[quote=Anonymous]RVA suburban public school. Early elementary (K-2) -- now more than 10 years ago -- was excellent. Youngest is now a senior and, of the seven different teachers both DCs had at the HS level, only one was awful (to the point he was 'reassigned' the very next year). The others were all above average or downright excellent. These were all honors or dual-enrollment offerings. It was VERY disappointing during grades 3-7, probably when they might have needed it the most. Oddly enough, they did enough 'writing' in other classes, with teachers who [i]did[/i] grade for grammar, spelling, and composition, that they muddled through. We also added on when/where we could. We were disgusted with the lack of any effort to actually increase vocabulary. But I kinda get it; there are sooooo many kids who aren't even at grade-level that that's where teachers and resources go. Not saying it's right, just that it's so.[/quote]
