[quote=Anonymous][quote]The PP that pointed that the principal is a politician is actually quite correct. FCPS chooses principals who can manage parents and teachers. This usually results in someone who says one thing, but does another. Teachers fully realize this, but it usually takes parents many years.

OP, I would 1) send a follow-up email summarizing what you discussed so that there is a written record and 2) don’t just trust that the principal will actually do anything, you need to stay on it. Written record is very important![/quote]

The system listens to parents. You need to go higher up the chain. Go above the principal to a school board member or the instructional central office management. The principal will thank you for it. What needs to happen is a reorganization of the substitutes and coverage in schools. The principal cannot come up with money to hire a floating substitute at real teacher pay (which is what needs to happen). When I was in New York they had people hired for this purpose. They need to pay qualified subs what they are worth. Instead they get people who are just warm bodies and of course parents are not happy. [/quote]
