I attended a parents/teacher meeting at Alina's school this week. She has a new teacher. Again. The first one took off in the end of March on maternity leave, the substitute resigned two months into the job, and now we'll see how long this one lasts. Sigh.
Naturally, all the parents are worried about all these changes because obviously it interrupts and causes glitches in the children's learning/school year. Alina's still bedazzled by the newness of everything, and since she's a couple of grades ahead of the rest of the kids she doesn't suffer the scholastic lacks that the others do.
I've been trying to get ahold of the [elementary] coordinator to explain to her Alina's unique situation. Haven't had luck so far. She's unchallenged scholastically, yet I don't want her to change grades because she's not on the same level emotionally as the 3rd and 4th graders. She's as tall as the older kids, but she's still just a big kid.
I know that running a school the size of the one she goes to is quite complicated, but it's pretty frustrating that they can't get someone who will do the job needed to the best of their ability. Sigh again.
