[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What do you mean by problem teachers in RLA? Is RLA reading/language arts?[/quote]

I think PP means the 4th grade CES teacher who did her best to destroy any love of learning and joy for life in her students.[/quote]

She was a demanding teacher that had high expectations of the students which isn't opular. However, my children learned a lot in her class .[/quote]

High expectations in this case = excessive volume, quantity over quality[/quote]

I know she didn't hand out A's like candy so a lot of parents were upset.[/quote]

I know she expected 9 and 10 year olds to write 25-40 pages typewritten ten chapter + assignments (longer than anything they produce in high school) so a lot of parents were upset.

I know she expected kids to write ludicrously detailed and highly specific book reports every week but write them on a t-shirt they designed or on a dodecahedron they built or on a cereal box or some other ridiculous time consuming build at home design so a lot of parents were upset.

I could go on. [/quote]

Huh. We had her 4 years ago and none of this happened. [/quote]

We had her 3 years ago. Maybe I forgot, but none of that sounds familiar to me either. I mostly remember her class was hard but my kid learned to write well because of her. [/quote]
