[BeAllYouCanBe]

Three teachers have been fired from this school this year.

This maybe good if the Principal has the power to really fire bad ones.

Tenure hasn't been mentioned on this thread but it is big problem.

The "teachers union" has been mentioned but let's face it the NEA is a really big problem.

I really did approach the school with the notion that my son might not be telling the truth about what happened. I caught the teacher lying to me and the Vice Principle withheld information and so now I'm ticked off.

When the issue started, we were told to contact the teacher. The teacher avoided our calls and emails. We made an appointment and he denied we had one. We received a phone message that stated "We couldn't drag this out forever" when we hadn't even had a conference with the teacher. We were subject to the Principle waving her finger in our faces with a scowl on her face stating "You have no right to withhold your son from detention", and we said we want a conference before we are willing to let that happen. They're protecting themselves, nobody in that school stands up for the students.
