        ITA. Are other dc having similar problems with this teacher? I mean, do you think it's a matter of poor fit between dc and the teacher, or does the teacher seem generally bad?

        That really stinks. Do the parents complain to the admin? Is this at Dalton or did someone else post that below?

  - Does your name start with R? I know a Dalton mom who'd post something like this if her kid wasn't coddled and fawned over.

Greatest regret? Anyone?

Posted October 3, 2007(37 replies)

is it ok to vent and post the name of my dc's detestable teacher?

no

what if it is of interest because teacher is from a highly desireable tt school?

oh, what the hell -- go ahead.

Yes, do it!

np. Don't do it, OP. Sounds like you're POed right now, probably understandably, but I think you're going to regret it later if you start naming names.

it's just so tragic that one teacher can ruin a child's entire academic year

ITA. Are other dc having similar problems with this teacher? I mean, do you think it's a matter of poor fit between dc and the teacher, or does the teacher seem generally bad?
