[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. So the principal did call me and was very understanding about my concerns. She assured me that the teaching team meets every week to plan their agenda and every class is on track. She also talked about the lack of quality subs and how they are severely understaffed now. She wanted to facilitate a meeting between me and the teacher but I said that won’t be necessary. Today the teacher did reach out to me herself to schedule a conference if I have any more concerns. I guess the principal spoke to her. All in all, I’m glad I spoke to the principal and looking forward to talking to the teacher as well. I’m also glad my concerns were heard and nobody deflected or minimized my concerns as so many did here. [/quote]

The principal told you want you wanted to hear.  She’s clearly a good politician and got you to shut up.  [/quote]

Gosh so much animosity! All because I was concerned about my child’s quality of education. The principal discussed the issue with the teacher and wanted to set up a meeting. And then she talked to the teacher who reached out to me herself to address my concerns. Please stop being so upset. You are not under attack. [/quote]

Teacher here. I understand your concerns. I think you should have reached out to the teacher first vs going to the principal. I usually always email parents if I will be out with a general explanation ( not going into too much detail). All I know is a lot of teachers are struggling right now. So a new mom, during this climate is struggling even more. With that being said, the principal should try to give the kids as much consistency as possible. My school had a teacher leave and for a month they had two people alternating in the room till a long term sub came. [/quote]
