[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In what grade levels are the bad Lafayette teachers? 4th or 5th?  We've encountered one struggling teacher in the lower grades, but this teacher was reassigned to a non-classroom role the following year, which seems to be how the administration addresses poor teachers. Otherwise all the parents we've talked to either loved their teachers or thought they were fine.  is the problem with the upper grades?[/quote]

The worst teacher we've had was a 2nd grade teacher one year but is usually a special ed teacher (teachers in non classroom roles still have big impacts on students). At least one 4th grade teacher last year was so bad one of the instructional coaches had to take over. 5th grade is mixed. [/quote]

Mixed how? 50/50? Honest question. Mixed can mean many things. Is there anyone good in 5th? [/quote]

One of the very good 5th grade teachers has left the classroom this year to serve in a support position.  Another good 5th grade teacher who taught 5th grade left Lafayette this year.  There is so much turnover and moving around of positions it’s a tough question to answer from year to year.  One of the reading specialists will be teaching 5th without a team teacher in math.  I’m sure she is strong in ELA but math/science is an open question.  One 5th grade teacher was involved in the racial incident that made international news.  All of that is so say, it may be too soon to tell.  I don’t have experience with other schools but from speaking with friends I think that there is usually more stability year to year making a question like this one easier to answer.  [/quote]
