[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A truly incompetent teacher is a blight. We are paying for a private school this year and have one of the most inefficient and stupid women I've ever had the misfortune to meet,as the teacher of our DC.

We itemized her incompetencies and asked the principal if they would move our kid to another class.

No. We get to "work with" the fool for the rest of the year.

If I don't die of a heart attack first.[/quote] Why would you pay for that?[/quote]

My thought exactly! (And I'm a private school parent.)

I'm not the PP, but my guess is that she's already paid the tuition and doesn't want to waste the money but putting her DC in a public school classroom with a competent teacher for the rest of the school year. Instead she'll just come of DCUM periodically to complain.

Oddly, PP's situation kinda reminds me of the joke in Annie Hall:
“ two elderly women are at a Catskill mountain resort, and one of ‘em says, ‘Boy, the food at this place is really terrible.’ The other one says, ‘Yeah, I know; and such small portions.’”

Actually I have only ever written about this situation once, right here, but thanks for that vote of confidence.
The reason we haven't changed schools for our DC yet is that[b] it would be too disruptive for the child[/b]. And yes, a lot of money has left our account which was a personal sacrifice, not an easy loss. We will see the year out and then change.

What could be more disruptive than a lost foundation year because the teacher is so incompetent and stupid?

'Fess up, PP. Is the teacher REALLY that bad?[/quote]
