I think the new Poway school is doing this where the kids just do classwork based on ability…You could have some kid good in math in 1st grade study with 3rd graders I believe, etc…
It seems like it’s being done in numerous schools in the bay area as well so like with the teacher issue, things can change if people want to and teachers aren’t resistant to it…
A part of me wonders if the teacher/principal is supportive of your home schooling because at the end of the day, they just wanted you to stop bothering them and go away. 🙂
I know as a business owner, I really don’t want a lot of problem customers or people who make my job harder than it needs to be. Yes, we’re all a little lazy and have our own problems.[/quote]
No, as someone who knows what teachers have to deal with, I would never give another teacher a hard time unless he/she is actually bad. “Bad” isn’t defined as having a style or philosophy that is different from mine. I volunteered in the classroom on a regular basis, and like the volunteer that BG mentioned in her own kid’s classroom, they would have me do assessments and more academic tasks vs. cutting paper, gossiping in the back of the classroom, distracting the kids, causing problems, etc. 😉
