[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you have a problem with a teacher, here is the correct chain of command before the principal:

1.) the teacher
2.) the resource teacher/dept chair
3.) the assistant principal who oversees the teacher's department
4.) the principal
5.) the director
6.) the associate superintendent
7.) the superintendent

If it's something the counselor can help with, i.e. the kid needs support or help talking to the teacher, contact them too. Counselors don't supervise or evaluate teachers, and they have no authority. They're an additional resource for problem-solving, not for complaints about teaching quality. They can flag an issue but that's about it. This also is true for the PTA--they can maybe exert pressure on people to respond, but they don't have any decision making authority.

The system is designed to make parents frustrated to the point of giving up.  This is why problems never get resolved. If it is a serious issue, and you have already reached out to the principal, you don't need to circle back and restart several notches lower.  Take it to the director and let him know Mrs. Heckert did not respond so you would like to set up a meeting with him.[/quote]
