Welcome to the Vault Network forum archive.

This is not a complete archive, time didn't allot us the opportunity to properly backup the majority of the boards deemed "expendable". Most boards on this list have at least 20-40 pages archived (non-logged in pages, 15 topics per page).

Popular boards may have as many as 250 pages archived at 50 topics per page, while others deemed of historical signifigance may be archived in their entirety.

We may not agree with how the board shutdown was managed, but we've done what we could to preserve some of its history in lieu of that.

Topic: Gah, teacher's French is terrible...

	Sending my daughter to a French first language preschool since October. We just got her first little report card, and she's doing well, was great until I got to the part where the teacher writes in her own comments. So many mistakes, horrible spelling, grammar, all of it is terrible writing. I know I'm really picky about language, but a high school student should write better than this! I don't know whether I should bring it to the attention of the administration or not. Only a few months left, after all, and the teacher really IS great with my daughter... Gah. Frustrating! -----signature----- If you're flammable and have legs, you're never blocking a fire exit.

	I'd report her, honestly - if she's so terrible how is she going to teach your daughter the correct grammar, etc? -----signature----- Cluttered Desks and Ideas... Sisters Forever Susan Lynne Hall 1/20/69-12/21/05 Rest in Peace

	Well it's never going to get to the point of grammar and all that. She speaks it all right, to the level that she interacts with the kids, and talking to me is all right. It's just till she hits 4 years old and goes to the real school. Still disappointing though. -----signature----- If you're flammable and have legs, you're never blocking a fire exit.

	I'm going to send my child to a French school as well. If the teacher cant speak or write in French very well then it defies the purpose of sending your child to a French school to begin with. I would report her. I'm sure she's a great teacher, nothing stopping her from teaching in a regular school. -----signature----- I make people, what's your superpower?

	I would send the paper, corrected, to the principle. That's pretty darn bad. -----signature----- I am no longer young enough to know everything Knowledge is Free America's Libraries "You embrace that which defines you" "If you tell the truth, you don't need a good memory" We're not perfect...we're parents

I've already spoken to the rector at the school he'll be attending to ascertain how well English is actually taught/spoken/written. I've seen some English teachers here that yeah, they're bad - and I don't want Matthias getting taught that 'you don't got no' or 'ain't' are proper grammar. -----signature----- Cluttered Desks and Ideas...

None of these teachers have a formal education, this is just preschool, age 0-4. Well, depends on when they hit 4, they can start school at 4. They don't even really teach them more than rudimentary letter recognition, let alone writing. Her spoken french is fine, not perfect, but good enough for what she's there for. -----signature----- If you're flammable and have legs, you're never blocking a fire exit.
