On the plus side, she seems to be an excellent teacher for language arts. DD had a trivial spelling list last week (she knew 14 of 15 words already), but this week she had a list with no previously-known words, about half of which she was unable to define, either. Apparently, she and another girl got their own list this week, plus a second, harder, pretest to determine which words they'll get in the future.
She clearly is not a math teacher, though - the extra credit assignments are all book reports, and you get to choose to which subject (including math!) you apply the extra points. DD seems to be happy enough with the way math is being handled, though. There's not much emphasis on timed drills, which DD hates.
