[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, is this about the Swanson 6th grade math teacher who was let go two weeks ago?  If yes, she crushed my daughter's spirit too, as well as all of her confidence in math. The fact that APS finally got around to doing something only two weeks before the math SOL was even more infuriating. [/quote]

Not op, but the one who screamed at everyone? [/quote]

Yes, the one who screamed at everyone. I still can't believe that it took a student video-taping that teacher with her iPad and emailing it to the counselors to get APS to do something about a situation that everyone knew was going on all year. I tried to talk to Swanson, as did many other parents, and we were repeatedly gaslit that there was a problem in the classroom. Even other teachers tried to flag the problem to Loft, since the screaming was audible through classroom walls and down the hallways. She did nothing until there was video evidence that could potentially go public.

We've had some amazing teachers in APS, and I know it is a hard, underpaid job. But that doesn't mean that there aren't completely crappy teachers out there too who shouldn't be in the classroom. And if your kid gets one of the crappy teachers, especially at a young age, it can do real damage to their confidence. [/quote]
