[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, every single school has one or more (hopefully not many) of these teachers.

If you're on child #2 or beyond, you actively work to make sure your kid doesn't get this teacher. If you are a newbie and unfortunately end up with him/ her, there is not a lot you can do about it, but you do get involved in the situation and get vocal if you have to.

Document and complain. Go to the division head with concrete proof about your points, not just accusations. Talk to parents of other kids in the class behind the scenes and encourage them to do the same. Most likely, you are right - the school will not do anything to help your child, but continued pressure on this situation may help another family/ kid in the future.

And in the long run, don't worry about it. Chances are your kid will have mostly amazing teachers throughout his/ her time at this school. One bad apple won't sink it all,[b] although unfortunately, we've had the experience of a teacher so bad that she effectively killed my DC's budding interest in the subject. [/b][/quote]

This is what I'm worried about.  I've seen that happen in the past and then cause 'anxiety' in the future in that subject.  If it's a 'foundational' course it's really bad since the subsequent courses build off of what should have been learned well/solidly in the base course.[/quote]
