[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] OP I feel the same way! I think the protest has to come from the parents not teachers. FCPS has shown that teacher input is not valued enough (half day Mondays/northrum Grummon assessments)

I like that one teacher on here puts all notes on blackboard. Wish more would do that.

Heck I wish they could videotape some of these classes without showing students. it can  be used to help parents, but also to help teachers. You could show videos of the star teachers at training so other teachers learn new ways to teach.

One of the teachers my daughter had for math would confuse herself teaching. My daughter reported this to me, but I could tell based on the work that came home and the few times I called or emailed the teacher for clarification on math. I would like to see what is taught, to get a sense of what works for my child and what doesn't, but also so I can see when the teacher doesn't understand at all. I don't even blame the teacher for not having a good grasp. Some of the new ways of teaching math are confusing and not every teacher is strong in that area.

What is wrong with ecart? They are given every quarter and have been helpful to see where my child's weaknesses are. In fact, it's the only reading assignment that takes place during school we see all year. Other school districts do videotape their lessons and then kids can go back and relearn information if they need to. I think it's a great idea, but I can see how teachers might not like to be videotaped. Aren't some of the high school classes already videotaped since you can take them online?[/quote]
