Are you prepared to quit over this issue?

If so, do everything within your legal rights. Take the issue to the school board, and take it to your local newspaper as well. Spread the word that this is happening.

The school board needs to know how your admins are performing.
Other teachers need to know that this could happen to them.
Parents need to know that their kids are getting the shaft.
Kids need to be informed, and they can choose to be a force on their own.

Go up the chain in the most professional manner you can handle.

Good luck!

Edit: Just saw that you don't want to quit. Still think the issue needs escalating, just more delicately.

i'm just a guy who teaches high school. it is not worthy of media attention.

the principal and TAP ARE the administration. the board would never get involved, as it is the job of the administration to deal with these issues.

other teachers know that there is a [censored]-job going on in the science department, but there is not much they can do.

getting rid of bad teachers is not easy. once one is tenured, there is TONS of red tape to go thorugh to get of them. you can't just fire them, as the union is a big bully.

Once those schedules get set, how much do they change in the following years? How badly do the other 2 teachers need to perform in order for you to pass them next year? How about the year after that? Once they get 3 years in those classes, where do you stand?

Hey, I don't care if you teach the freshman class for the next 10 years. But if you stand up for what you believe, you can teach your students a more valuable lesson.

Sorry, tough deal...good luck.
