Teachers Thrown to the Wolves
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
A blog writer posted this under the Neace topic:
“I too have had a principal ‘throw me to the wolves’. I’ll spare you the details, but I learned very quickly that my prinicipal was more worried about the parent going to the board than he was about supporting his teachers. The child in question smirked and said where I could hear, ‘I got that teacher. All I gotta do is get my daddy to call and I’ll get what I want’.”
Can teachers do their jobs if the principal doesn’t back them up when a parent complains? Who is in charge of the school, the principal or the parents?
