    I don't feel that my sons teacher is making sure that he is getting the proper preparedness needed for entering the sixth grade.  I last recieved classwork in Ocy. of last year, no follow up from work that she tiold me he does not understand, no math homework, no consistent spelling tests, etc.  I feel firstly that she has no control overthe class and this is why the academic process is basically lacking.
