[quote=Anonymous]If they're unwilling to intervene it means that they have tried, and failed, to find a better teacher for that class.

You should have had an in-person meeting with the Principal by winter break, OP, but it's not too late to suss out why they did nothing, and what they plan to do regarding cogent instruction for next year, since apparently the teacher is here to stay.

But can I say something? Your experience doesn't sound too bad, in the grand scheme of things. I've heard of language teachers leaving for the year and the kids getting a long-term sub that *could not speak the language*. Happened to my best friend's daughter at Sligo years ago. One of my kid's math teachers refused to give him all of his 504 accommodations and the school didn't lift a finger because it was during the pandemic, and only affected my kid. And so on and so on. In my kids' elementary, one teacher was a habitual yeller and she's still there, apparently.

Basically unless there's downright abuse or racial slurs... nothing is going to get done.

And yet, I still think MCPS does an excellent job overall. It's a large school system, with many cracks, but the overall level of instruction is vastly superior to most other public school systems, and for AP and post-AP classes, to most private schools.[/quote]
