[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A new poster here, also at Claremont, and it can’t even get my kids’ teachers to respond to basic questions about performance, let alone get a thorough break down of their testing. [/quote]

I'm the first Claremont poster. I'm sorry to see two others wrestling with communication and similarly unhelpful feedback.

I'm most concerned presently by the response to an inquiry I made to my child's 4th grade teacher re: conjugation and grammar as I noted my child basically parrots what they hear said to them and always uses "tu" form instead of "yo". I raised this and the teacher responded that their Spanish instruction is more content based and that they do not focus on spelling and grammar. I'm really struggling to feel like it is appropriate or acceptable to allow 4th graders to breeze through without understanding the correct tenses and forms they should use in writing or speaking. I don't want to stir the pot and make the teacher retreat from communications, but, at the same time, I can't help but think this cannot be right. [/quote]
