Subject: Does anyone else have a teacher with a toxic lapdog parent?

People have tried talking to the teacher about toxic situations in the past but the teacher chooses to put on blinders. After the fact they acknowledge that there was an issue but they tend to be oblivious while these people create drama. This is the parent who is always available to do whatever the teacher needs but they seem to feel this gives them the right to act like they own the school. My dancer is tired of the favouritism being shown along with being in fear of being the next target for the gossip mill. We are worried that if we try talking to the teacher about this parent, the parent will cause more issues for is. Everyone is scared to say anything because no one wants to be the next target.
Is it like this everywhere? Will we just wind up in a different toxic situation? My dancer just wants to go to class and dance.
