Teacher forces really inefficient notes format. How can I respectfully fight this?

@skieurope Have you ever had to jump through the kind of note taking hoops the OP is talking about?

It sounds like a lot of wacky, anal retentive, control freak, busy work to me. I’d be pretty pissed off if my kids had to conform to something like that, especially in the latter years of high school when one could reasonably assume they’ve developed note taking skills by then.

In all my years of education and that of my two kids, none of us has experienced anything remotely close to this. Guess what? We’ve all done just fine academically. This stuff really rankles me (if you couldn’t tell :D).
