looking for advice from educators...well BadAss teachers
How do parents who disagree with the standards the the school now has to follow fight back? It is so easy to blame the teacher, but they can do little. They are doing there jobs...while most of them didn't sign up for the type of teaching that is being asked of them.
Its only 2 months into my sons first grade year and he is sitting for 16 page assements and tests weekly. I was told this week that he would be held in from recess so that he could be taught how to properly take a test. At least twice a week he comes home emotionally beaten down. In two short months my 6 year old is a shell of the boy he once was. At 6 he is reading, missing 1 or 2 words of a 20 words spelling test. He seems to understand the concept of + and -. I felt confident that he would do well, he has up till now been very excited to tackle new things.
I know what is happening at the school is wrong, but I also know blaming the teacher will do little but create more problems.
I am very interested in all points of view
