So, got teacher assignment ... the last-minute hire who I know nothing about. Trying to keep an open mind, sigh.

And to make matters worse DS7 got a new teacher as well, one who sent a cursive-written postcard about being a mature and responsible second grader. She didn't even address him by name at the top! And, um, maybe she doesn't realize that the kids don't LEARN cursive till 2nd grade. So, of course, the kid who's reading a year ahead needed me to read the card to him. NOT boding well.
