Hope you figure something out, the guy shouldn't be teaching- especially that way.Charlottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16349403417525132723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-585748112633478360.post-36220380503221745732010-03-09T15:23:37.896-07:002010-03-09T15:23:37.896-07:00*sigh* I just don't get it.

I don't have any advice to give, but I will say that you're good to stay involved and on top of the things that are going on in your son's school, and you are under no obligation to allow the indoctrination to be one-sided.<br /><br />My very wise SIL once told me, "I totally believe in brain washing.

The MC was violently ill the week of finals and all of her teachers found a way to help her make up her final except for one. This same teacher was totally inflexible about it and railed against the other teachers for not being flexible (they all were--it took all their flexibility for her to make up the finals she did manage to take). When she was in middle school, I discovered that questioning certain teachers meant that your child was going to have trouble with that teacher in class. So not right but I suppose everyone is human (my school teacher husband certainly is). At this point, we are thinking that private religious schools are going to be a must. We are first in line.Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12660156433881882098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-585748112633478360.post-20676677161728756732010-03-06T12:31:44.731-07:002010-03-06T12:31:44.731-07:00Amen to that!

There are some really great teachers out there, and some, uh, not so great ones too. :( Hope you can get issues resolved soon.Valeriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04509943360694488817noreply@blogger.com
