You don't like the teacher and there's a year to go...
So by now the students are settling in, and you have heard from your kids about their teachers.
Sometimes you have what might be called "a bad fit." Your kid needs a pusher; you have a coddler. Or you may have a sensitive kid, and the teacher's a screamer. (Or so you perceive.)
What do you do? Suck it up? Take some kind of action?
What's the right thing to do?
Teachers, what's your experiences? Do you want to know if there's a 'bad fit?' (I have a decent pro-teacher background; my dad was an assistant principal for 35 years, but in another time, at another place.)
I'm writing up a story about that situation, and would appreciate some real-life anecdotes.
Email me at nsortal@sun-sentinel.com.
Thanks!
