[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m shocked at the low level of some of my kids teachers. Why does teaching seem to attract the crazies? Low entry bar? I worship the highly competent teachers I come across but they are far and few between [/quote]

I lament the harsh ones who rushed off to leave so quickly after the school day, with impatience toward any student who might have a question.  I recognize they've got lives and yadda yadda, but somehow, a bunch of people who were demanding my kid learn to self-advocate taught him a certain shyness that translated into being afraid to go to office hours in college.

Teachers really have to pick:

a) have some office hours to help those who were out or were confused
b) handle email promptly so that personal stuff can be attended to appropriately. "During class" isn't the answer because it is just to hectic.

My kid is no snowflake.  Sometimes a kid really does have a special concern, circumstance, or need that cannot be handled during class.[/quote]
