The thing that pleases me most about my child's teacher is...

If I could change one thing about my child's teacher, it would be...
Si podría cambiar un aspecto del maestro de mi hijo/a, eso sería..

1. Lo que me gustaria que le diera mas tarea y me hicieran saber en que grados necesite ayuda.
   I wish that he gave him more homework and told me in what grades he needs help.
2. That she would teach 1st grade so that my child could have her for another year.
3. Nada.
   Nothing.
4. Un poco más fuerte con los niños que se porta mal. Los niños estan capacitados para avanzar más, pienso que van muy despacios en el apredizaje.
   A little more strict with the children who behave poorly. The students are capable of advancing further. I think they are going a slow in their learning. Ä
5. No cambiaria nada, es muy buen maestro.
   It wouldn't change anything, he's a good teacher.
6. Nothing.
7. To learn more and get ahead.
8. Nothing.
9. Actually, the problem is not the teacher, but the lack of resources available for a more propitious environment and a more accessible class.
10. Nothing. She's been the teacher for both my daughters and they did learn very much and other students that I've babysat, too.
11. To be honest, I was more happy with (the other teacher). I think she was a very good teacher, my son always had homework to do, every day. This new teacher never gives homework, until the other day when I sent a note requesting homework for my child, so she did. But just for two days. So I'm not really happy with her. The other teacher was a little strict but to me she was a good teacher.
12. That she would let children express themselves and listen to their emotions and expressions and not label the children.
