[quote=Anonymous]NP here ~ I did hear some complaints from DD, who's now in college, re: the teacher not doing any teaching and they had to teach themselves -this was math, and I think chemistry too. And I did hear from DD something similar to this:

The students ask questions all over the assignment spectrum and because the teachers have not prepped for any particular lesson they don't have quality answers formulated right off the top of their heads. Rather than answering legitimate valid questions from their students the Teacher's responses are "you should know that answer from your readings" and then they walk away annoyed at the child because they were asked questions in which they were unprepared to answer.

"After a while the students stop asking questions and the teachers stop venturing away from their desks and the students stop asking questions.

I do think it's a concern. I was always most concerned that the Principal was never present in the classroom, ever, never stopped in to see how things were going. Didn't seem to know that "teaching" wasn't going on. If a complaint was brought up to the Principal they would have said it wasn't happening.
