re: Schools and teachers are a Joke

You sound like one of those nightmare parents. The teacher only has so much time to spend with your child in a day on whatever subject it is he is struggling with. Hopefully that teacher is trying his/her best during that time. However, the kid obviously needs MORE than what she is able to give so it is YOUR responsibility as the parent to help your child after school. It sounds like the teacher is doing her job by providing you with plenty of resources. A bad teacher would ignore your concerns or just keep sending home the same homework. This actually sounds like a teacher who took the time to research and provide you with options to help your child outside of school. Basically, you suck as a parent and your child is doomed.

Just this week, my kid had math homework which involved "line plots". I'm college educated and pretty good at math and I had never heard that term. Kid was struggling with it and didn't understand it.
I googled "common core math line plots". I found a 6 minute video that explained it. Was just never something we did in school, but it made a lot of sense. I then turned to my child and explained it to her, and after a few tries, she started to understand it.
I guess I could have screamed and yelled about the teacher and blamed her for my kid not understanding it as taught in class. But, it took me a few min, and we got it handled, she's better for it, and hell I learned something new.
Edit: After that I still felt pretty stupid so I called a friend who teaches middle school math. He said, yeah, we definetly did not do this when we were kids, it's a new concept being taught today.
