My child’s teacher has no behavior system. She is new to fourth grade, but my daughter’s class is eating her alive. Parents at the school love her, but that was when she was an adorable Kindergarten teacher. The fourth grade kids are unruly and the teacher looks frazzled from 8AM till 2PM when the kids leave. In fact she looks frazzled till 2:30 when she is done with duty and she can’t control the kids outside either. It is only the third week of school and this just won’t work for me or my daughter. The classroom is becoming unsafe (kids are throwing things and everything, it is a disaster). I am volunteering in the classroom to try to help out, but even more so to keep an eye on my daughter. Is it time to go to the principal? Should I ask for a transfer or ask the principal to help this teacher get her act together?
Boy, you sound pretty diplomatic for a parent in the middle of a war zone. If the children are throwing things and you feel the environment is unsafe then the time to go to the principal was yesterday. Did you talk with the teacher about what you are seeing? What was her response? The principal will likely ask you to share your concerns with the teacher as well so that this person knows that the classroom environment is unruly. If you are willing to stick it out, I think you should stay in the classroom and hope that the principal can help this teacher with her management system. If you ask to move, that really doesn’t solve the problem.
