That math teacher sounds like yet another "educator" who seems to know very little about kids. My town is trying to "accelerate" everything, too, and I'm fighting it every step of the way. Maybe I'll forward the Montgomery County stuff to our Superintendent. I have to say that I enjoy the look of panic that I see in his eyes when he sees me coming now. And my daughter's just in first grade! I love how the parents say the 5th grade teacher gets the kids "ready for 6th grade." Uggh! Thanks for fighting the good fight with us, FedUpMom!Kimnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4184539467031647989.post-14456741420713361282010-11-07T09:59:34.040-08:002010-11-07T09:59:34.040-08:00Chris, that teacher is a piece of work.

Terrific, start abusing the kids in 5th grade so they'll be completely numb by 6th grade.FedUpMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00951858601020687242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4184539467031647989.post-33623079062561381602010-11-07T09:03:39.980-08:002010-11-07T09:03:39.980-08:00FedUpMom, I had never read that particular post of...FedUpMom, I had never read that particular post of yours on Stop Homework until now. I'm just amazed that any educator would think that using letter grades in fifth grade is a good idea, or that giving a big red "F" to a ten-year-old is anything other than abusive. Seriously, what next?Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12919030671050831251noreply@blogger.com
