UGH!!

Well the first day of school went well for Dylan, but Kayla....not so much.  I was worried about her English class because she had the same teacher last year and she was awful.  Turns out...the bigger problem is probably going to be her Algebra II teacher.  He's awful.  Always has been.  Been there for over 25 years.  Nobody can do anything with him.  Here are a few things that he told her class yesterday....1) I'm not gonna stand up here and teach.  You have a laptop, your textbook is online and if you have a question, watch the tutorial on there.  2) If you don't pass my class with an A or a B, you might as well forget college.  3) Test tomorrow on everything you know.  And it's for a grade.    Now....I understand giving them a test to see what they know, BUT some of these kids haven't had Algebra in two years!!!  No review and nothing to study!!!!  I am SOOOO MAD!!!  Kayla was in tears at dinner.  She's so stressed.  Math isn't her strong suit anyway and now this idiot is slamming them down before they ever get started!!!!  I really, really had to talk myself out of making a call or sending an email.  I prayed about it.  Asked for some advice.  Then decided against doing anything right now except getting her a tutor right away!  This goes against my nature and my first instincts, but Kayla insists (and Tim agreed) that if I cause a stink it will only make it worse for her in class.  I know this is true, but what he's doing is WRONG!  However, he's been doing it for so long and no one can do anything about it.  I've heard others have tried.  Basically we have to put up with it the best we can.  It's sad.  Pathetic.  But...I'm resolving to keep my mouth shut for her sake. For now.......
