I really don't envy teachers. At all. It must be very difficult to constantly readjust to these new systems being thrown at you every other week.
The teachers seemed to feel that they were getting adequate training and would deal.
I'd say fully 90% of the parents at these meetings were disgruntled, confused, or terrified. This in a district that, by and large, for most populations*, does a good job of producing educated kids.
To me, that says that even here, parents aren't sure what's going on in their school, are unsure of what their kids need and how to get it. The overall level of anxiety about education in this country is so high.
