Education

But even the best teacher is ineffective without backup from administration. Last year at the old school, if something happened during lunch recess, teachers were never informed and I never knew what happened unless my son told me. It changed after I got on the principal's ass. But still, nothing changed at all unless I dragged them kicking and screaming.

Yesterday at the new school, the teacher sent me an email attached to the principal and Dean of Students. The Dean and teacher talked to me as soon as I arrived to pick up my son. They informed me that they were meeting the parents and issuing a written warning. And, as I mentioned, the teacher asked the students to make cards expressing their regret over what happened and support. The old school made us feel like we were on our own. This school seems to have our back.
