I am dealing with my child's teacher (or student teacher) and am beginning to get a bit frustrated. My child really doesn't want me to say anything and I feel that for him and all the other students in the classes that I should; especially when the assignments don't match the curriculum or are so ambiguous that even I as an educated person can't understand.
There's my gripe, what's yours?

When my son was in the 5th grade he was "diagnosed" as ADD - school officials wanted to put him on Ritalin. He's an artist by nature, a right brain thinker/daydreamer and the class/school/teacher style of teaching was just unimaginative and boring to him. So he'd use his creative instincts and talents to be a cut-up. Wife and I said "no way" to the drugs and had to bite a $6K a year bullet and enrolled him in a Rudolph Steiner school where he flourished. WITHOUT the Ritalin.
Nowadays there's a drug and a pill for everything rather than good solid parenting and creative teaching.
That's MY gripe.
