School Venting Begins

[aunt betty]

The public school system is ran by 'the corporate model' like everything in our country.
It's mission is to train ppl who will get minimum wage jobs and not threaten the status quo.
It is VERY SUCCESSFUL at doing just that.

Send your children to private schools that are owned by churches if you value their (your children's) futures.

This question. The straw that broke the camel's back. I had to include a note. Couldn't take it anymore.

Should've also told her Ralph is a greedy fuck, with too many race cars. As per her savior and leader, Obammy, Ralph should share his race cars with the less fortunate children. Its the right thing to do.

AT, build a robot teacher and home school your kids.

I can't even begin to figure out what the fuck the question is asking! who the fuck writes these dumb fucking books?

I am torn between telling here it is a dumb question but let's solve this together because you will have to solve a lot of stupid stuff in life. Or, if it is causing a block for her in her learning, then going your route and having her demonstrate success and avoiding the stupid ones/tens/hundred questions. Will be fun to see the teachers response.

She gets plenty of work. I do agree with your point, but it's akin to dropping me in the middle of an advanced physics class, with no prior classes, and expecting me to "learn new things" rather than get frustrated and pissed off. I agree that it's necessary to work through hard things, but this is like trying to build a house with a cinder block and a stick- they don't have the proper tools yet. They haven't even added or subtracted 3 digit numbers yet, for Pete's sake.

I'm curious to see what (if anything) the teacher has to say as well. If she takes me up on the offer of a call, I will happily go see her. And then I will ask to see in the work they've done up to this point where they learned and practiced adding and subtracting 3 digit numbers (they haven't), algebra (they haven't), or 2-step problem solving (they haven't). Maybe I''ll hand her a sheet of paper and a pencil and start speaking in Korean, demanding she transcribe it. Because hey, she knows how to write and listen and recognize grammar patterns. No reason for her to get it wrrong or to get frustrated, is there?

There is that option too. The only route I know is public and then get the shit scared out of you in college until you stop partying enough to begin studying.

the teacher will have a no contact order slapped on ya shortly

If you break that problem down into 1s/10s/100s it is not that hard, but it may be beyond the skill level they have been trained as you said. Let her try with you and see if she gets it. Eventually Bug will get it even if the concept is stupid. The greater life lesson is that she knows you got her back no matter what.

[rozzo842]

That's ridiculous. It took me a few minutes to figure out what they wanted her to do. What grade is this assa?

[assateague]

2nd

[3legged_lab]

And if you'd let her follow the curriculum she'll be a genius by Jr high.

[aunt betty]

3rd grade teachers are the worst.

You tell that to special Ed.

But it's still gold.

Truth, it means everything to those kids.

[assateague]

As it does to the kids in school now. Maybe poor taste in analogies, but when I see valedictorians now who make simple grammar mistakes, it's painfully obvious that public education has become a societal experiment, and has little to do with education.

[rebelp74]

I don't agree with the everyone gets a medal shit. You know the system is fucked when retards do it the right way.

I was third in my class and I have trouble spelling all the time. Does that make me a failure?

Dammit I validated my statement pretty well right there.

@ Yes, you are a failure.@

[Feelin' Fowl]

People no longer need to know how to spell. They only need to know how to get it close. Computers can do the rest...

More time and effort should be put into sentance structure, and match word problems.
