Lack of professionalism from admin
I teach at a 6-12 school. I really love my principal, but I have some issues with my AP- especially her lack of professionalism. She really just wants to be buddy-buddy with the students, I've written up students she favors before and the referrals just disappear.
A couple of week ago, she brought a senior student in with her to observe my class. The student was essentially just being a scribe for her, and was writing down whatever my AP told her too. The issue was the senior student kept talking with my 8th graders, and I had to tell her to stop more than once. I went to my principal about it, mainly concerned that a former student of mine had access to my evals and could talk to other students about it.
My principal was very professional about it, she deleted the observation and said it wouldn't happen again. She apologized on behalf of my AP and said it was unprofessional of her. She also told me she had to talk to my AP about the issue, and to let her know if there was any form of retaliation. I had a question for my VP this morning, and when I went to ask she totally ignored me, like turned and walked away. May can't come fast enough.
