How was your first half of the school year?

It is so hard to believe as we head into the holidays that the current school year is almost half way over.  It just seems like yesterday that we were buying school supplies and worrying about the teacher(s) our children would be having for the coming school year. 

And a good teacher vs a bad teacher in the classroom can make a HUGE impact on a child's progress for many years to come -- both good and bad.  Think back to your favorite teacher.  It's probably been years but you can still see their face, remember their name and how they made you feel -- wanting to do your best and having someone believe in your potential.  In many mentoring books and biographies about famous people, many mention that special teacher in their lives who helped them find their pathway of today.  Don't our children in the BSD deserve that as well.  Each and every one of them.  Do you feel like your family has received that level of service and professionalism as the first half of the year comes to a close?

Please share your stories and feelings about your child's teacher -- but no actual names.  You can give a school or grade level, but I'm looking for the characteristics and the actions that good and bad teachers are known for in order for us as parents to learn from each other.
