last year, I went to a school with uniforms. I personally think It's better with uniforms because it does eliminate social class. It also helps us not be late in the morning because everyday you know what you are going to wear to school. In my new school there are no uniforms. I take almost half and hour more to decided what to wear increasing the chance of me being late. I personally think schools should switch to uniforms. It help with elimination of social class, gangs, and bullying because you can't tell where someone is from or if they are rich or poor.

Sit down with the Principle of the school and discuss the problem.  It is in the school's best interest to find resolution to the problem, plus they have information that can help bring the matter elsewhere should the problem persist.

If you have spoken to the principal and a representative at the central office I would next go to a school board meeting and sign up to be on the agenda. Most school board meetings are public and have a sort of open mike portion where parents and other community members can be heard. If that doesn't work I would call the State Department of Education and find out who investigates unprofessional practice in schools. In my state it is an independent commission called the professional practices commission and a link to it is required by law to be on the front page of the State Department of Education Web Site. Good luck. The other advice you have been given is pretty good too. Another important resource is the Office of Civil Rights (OCR) of the Federal Department of Health and Human Services. They will take you very seriously.

This is a cooperative effort. BOTH parents and the school need to have open communication with this issue and stay on top of it consistently. The child needs to feel comforable enough with both sides to share whatever issues he/she is having and then the three sit down and try to resolve the issues/conflicts that are occurring. The key words here are consistency and communication between the three:parent school and the child.

talk to your counselor or school administrator.  If the teacher is aware that others are aware of an interpersonal dynamic, shell be less likely to put it on display.  Id take the additional step, if necessary, of calling a meeting with the parent and the principal.  The comment she made in front of the class certainly puts her in a tenuous position.  Id take another student in to verify she made the comment and then put her on the spot by having her explain it.

As a principal myself, I know that what you say can happen.  I have worked with principals who were on a power trip of some kind.  \n\nIf you really feel that you are being treated unfairly, be sure to keep documentation of what the principal is not supporting you on.  If you are not a member of your state's professional teaching organization, I would recommend that you join.  Most state organizations will provide legal advice and even go with you to meet with the principal and probably the personnel director.\n\nYou may want to change schools if that is an option for you.  We are not all bad.\n\nOne last thing may be to do some self examination to see if there may be a grain of truth to what the principal is saying.\n\nAs educators we owe it to our students to be the best at what we do.  As a principal I owe it to students and teachers to work with teachers to help them reach their highest potential.\n\nHope this helps

You have good suggestions here,you can go with any or all of them. All I can say is don't leave this with the school\nadministration because they're more interested in keeping\nthings quiet than protecting your interests. You have to take action and be prepared-they won't thank you for it.

Talk with the principal immediately. It is completely ridiculous that your child should be left to suffer for the sake of the lowest common denominator. Fight on behalf of your child.

i wouldnt be worrying so much about grades, but the content.  if they are missing a lot of key concepts and ideas that are appropriate for that age level, something needs to be done.  im an educator in texas and we have spelling activities every week, cursive is taught in third, and science is all year.  but there is so much more to school than those few things.  from what you have said, it makes me wonder what else is falling through the cracks?  i would contact the school board, the district superintendants, and whoever else you need to get this resolved.  check up on required curriculum for the state and see if this school/class is meeting those.

Probably the best thing you can do is contact a local elementary school with a PPCD unit. Talk to the teacher there, she/he should be able to give you more information. Or eve try the local school district offices, they should have all the info. Good Luck!

Make then have a silent time lunch.\nTell the teacher to bring a conduct card to the lunch room.\nAsk the principal to stop by once in a while.\nHave a lunch detention room,but send one at a time.\nHave assigned seats.\n\n\nIf you have one or two rowdy students move them to a table by themselves.\n\nIt is possible that this behavior has never corrected,if so it will take some time to correct it.\nYou have to show them that YOU are  in charge,not them !\nWe are creatures of habit.\nGood luck !

Talk to your principal.  Usually these things can be worked out if either party is unhappy with the current situation.  Administrators and school boards don't want unhappy teachers.  They'd rather cut their losses and find a replacement.  Be honest about why you are leaving.  If there is a problem, it may very well be something your administrators were unaware of and can do something about in the future.

Talk to the director first. Tell her that it may harm children's respect to the teacher if she does that. \nIf it doesn't work, talk to the board members.\n\nBut before you do all these, secure the next job first in case it doesn't work out.
