Sounds like most of the kids are being spoiled brats and not wanting to get their work done (which results in bad marks). Just because a teacher has complaints from the students (especially like "she's mean" and "she gives us homework") is no reason to cause her to be fired.

Probably not. Complaints from the kids won't likely cause the teacher to lose his/her job. The administration needs to look into what the teacher is or is not doing and then the teacher may be put on probation, but they will likely not be fired. If you have valid concerns about the teacher's classroom policies or teaching style, talk to the teacher's supervisor and see if there is anything that can be done, but if it is simply that you don't like the teacher or that you don't understand the material, don't blame the teacher because you're not doing well in the class!

There are some bad teachers out there, but they do not get fired that easily. Usually schools do not listen until parents start complaining. Then they talk to the teacher and give him/her time to change the problem. It also depends on laws in the state and seniority. If a tenured teacher in California is to be fired it pretty much takes a ton of evidence and a court case. Non-tenured teachers can be fired easier. It usually takes a long time and history of repeated problems that the teacher has refused to change for a teacher to get fired.

The only reason there are bad teachers is because there are lazy principals. If enough parents complain about a teacher's performance, the principal will be forced to act. He can observe a teacher at any time, devise a plan to improve performance, and then move to dismiss the teacher through the tenure process. Yes it can be time consuming, but if an incompetent teacher is allowed to stay in place, the damage done to students can be significant.

Sorry. It's not a teacher's job to be liked by the students. His or her job is to teach students the subject at hand. If the students are getting bad marks, have them talk to the teacher about the problem so that the teacher is aware of where they are getting lost.

If the reason is strong enough & the authorities are good enough there are chances of the teacher being fired.But may be u will have to wait for the year to get over for a new teacher as it is lot of trouble to find a new teacher in the middle of the year

Sounds like the parents should be more involved. The parents should go to parent teacher conferences and see what the teacher's side of the story is. The parent can ask the teacher what he can do to help the student. The more the parent is involved, the more the parent can see who's the slacker, the teacher or the student.

It is an illusion that children can get teachers fired. Usually bad behavior and poor motivation of children soon encourages a teacher to seek employment in a better school. This means the education of weak schools deteriorates due to lack of stability. The weak schools effectively get worse and the decline is self perpetuating.
The only stackable offence is misconduct. In 35years I have only known one teacher ‘sacked’. In reality he applied and got a better job at another school

This is no reason to even try and get a teacher fired. Perhaps the students are unwilling to work? Why don't the students act with maturity and try to speak with the teacher concerned?

Ever heard of Ofsted or Performance Management?
Teachers are being conyinually monitored -if you're very unhappy I suggest you approach the Head of Department.
