[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]why would a teacher complain about parents' suppliment? Isn't that a good thing?[/quote]

1. The schools and more so the teachers are under A LOT of pressure to show gap reduction. This is hard. Parents that educate their kids in school make the gap worse. Its better to for the teachers for the high performing kids to not perform so high.

2. The kids are bored because they are doing what they did in preschool. A bored first grader wiggles, talks to other kids and has trouble sitting still. When they get older they can doodle or daydream and no one cares.

3. The kid asks the teacher why he has to draw circles to figure out 2+2=4. The teacher is reminded how stupid the curriculum is that she has to dish out every day. [/quote]

wow, that explains why my 3rd grader came home with comic strips on the back of every class assignment, and why he kept asking for help  to answer the question "explain how drawing circles helps you learn multiplication" . Yes, they are still drawing circles after 3 years.[/quote]
