[quote=Anonymous]What works for one child doesn't work for others. I didn't have bad teachers when I was growing up but definitely clicked with some rather than others.

My kids started at one of the EOP schools where most of the experienced teachers had been fired under Rheeform, and were replaced by shiny new teachers straight out of superior colleges.  Their classroom management skills were terrible - lots of yelling and punishing, and they lacked that teaching experience that gives them that valuable 6th sense about when problem child #3 is about to blow his / her stack.  At our not so shiny school now, we have teachers with 30 years experience, and the difference is amazing.  My one son has trouble sitting still, and I love that my kid is not the first wiggly kid they've seen.  At his old school he was"bad" all the time; in his new school he's just fine.

I think the charters that think their new teachers are just fine haven't seen what happens when kids get older and the problems get more entrenched.  That's when you really want the older teacher with more experience who has seen it all before and can address the needs if everyone in one classroom so that the "problem child" doesn't even know he's a problem because he is diverted before he goes too far down the road[/quote]
