If the answer is still no, then I’ll leave it. There’s no harm in trying.



There is no harm in YOU trying. There is plenty harm in having your mother try and achieving the reputation that your mom comes in to save you.

If, indeed, this is a problem with the teacher overall, and she really is incompetent and shouldn’t be teaching, then true leadership consists of mobilizing the students and presenting concrete evidence of the teacher’s incompetence to the powers that be – not having mom give you a special note out. In my workplace, I would not be impressed by someone who identified a problem, and then their action was just to move away from the problem and let it be other people’s problem.
