Well. So much for that.

DD's teacher up and quit in favor of a better offer earlier this week. Back to square, well, (feels like) minus one.

Now I'll have to print out the email and hand it to the new teacher at a back-to-school get together on Sunday. School starts on Wednesday. I was hoping that my message would give the teacher a few days to think, followed by a gentle conversation at the get-together, followed by more thinking. Now I just have to hand it off to her on Sunday and hope for the best.

Advice appreciated. What would you do in this situation?

FWIW, I've been reviewing math with my daughter. What she can get through in one hour surprises me, and I'm her mom. Today we did 20 words-to-equations problems from Chapter 1 of an algebra book, followed by elapsed time practice (10:30 am to 12:43 pm = how much time?), area/perimeter practice (odd shapes), divisibility rules, circle the primes, decimal places, decimal division, and factors. Then I taught her how to get prime factors. This was all in less than one hour. She did ~70 problems and got ~95% of them right. And they might make her plod through 5th grade math.

Help!
