[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A little off topic, but I feel like these worksheets are replacing true instruction during the day as well.  I ask my daughter every day what she did in school, and every day she talks about all the worksheets they did.  It's a concern how much instruction is, or is not happening during the day.. [/quote]

I 100% agree!!! I get folders full of worksheets. I ask about actual lessons and it sounds like they are brief and boring mostly with the occasional creative lesson thrown in. Usually over half the worksheets have not been checked by the teacher so I go over mistakes. Whatever happened to textbooks? At least with a text I could read the lesson myself and come up with a novel way to teach it to my child.

There have been some great teachers too, but they just make the bad ones all the more unbearable. Is anything even being done to help the paper pushers and endless test-givers make learning more interesting. Is there any oversight beyond parents having to complain repeatedly. Usually it has to be about 10 parents who have expressed concern to the teacher and then if things don't improve, to the principal before anything is done.[/quote]
