[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, that's a super response/rebuttal.  It comes down to the principal.  Either the principal cares or doesn't, and then that sets the tone for the whole school.  Like I said earlier, if you can't trust the principal, get out of there.  The person to whom you wrote the rebuttal is probably in fact a principal.  In my case, the parents got an email from the principal talking about responsive classrooms and how to love your child; I read it and said to myself well that's cool, whatever.  Then the room parent replied to all saying what we're talking about here is intense violence in the classroom.  So I'm done with DCPS, because no one in an administrative capacity all the way up the food chain  gave a hoot.  The teacher quit and moved away.  Not the way to run a railroad by mistreating children and teachers.  Not the way to say, "We care about kids." - NOT.  No innocent child should ever have to leave a school in favor of the bully; but that's DCPS on Capitol Hill.[/quote]

The "bully" in this case was a four-year-old boy.  While they were slow to act, DCPS eventually assigned an extremely competent full-time aide to him, among other measures.

And while I don't dismiss that the problems that happened during the year may have been a factor, the teacher gave birth to a SN kid, became a full time mom as a result, and opted to move closer to family.[/quote]
