[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 138952, member: 1991"] Also be prepared to go higher, if nothing happens. The principal has a boss somewhere. If it's a state school, there are district authorities. If rules are being broken, you can take it up with those who administer and set the rules. Sometimes teachers are unaware that there are rules; or they feel the rules are merely guidelines. Sometimes they know about the rules but don't value them because they think those rules are silly. Sometimes they try to ride roughshod over them (and students they don't like) because as teachers, they have power and they can - this last group should have been winnowed out in teacher training, but unfortunately never are. Give them the benefit of the doubt, do make sure you give the principal plenty of time to realise you are aware of the rules and expect them to be complied with. But if they don't, and you do nothing, they will know they can keep making it up as they go along and you will meekly put up with it. Good luck! Persevere. Marg [/QUOTE]
