[quote=Anonymous]OP you need to separate two problems and figure out which you want to solve (and if both, attack separately):

1. Your daughter needs to learn calculus, and get a grade that suggests as much
2.  Your daughter's teach isn't helping the students in the class learn the material.

For (1), tutor (which you already have). Also, there are now tons of online lectures on standard topics like calculus.  Find a good series. Have you daughter use the class period to do work in advance and ignore the teacher's lectures if they aren't effective.  Have her do other things during lunch because this teacher isn't helpful.

For (2), document clearly the concerns with specifics.  Share these concerns at the end of the year, after grades are out with the teacher, if you feel they will be receptive. or another teacher or administrator if not.

If you are just mad your daughter has a bad teacher, I'm sorry.  It happens. Hopefully this teacher will improve. But you have to get over this.  Or this is a much, much bigger problem that there is a teacher shortage and we don't train teachers as well as we should or provide good support for new teachers who need help.

I hope this is the type of constructive feedback you are looking for.
