My daughter was flying in year 7 with a great science teacher in a relatively new school. She now has her form tutor in year 8 as her science teacher. He taughter her the physics "bit" last year. Her report at the end of year 7 was a 7c for science. This year her mid term report for science was 6b. She has often told me how this teacher struggles to control the class and his style of teaching is very different from other teachers, just states the facts and you copy them down with no room for discussion or getting the hang of something.
She used to be full of it for science but now couldnt care less.
I feel like I have chosen the wrong school. The only time you get to meet the teachers is if there is something wrong or you request a meeting - see picky parent.
I feel like I am always trying to get her going about school, trying to get her interested - my education was crap, I never went and my Mum didnt really care.
I feel like I am not smart enough to get her interested in her work again. Her Maths is okish (5b) and her English is also okish 5A.
Its a long rant, sorry, and Im not even sure where I am going with this. But I dont know where to go next. Any ideas?
