My son has just finished third grade. It's been a horrible year: the teacher has thrown more personal responsibilities on the students without ensuring good through-communications with the parents. This generated confusion and dismay!
The curriculum was unchallenging (Saxon) and my son learned nothing that he didn't already know.
What's horrible is that the teacher essentially put him on a shelf for the year.
My son asserts that his teacher visibly enjoyed teaching the girls in the class, but that the boys were not her focus.
I'm mad because he wasted a year, and in the process, developed a very negative attitude toward schoolwork.
Should I complain to the principal? Or will this just be disregarded?
