First-time principal in the swamp

A teacher accepts an acting principal position at a new school. It is a low decile school of about 400 students, with a bilingual whānau operating alongside the mainstream classes. There is widespread inadequacy in both the quality of teaching and learning and school systems and structures, including governance.

Who owns the problem?

A parent is always criticising the school, gossiping about teachers and other parents. At times she has had arguments with parents in the school grounds and on several occasions has directly approached children and told them off. She disagrees with the ways teachers are teaching her child and makes a formal complaint to the board.
