Teachers are suppose to clairfy the lessson for their student and if this particular one cannot do that, especially if some of her student are trying to get some clarification then obviously the teacher has issues with the way she is teaching her class. You need to bring this up with her, tell her the issue and possible solution and if that doesn't work, the prinipal needs to be notified of the problem.

Yes, you need to take this up with your daughter's teacher. If she proves to be unresponsive/unhelpful when it comes to the criticism, make arrangements to discuss it with the principal. Most likely, you won't actually talk to the principal, just one of the assistants. But don't be afraid to take it as far as the principal. Try and mobilize other parents if possible--several of you is more helpful than one when going to the asst. principal or principal.
If this lady's teaching does not improve after conferences with her and her supervisors, and you find her supervisors unwilling to help, also do not be afraid to write a letter to your schoolboard and the editor of your local paper. This lady's teaching style is unacceptable, and every teacher, regardless of how long they've been in the business, must always be willing to accept criticism. Unfortunately, education is one of those fields where people who are bad at their jobs get to stick around.
