Honestly can't be dealing with my head getting chewed off for only reading 200 of the 600 pages of my book. What's more, I've understood none of the recent chapters at all, and the narrator told readers in one of those chapters that they have to understand that part to be able to appreciate the rest of the story. Joy.
What I would do, is just say you spoke to other English teachers, and that it is your honest opinion that the absence of the Head of Department is having an effect on the standard of learning, and thus your English teacher pushing the kids extra hard to fill in the hole left by her is having a negative effect on the kids. Or something along those lines.
I mean, I remember in Year 8 when we opened the refurbished library, and I was talking to a couple of staff within the English Department, as they had all showed up.
I was standing talking to Mrs Gibson (the Gibzatron) and Mrs Crampton (the Cramptonater), and we discussed how hard it was when a class was shared, as teachers sharing books and covering different topics at a fast pace wasn't the right thing for the students.
