[quote=Anonymous]By the way OP's question is framed, including that senseless comment about the union, I think it's not clear to OP that it has become much easier to let go of an ineffective teacher, no matter how little or many years experience. Thanks in part to union support, the "proper procedure" is indeed now the evaluation process, the dreaded (or lauded whatever your viewpoint may be) IMPACT assessments. The principal is only one source of that process. Independent reviewers are an additional source. They conduct regular observations and assessments. Student progress also factors in, differently depending on grade level. As a parent, yes, you should lay out very clearly and in writing (and you should have done so much earlier) what the problems are. A "this is a terrible teacher" is not specific enough. Detail your complaints in terms of lacking effectiveness. And this is definitely all more credible and provides your principal with more leverage if it's not just you but if others write as well, all in their own words. If you suspect abuse of whatever kind, or have safety concerns, then that's a separate category; but you'll again want to lay it all out in writing so it can enter appropriate files, for the longer haul if needed because teachers may get passed around.[/quote]
