[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's important to find ways to let the principal know which teachers absolutely suck and have no business in a classroom.

The wealthiest schools often have some of the worst teachers, because most families will find work-arounds like tutoring outside the classroom.  If a teacher is not trying to help every child succeed, that's a problem, whether it's at Cooper or Whitman.  [/quote]

As someone posted above, one of changes this year is no more required after school time. At HS some teachers stay longer but think most have -at most- 1 day they stay after 30 minutes. If struggling, need to do outside tutor these days. For math, Kahn is your friend.[/quote]

^^ should be super fun when MS roll out everyone to take Algebra in 8th and even more kids need help and no help to be given[/quote]

Going thru this right now. Kid is in 8th grade Algebra and immediately is struggling because the teacher is new and doesn't know the content and offers little to no support. I teach math. I see her notes and see what she does/does not do in class when I review my kid's papers. The instruction is very bad. My other child had a different very experienced math teacher two years before who was excellent. I am so incredibly disappointed that this is what we got stuck with. If I'd known, I probably wouldn't have chosen algebra for her this year. [/quote]
