Great news AnnaMarie. It’s so bad at my daughter’s school dealing with a few bad teachers that some days it's not worth chewing through the straps. Most of her teachers are great though, but the few bad ones have been protected by their union for years, and the school does not allow a student to switch teachers once assigned, nor do they do anything about the bad teachers more than hope they leave on their own or retire.
I'm pretty sure this teacher is beyond retirement age.
And we've had no major complaints about any other teachers. In fact the day this all happened, my son went into his next class, gave the teacher a very brief explanation and asked for permission to leave the class saying he needed to "walk it off". She allowed him to leave, marked him present, and he walked off his anger.
