[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'll try to be specific, but vague enough to be anonymous.

Silent lunch has been an issue all year. Partly because we don't want our kids to have to sit in silence during lunch, but also because of the lack of transparency, shifting explanations, and sometimes outright lying about it has eroded trust, regardless of what you think of the actual policy.

There is also an emphasis on making sure all teachers in a grade teach the exact same thing. While I can see the advantages, it makes teachers really uunhappy, which is not good. It is also used as an excuse by some teachers to just teach to the middle, rather than attempt differentiation. I have one kid who is generally above grade level and one kid who is generally below grade level, and this has been a problem for both of them.[/quote]

Not a Lafayette parent but you do realize those complaints sound ridiculous, right?  So kids have to be quiet for a bit and she is trying to make sure there is equitable teaching across the grade level. Makes sense to me. [/quote]
