    Kidding! Though I admit I wanted to, badly (fourth should never be confused with forth).

    OMG! DD10's teacher recently sent home a review document fraught with spelling and grammatical errors. I had the same feeling.

    Sorry. I didn't realize you'd had the meeting. I should have read the whole thread first!

    no problem. LOL! Actually the emails may have been better. I am way more sarcastic in person. I'm pretty sure that she is defensive for many of the reasons you stated, pink. The two girls that are accelerated into her class have engineers for parents and the others are slightly more vocal than I am.

    This cracks me up. After the first few days of school, I asked my older son how he liked his new 5th grade teacher. His reply: She seems okay, but she mispronounces some words during read aloud.
