I am a tutor that works with highschool and college students. Do you have any idea how often I find out the reason why a student is struggling with new material is because 10 years ago they missed something very important and the concepts that they don't understand have been piling up ever since because of that? If you guessed "depressingly often" you are correct. You cannot teach new material if the foundation of knowledge and skills it is based on has cracks in it.
Shouldn't you report that to the head of school?
He should be able to know in which grade that topic should have been teached.
And then slap the corresponding teacher on the wrist for not doing their job correctly?
I tutor remotely which means I get students from all over the country and outside of it. It would be infeasible for me to track down every school that failed them and personally inform them of that. I do what I can to fix things but it is a lot like trying to put out the sun by firing a squirt gun at it.
Oh I see.
Still thank you for teaching the next generation.
It's under appreciated,
but oh so important work that you're doing,
keep it up! :)
