[quote=Anonymous][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]

So nothing has changed but they made you feel better? Mmkay. [/quote]

Yup.  It took three days for the principal to get back to you because principal and teacher had to form a communication strategy for the crazy parent who complains about things that are likely largely out of the teachers control.  Because this is totally not the first time said crazy parent has complained about such things.  All while principal and teacher could have been addressing concerns that they could control if they had time to do so (instead of dealing with this crap).  I'm glad you got flamed on here, OP.  [/quote]

I would like to think the teacher and principal worked together but, more likely, the teacher got thrown under the bus and now has more incentive than usual to  seek employment elsewhere.   [/quote]

This!!!! But someone like OP will never acknowledge or admit that this is true. Teachers are not beneath you OP....they have families and circumstances just like you and me. This new mom is dealing with something you have no idea about nor is it your right to know. In your job I'm sure you are lucky enough to wrk from home when you're in a bind. TEACHERS CAN'T. You seem to lack empathy and concern for others and now you are whining because people on DC MUM gave you a difficult time :roll: [/quote]
