DS' teacher for next year has for the past three years taken many months of school for depression related illness. This year she had to be replaced for a total of four months. I do not believe she is coping when she is "well". She is disorganised, too strict - bordering on aggressive and has made many of her current class of 7 year-olds not want to come to school. Quite a few parents have complained to the head teacher but she claims there is nothing she can do about it since it is a "performance issue" ie. this teacher achieves the grades expected. My DS loves learning and I don't want this to change. Is there anything the parents of this class year can do to get a different teacher? I do sympathise with this teacher - it must be a struggle to deal with depression - but how many years can this go on for?
