People on this board are really scraping the bottom of the barrel with complaints about teachers, teacher preparation programs, and public schools.[b] I thought your kids were falling desperately behind because they weren’t in school![/b] Now they never learned anything to begin with because teachers are master “time killers”. Maybe what really takes up so much time is disciplining your children who have never heard that word no or been taught any respect or work ethic. Just a thought! [/quote]

Hardly.  If anything, DL has shown us how little is actually done in school.  My kids are so much further ahead due to my supplementation than they've ever been in school, largely because unlike the teachers, I'm bothering to actually try to teach them anything.  My kids have never had any discipline issues, are well behaved in class, and are above grade level in all subjects.  Unfortunately, in FCPS, that means that they're completely ignored.

I'm not blaming teachers.  Teachers have 30 kids packed in a classroom, many below grade level, and they're forced to be special ed teachers, ESOL teachers, and regular classroom teachers rolled into one.  It stinks, though, for the bright, well behaved kids who are getting almost nothing from the teachers.  [/quote]
