[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter is a teacher as are many of my friends.  I just do not know how they keep from losing it with parents like this.  I have so much admiration for their ability to ignore the stupidity and just teach.  I simply cannot imagine dealing with the OP or her kid day after day. [/quote]

Geez, some nasty ass people on this forum. OP asked for a way to ask the teacher for their schedule, and ya'll acting like she asking for their blood type and ss#.

OP, try to ignore posts like that. Its an anonymous forum, so they use any chance to let out their bitterness on here. Just ask the teacher for the schedule. If they give it ot you great, you're good to go. If not, then teach your child the most important things and talk to the principal about the lack of transparency. It is not worth going above that for.

It all really depends on the teacher, which will change from year to year, so you don't want to depend on them anyway. But your taxes pay their salary and they are teaching your child so you have the right to ask. [/quote]

How does having the teacher's schedule help in this situation? If OP knows that ELA is taught from 9:15-11:00 as opposed to 1:30-3:15, how does that help OP?[/quote]

Yearly schedule. As in Sept, Oct, Nov, Dec.[/quote]

DP and a public school teacher who supplemented my kids: I never worried about trying to match up with their classroom teacher’s schedule. I made my own calendar and if things overlapped, great. If not, NBD. Everything we did was interdisciplinary and hands on learning. No worksheets. No quizzes. Sometimes, it was really nice for them that what we did at home didn’t match in any way what they did at school.[/quote]

NP here. I agree that I think OP should ignore trying to coordinate with the public school schedule. Your whole purpose was to do things that aren't being covered. Just treat what you want to do as separate "activities" you might sign up for. Since you aren't designing an actual curriculum that has to be approved by the state, and you don't have to be monitored like you were homeschooling, just relax a little bit about what you want to do and be flexible with homework sent home from school. If your daughter is not behind and the homework seems like busy work, just let the teacher know that you are choosing for your child to do something else with her time (and ignore whatever report card consequences happen.) If the homework seems important (part of a project) adjust what you were planning on doing.[/quote]
