[quote=Anonymous]My DD has had two first year teachers in elementary school so far. Both have been great and better than many of her more experienced teachers. They are young and energetic, have the latest and best new ideas and techniques, and aren't burnt out or jaded yet.

The first one she had was absolutely phenomenal and probably the best teacher she's ever had. Just made for the job and had a way with the kids that was completely unique. The second one was a great teacher, but we did have a bit of a rough start when she misinterpreted some behavior from my kid and I could tell sort of labeled her in her head. It was inaccurate, but a reasonable mistake for someone with limited experience to make. And luckily it worked itself out both as my kid's behavior settled and the teacher got to know her better. Also helpful for me in the future to see how my special snowflake's behavior can be interpreted by others!

Go into the year with an open mind and you may be pleasantly surprised. [/quote]
