[quote=Anonymous]I'd say y'all have a point, but having done more research, there's credible evidence from other past students and from other parents that this particular teacher is very poor. Even in her non-honors classes, the kids are confused. Parents tell me that their complaints to the administration have met with 'yes, we know there's an issue with her but we can't do much about it'.

The facts are the facts. When you have kids on the honors track going through the math classes pulling As and Bs and hit an Algebra 2 honors class and the majority start failing, putting it back on the children without exploring further is absurd.

Having read through more threads on this board (and not being from this area originally), the theme seems to be 'my kid is smarter than yours and your kid doesn't belong where my kid does'. Maybe it's the competitive nature of the DC area, I don't know, but ... wow...

FWIW, I've never been a 'pusher' and don't care if my DC decides not to take honors. I DO care if my tax dollars are paying for teachers who have a history of not teaching. [/quote]
