[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Principals suck. They will support their staff over a student/parent. I’ve rarely had a good interaction even if I was right.  [/quote]

Sure.  I bet you love it if your boss throws you under the bus.[/quote]

You do what’s right you don’t just support the teacher, the schools should be about the kids not like running a business. [/quote]

Maybe what's right is supporting the teacher?[/quote]

Why should the principal support the teacher in not updating the grade book?  A disciplinary issue where there could be differences of opinion I could understand, but updating the grade book seems pretty clear cut to me.

In the case of the OP, they admitted that they never reached out to the teacher and were unsure if their child did.  They also did not clarify if the issue was on time or late assignments. We also do not know what the timeframe is.  We do not even know if the teacher did anything *wrong* or if the OP just has unrealistic expectations.  Yes, when parents are being unrealistic and not being mature enough to contact the teacher directly (as was this case with this OP), the principal should support the teacher.  [/quote]
