In the school disrict where I work, a teacher got "in trouble" for doing something wrong, in terms of disipline. He humiliated kids, put them on the floor, and did weird things to them. One girl he did something to, called her mom, my friend and co-worker, right away. My friend marched into the superintendant office(attatched to our school), and he gave her the phone and had her call the principal at the school where this happened. The principal became angry at my friend and demanded to know how she got the number. Also, she told my friend that it's against our union rules to say anything negative about this other teacher because they both work in the same district. My friend said that she is acting as a PARENT now, and she was calling from the superintendants office. So, you can see how they protect their own-without even knowing the details. (But this behavior was common knowledge, in reality, to the other teachers.)This year he has tenure. He just got it with this contract.My easy child is in the grade, and school, this guy works. Last year my easy child never had a math teacher. They kept firing the ones they just hired, and he learned NOTHING! I mean it. I had concerns about things, easy child is in advanced math-and where will he be this year?..etc. and the principal NEVER ONCE returned my calls on this topic. I only called about 5 times all year. Now this school is just run so badly, but I want my child not to have this guy. I hate going into the guidance office and explaining -but I know they will switch him(only because I work in district). Really, I want to cause a big stink about this guy. His behaviors were all comfirmed, and he was on probation last year after this happened. Why does he still have a job? I had to get this off my chest. Thanks for "listening".-Alyssa
