What's especially annoying is when teachers send home work that wasn't introduced in the classroom.

I read an aricle a couple of years ago where a woman was complaining because she got an e-mail from her child's teacher stating that the PARENTS would be responsible for teaching their children the multiplication table through nine. Makes you wonder what is really going on in that classroom.

Hey, if you have to do that, you can do everything else too. Might as well homeschool if you choose to do so. You just don't want to hear the head of the NEA say that parents are not capable of teaching their children. They can't have it both ways.

Math is a stickler, When I took over my children's education, my oldest had just finished 3rd grade. She couldn't understand the basics of add and subtract.
Telling time had not even been introduced.

Not every PS is the same, but it sure allows for a lot of kids to fall through the cracks.
