[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Teachers in MCPS are totally overwhelmed. Our curriculum is hard to teach, and we get very limited resources that are ready-to-use (most things you'll see are teacher-made or printed off the internet). I admit that parent communication is one of the things I am weak in. But I'm grading and planning for hours every day. (BTW, I teach second grade, but it's been like this in the three other ES grades I've taught).

Request a conference and if you get no response, contact the principal and let him/her know what's going on. If the teacher is not doing his/her job, you have a right to say so. But let her know what you are looking for. I would hope that a teacher would respond to a conference request immediately. Do you get report cards and progress reports? Friday folder reports? Do you mind sharing what school this is?[/quote]

I did have a conference with the teacher and she basically told me the same thing, that my son is doing fine. I asked if I could keep one of the books they use in the classroom overnight and she agreed. We get report cards but that is the only progress check. No homework except forreading about once a week. The school name begins with the letter C.[/quote]
