[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Create a record of your kid trying to get help from this teacher after hours.  If the teacher won’t help, or provide additional resources, demand a meeting with the counselor and principal and ask for your kid to be reassigned to a different teacher no later than next quarter.  [/quote]

Teachers are no longer required to provide help after hours.

To the parent - I'm so sorry that your kid got a less effective teacher. Unfortunately that's sometimes how it works and you and your kid will need to figure out a way to get through the year despite the teacher. Im guessing that the other Algebra 1H classes are pretty full, so it's unlikely the counselor will be able to move the schedule.

Sink or swim, right?

No wonder so many people are giving up on FCPS.  [/quote]

Just stop.

FCPS is a large school system people get bad teachers it is as old as time.

Do you really believe this?

The "bad teachers" in FCPS now are a different breed than the "bad teachers" of a generation ago.  Teaching used to be a more respected profession, and it attracted fewer people who are allowed to retain their jobs because they are basically a body with a license but no teaching skills.  [/quote]

DP.  I had a horrible Algebra teacher 30 years ago in FCPS.  Awful.  My parents had to meet with the guidance counselor twice before she would agree to move me to a different class.  My own kids have had a few terrible teachers too - particularly at Longfellow MS.  This isn't something new.[/quote]

I graduated from FCPS almost 35 years ago and had an awful, awful Geometry teacher… as well as a few other bad teachers in those 4 years. This is not a new problem.[/quote]
