[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am beyond disgusted with this class.   DD, normally, a good student is totally lost.  Math isn't her thing, but with work, she can do it.    Material is just shoved at them before they have even had time to digest it.  She was recommended for Honors Geometry, but I think for the rest of her high school career, I am going to seek regular math.  She has had only 3 days to cover an ENORMOUS amount of material on "Construction"  No time to absorb one concept before rushing to the next.

I took Geometry.   I realize it isn't the same now as it was umpteen years ago, but these kids don't even have time to absorb one  concept before they rush off to the next.  Yesterday, she called me at work in tears.

This is teaching?  This is a 'good' school?

Give me a break.

Actually it is a good school. And possibly not so great teacher? Or your darling child should work harder themselves? Why is it always the schools fault? This is life, get used  to it more importantly get your child used to it. How will they fix the problem themselves? Are they asking for extra help and not getting the help? Then move up the chain to the department head. Or get a tutor on your own. Either way what will your child do in college when they have a class with a poor teacher or they don't understand the material?
