[quote=Anonymous]Unless it was an extreme situation, my kids' elementary school principal would ask if you'd already spoken with the teacher as soon as you start to complain about him or her.

We had a situation once where I already had a meeting with the principal scheduled, and I brought up an issue I had with dd's teacher then, before I discussed it with the teacher. The teacher was horrible, and 8 families wound up pulling their kids out of that school in the spring because of her. Anyway, I told the principal I hadn't discussed the situation with the teacher yet, but I wanted to give her a head's up in case the situation wasn't resolved. I explained the problem, told her my desired resolution, and asked for any input she had to help me resolve the situation. She agreed that my expectations were reasonable and said she was supportive. The teacher hit the roof and basically said she was washing her hands of my DD after our conference, so I was happy to have already spoken with the principal. [/quote]
