My son's teacher was new to his GT school this year and gave one of the worst presentations at curriculum night that I have ever seen. The parents at the school were not thrilled and the teacher ended up leaving for health reasons before the first month of school ended. After doing very little academic work with a long-term sub, he finally has a new teacher. My fellow parents seem excited about the new teacher...who has never had his own classroom before and who used to work as a special ed aide. We'll have to see what happens!
