[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We get surveys about "school climate" and so on, but why don't parents get a chance to review teachers?  One of my children has one now that is not doing a good job.  There isn't any way to raise this. [/quote]

You can always raise this with the division head and the head of school.

The parent peer groups are also a good place to share concerns with other parents and see how widespread they are. At least in LS the parent facilitators typically send the division head a brief summary of issues that were raised. And if you find that many people share your point of view, it is easier to make your case to administrators.

The chats with principals are not the place to discuss individual teachers, but you can voice concerns about teaching style, communication, classroom management, homework load in a way that can both promote a broader discussion and build a stronger foundation for a private discussion.

Norwood has issues, but I don't think lack of channels for communication is a major one. And both the LS head and head of school are very approachable.
