[quote=Anonymous]OP here.  Again, pardon my remaining obscure about details, but to the other poster who may very well be in my exact situation, I have made a call to our principal's boss.  I found this person (who I am not going to name here because it would reveal the school I am talking about) by calling the Superintendent's office and asking who my principal reports to.  I have been trading calls with this higher-up for a week and have yet to speak to him directly, but I plan to give him chapter and verse.

So to the other poster worried about a teacher who seems seriously impaired, I encourage you (and any other concerned parents you know) to elevate this.  I have been making it clear all along that I am not complaining about the way our principal is handling the situation (in my opinion he is doing what he can with the hand he's been dealt) but rather making sure that he gets all the support from the school district that he can.

I have also made it clear to the principal and his immediate subordinate that I will be calling them regularly to find out what the status is and what supports they are providing to students in this teacher's classes.  I have a note in my calendar to do so next week and I am going to try to stay on it every two weeks or so.  I encourage you to do the same.  They need to know that the parents are not going to shut up about this after the initial round of complaints.[/quote]
