Most people simply complain to their friends and just hold their breath until that year is over, but, guess what, there is a whole new group of kids and parents that have to deal with THAT teacher. Believe me, we teachers would also like to see certain teachers out of the school system. As a parent, I am my child's first and most important teacher. Whatever is being taught at school, I help my child to understand at home. Parents, we need to keep involved, for our children and their future.
ALL parents are educators whether they be good ones or bad ones.
I have a vested interest in my children's education and I KNOW how they learn best. It doesn't mean it will work for them, but it's another option. I am college educated, not a teaching degree. But that doesn't make a bit of difference to me, or other parents in the same situation. So, to OP, as a teacher, you should appreciate the involved parent.
