*shakes head* I totally sympathize with you, I can't figure out the "new improved" stuff either always drove me nuts tryin to help kids do homework and trying to show them the way the teachers wanted it done only to have both of us even more confused and no homework done.
We're having issues with my daughter's algebra teacher.
here's just the latest edition of algebra gone wrong.
Daughter just told me he "informed" them today that he's lost the grades for this half of the trimester and if the kids don't have the "hard copies" of their papers they'll get 0's...(most of which he hasn't handed back to them and said he doesn't want to re-grade them)
he claims he told them at beginning of year to save all papers..
he rarely uses real "paper" 95% of it's done on the computer so him telling them to keep their "papers" is kinda hard to believe as you can't save what you don't use.
And if he wasn't so engrossed with the football playoffs maybe he wouldn't have "deleted" the grades to begin with.
okies I'ma stop now before I rant any further..
