Secondly I want my child to get a basic education that prepares them for college, and life in general. That’s enough math, english and science in my opinion.

Third I want and expect that my child should be able to go beyond basic and into advanced subjects in High School, or be able to take other courses if they’re ready.

From the teachers I expect knowledge of the subject, respect from the teacher toward the children (my kids are taught respect for the teacher), and enough hard work so that they have every opportunity to learn the subject.

I’d like for the teachers to be able to be creative enough to teach difficult subjects in ways that make it easier to understand, and for them to understand it well enough that they can explain in more than one way so that kids that think in many different ways can all grasp the concept.
