More joy to share.
Son got the same teacher for second year in a row. It's a 3/4 split, with 8 4's. 4 of the 4's were in his class last year; two discipline problems who already know they have to stand at opposite ends of lines, an English Second Language kid who's often late as he has to look after his grade 1 brother (in Daughter's class), and my Son. She already knows what he can do, where he needs help, and how we're dealing with his problems, and my own quirks. Homework's consistent and relates to each day's lessons, and she's got a week or two prepared in advance in each subject (organized, but with flexibility). Firm but flexible discipline, as opposed to jellyfish or brittle. It'll be good for him to be an older kid; he socializes better with the younger ones. She really adapts to the class and doesn't rush ahead just to cover the curriculum; nor does she omit the tough stuff. Overall, a great teacher and Hubby and I are thrilled. He's a bit disappointed he didn't get the teacher who doesn't give homework, but on the other hand that one makes her kids run for 20 minutes a day.
Daughter got a teacher with very high expectations. From other parents, she may be brittle as far as discipline goes; her voice is heard all down the hall, and she had them put their heads on the desk till all were silent. I rather like that, provided she has something else for when it's just not gonna work.
So, happy!
PS Wish me luck; Core Dynamics Pilates today; I haven't done aerobics in ages, but I love Pilates and this instructor.
