A teacher is always a role model for his/her students, and it is his/her responsibility to indoctrinate students with the best principles and moral values. Students make their teachers their role models and always wish to have a personality like them. Therefore, teachers are responsible for behaving in a particular way and teaching the children best and most effectively.
Some teachers don’t act responsibly, which can lead to dissatisfaction among children and their parents.
When parents are not happy with the teacher’s performance and want to communicate their discontent with the school principal, they write a complaint against that teacher. This letter from the child’s guardians lets the principal know that the teacher the school has hired is not performing up to the mark and that actions should be taken to correct the behaviour.
In which scenario can the complaint letter be written?
Parents of the students can write the complaint when:
- They learn that the teacher’s performance is not good or that they are not teaching well.
- When the behaviour of the teacher is not satisfactory or professional.
- When parents realize that the teacher’s attitude hurts their child’s personality, they cannot learn anything from the teacher.
- The teacher does favouritism in the class and gives an inferiority complex to many students in the class.
How do you write against the teacher?
Complaints are always used as a tool to show dissatisfaction. People welcome complaints because they are the feedback they receive from their customers. At the same time, they try to ensure they mitigate the complaints because too many can pose so many problems. You should carefully select words and tone when writing a complaint against the teacher. Follow the guidelines below:
Try to remain respectful:
Even though you are writing a complaint, you can never disrespect your child’s teacher. Never criticize the personality of the teacher. Instead, only point out the behaviour or attitude that you did not like.
Give an introduction of yourself:
You must tell the principal that you are the parents of the child who is the teacher’s student, and you have witnessed what you are complaining about.
Discuss the matter:
You must discuss the teacher’s behaviour in detail, and if there is an incident to discuss, describe that one.
A sample letter of the complaint is given below.

Subject: Complaint against Ms. [X] for [Y]
Respected Sir/Madam,
I am writing to complain about Miss Sara, the subject teacher of grade IX. My son Richard is currently studying in grade IX. Before I start, I would like to tell you that I respect every teacher in this world, especially my son’s teachers. However, I am concerned about my child’s quality of education.
Recently, I visited the school, and I saw the teacher’s behavior that drew many concerns. The teacher was acting very rudely, and her tone was also very awkward. I believe that the teacher should always act sensibly with students because they observe everything and often follow the teacher. My child might learn to shout like his teacher, which is unacceptable to me at any cost.
I am writing to ask you to please talk to your teacher and ask her to behave at least in front of her students. I hope you will take this letter seriously and take the necessary actions so that the teachers in your school can sensibly improve their behaviour and act.
If you want to discuss this matter further, feel free to contact me at (mention your phone number).
Regards.
