My eighth-grader is very unhappy with his algebra teacher. The teacher gives out demerits all the time for the slightest misbehavior, offers very quick and inadequate explanations of new material and never reminds the students about future assignments after they have been assigned. Once, my son got a D for handing in an assignment one day late.
It seems to me that this teacher is handling the students as if they were in high school. I am not alone in complaining. Other parents are complaining about his teaching.
My son is doing well in every other class but only getting a C in algebra. This is not a great grade for someone going on to geometry in high school. I want my son to be a responsible student but feel that this teacher is unreasonable. How should I handle this? -- Dissatisfied
