268/365 I may have to do it myself....

Conference with a teacher today. An ARTS AREA teacher, who wondered why my daughter asked questions in class, and then basically did everything but call her a dummy. YES, this is important information. That's why you need to BE SURE the kids are getting it, not just ostracizing those who seek more help. Grades, grades, grades. Assigning and then evaluating without instructing. That's what she thought passed for teaching. She offered no support and did little to satisfy my request that she do everything in her power to help my child in class. She was confrontational, and treated me like an idiot. It's likely worse for the kids. Lack of quality teachers? Maybe the media is onto something.
