I got a few emails following Tuesday’s post about teachers forced to change grades.

The teachers who contacted me mentioned a bigger problem — when principals fail to defend them, particularly when it comes to discipline. They cited incidents where principals seemed more worried about parents running to the school board rather than supporting teachers.

Teachers, do your principals back you up?

Parents, how often do you contact principals? Do you try talking with the teacher first?

Is this a problem in Rock Hill School District Three?
