[QUOTE="fly2cast, post: 151762, member: 656"] As far as I'm concerned, a good teacher is worth their weight in gold. My 4th grade son has a excellent teacher this year. I have no doubt that this teacher will change the direction of his life. His third grade teacher was ok for most kids, but didn't reach my son. I was very close to getting my son counseling and possibly putting him on some medication for attention deficit issues. I knew things were different when I met his fourth grade teacher from the first day I met him. He wears a three piece suit every day and has the respect of the kids. According to this teacher, he's had no problems with my kid and says he a leader in the class. My son went from being an above average kid in math and reading (but at his grade level) to testing as a 7th grader in math (just took the test yesterday). He's a teacher that runs by his own rules. The kids are allowed to chew gum, eat whatever they want as a snack (not just "healthy food"), and even eat things with peanuts in them. But they don't goof around in his class. He treats them with respect and has high expectations of every kid and they respect him back. If only there were more teachers like him. [/QUOTE]
