As a parent who cares I can tell you "working with" the Teacher is often a huge waste of time. After 3 1/2 years and countless wasted hours talking to Liberal automatons we threw in the towel. We enrolled our daughter mid-year in private school. She was behind her class but by the end of the year, caught up. This year she is top ten.

As a parent myself, I've also had problems with some teachers. As a teacher, I've found parents who care and parents who can't be contacted at all, and parents in between.

I'm glad things worked out well for your daughter. I don't think public schools are the same in every area, and I don't think they are right for every child. Personally, I'd have preferred parochial schools for my child, if there had been any within 50 miles.
