Your last sentence says it all.
Good teachers are respected and highly regarded by most if not all parents. There are also those who should find themselves another occupation. Printing out something from the internet and passing them out to children and telling them to work independently or in groups, day after day, month after month should not be allowed, but is unfortunately happening.

Totally agree.
Middle school is not high school. Why is it that teachers feel frustrated when an 11 or 12 year old is not independent? Why do teachers assume kids need to come to 6th grade knowing how to write research papers and do critical thinking and analysis? And these folks have no problem telling the parent "he was supposed to have done this in elementary". 
I had no idea that a project based middle school = end of high school/college work as far as teacher student interaction goes. Needless to say they will never admit to it.
Basis has hired an academic head of school who will oversee that what teachers say they are doing is indeed being done in classrooms. They have a reputation they don't want to tarnish.[/quote]
