Dd is in Year 11 so sitting GCSEs soon and is doing Drama as one of her options. They had a great teacher in Year 10 who was excellent in teaching the GCSE course, putting on whole school productions of a very high standard and co-ordinating many different extra curricular Drama opportunities for all year groups.
Unfortunately she left last year and a new Director of Drama was appointed from last September. Dd and most of her peers realised quite quickly the definite drop in teaching standard. Dd said a lot of time was wasted in lessons, very little time was spent on the written paper so when they sat the mock in January, they didn't know what they were doing. I emailed a couple of times, both to the drama teacher and Deputy Head with specific queries but things did not seem to improve.
3 months after the mock, the teacher has not gone over the paper and questions and dd is still feeling unsure/confused about the written aspect.
Then a few days ago, dd told me there was a rumour he has been asked to leave. There is a vacancy on the school's own website for a Director of Drama from this September 2019.
There is very little teaching time left now until the exams and I agree with dd that every lesson counts.
Should I say anything to the school? Or do we just need to suck it up that they employed a poor teacher and they're now trying to get rid of him?
