Primary & Secondary Education - October 2006

I'm surrounded by teachers. My side of the family has produced a lot of teachers and my wife's side of the family has produced a lot of teachers - and none of them seem qualified, well-suited or mentally capable/stable to teach - and yet they're all in classrooms. It feels as though they're all just hidding out, passing time or too lazy to find what really interests them in life. I'm wondering if this is the primary reason our educational system is in such disarray.
And yes, all my relatives who are teachers are paid well and no I don't hate teachers and yes I did well in school. It's just that I have two kids in school and it scares the daylights out of me.

Are the parent's of a child entitled, by law, to gain any information they require about their child and the environment their child is in (as long as that information doesn't involve another student, b/c it would break the other childs right for privacy)? I had a questionnaire I asked for the teachers and principal to fill out so I can better understand the structure of their school, the environment my child is in, and how my child responds to different situations in that environment. Is it legal for the principal to just decide for the teachers to not give me that information? I read some of the laws, and it sounded like I was entitled to the information I desire to have.... anyone know this one??? =) Thank you!

I went into 9th grade taking all honors classes but i got a lot of B's. Now I am in 10th grade and I have a few more A's and a few more B+'s. My weighted GPA right now is 5.01. If I maintain these grades with many AP and honors classes, what kind of colleges could i plan on getting into? Can I still get in to a really good college despite my not so great grades from 9th grade?

How can podcasting be used in the classroom?
