Have you examined your parenting style?
? That's hardly helpful or relevant.

DC has had mostly so so teachers, ok classes and some really bad ones. DC feels like the teachers just throw the info out there at them but don't actually discuss the material in a knowledge-imparting way. The classes are just powerpoint presentations and worksheets and more worksheets. DC gets good grades but is starving for an engaging teacher and interesting class. DC doesn't even care what the topic is as long as it can be presented in a meaningful way. If your DC has had any great experiences please please tell me here!
Why doesn't your "DC" ask his friends? They are better judges of teachers than parents.
