[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I emailed them re a issue I had with a teacher, and she CC THE TEACHER, THE Teacher replay to the  email.... IS she allowed to do this? [/quote]
The principal is demonstrating that they don't want to hear complaints about teachers, and if the parent complains they will reveal their identity immediately to the teacher.

How the principal could have handled it better:

1) The principal should have first privately replied to the parent inquiring if the teacher can been made aware of the concern and if so how many times.

2) Principal should have then approached the teacher privately, verified the facts, and only then loop the parent in as needed—possibly with the parent's consent.

3) When the parent brings up a concern with the principal, the expectation is that the administration will handle it discreetly, not immediately copy the teacher and reveal the parent’s identity. This can lead to awkwardness or retaliation concerns, and may discourage parents from speaking up in the future.

+1. The principal needs to be reprimanded by the Asst. Superintendent.[/quote]

I can assure you that will not happen

Principal may get written up but it’s if this was a one off incident (we don’t know) then they won’t get a reprimand.

I’m going to assume you actually know the difference between a stern disciplinary warning and an actual letter of reprimand because they are extremely different

I should know I had three reprimands in my HR file. Not exactly a badge of honor (nor am I saying it with pride) but I can definitely tell you how far down the line you have to be to get one is more my point. [/quote]
