May 24, 2008
A teacher in my grade was told yesterday she was going to be moved to teach a 2nd grade next year. The principal gave her no choice in the matter. She has taught 4th grade for 10 years, and 1st for this past year. In her end of the year evaluation, the principal was very nice and said she has worked hard this year to do what was necessary to beef up her discipline and teaching. Then out of the blue a week later, she's told she's had parent complaint and robbed the students of a year. She doesn't want to change grade b/c she feels next year she will be ready for the challenges facing student in first grade after getting one year under her belt.
