[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here is one part of the solution - give all students an Algebra textbook.  A kid misses a day of school or doesn't understand the class lecture.  The student can go back and review the textbook.  Today, [b]with no book a student misses class and they have no way to study the content [/b]and Algebra builds so a good foundation is important.  [/quote]

No way to study the content without a textbook? There are many math resources on line these days. Many, many, many, many, many math resources.

Yes there are, but damned if I can find out what they're supposed to be learning in their classes.  Just a few worksheets come home, and I have very little clue what is coming next.[/quote]

Have you asked the teacher? Or, more importantly, has your child asked the teacher?[/quote]

New PP chiming in - I have sent emails to the teacher and requested meetings.  The teacher failed to show for 2 meetings.  I met with the Principal and Department Chair instead.  My child goes in daily to meet with the Department Chair because the teacher is not teaching the curriculum.  The Principal and the Department Chair see the problem but they are stuck with a unionized teacher who is failing at his job.[/quote]

Wow, just wow. My sympathies, OP, and kudos for advocating as well as you could.[/quote]
