Has a teacher ever acted inapropriately to you or your child at school?

Question

Do you believe that a teacher can never act inapropriate to you or your child in any situation or in any way? If so why? If not why not? Have you ever experienced anything in a school system or from a teacher that you found offensive or discriminatory towards you or your child? Can you tell us about that? What do you think should have been done differently?

If it is in fact the schools fault then it is the schools fault, I hate to disagree with you that none of it is the schools fault, all teachers and school personnel are not great some are.

Some of them you could not give them all the gold in the world and pay them for what they are worth. Then there are a lot of good parents, and some that do bad things too.

I do think that it is the mandatory school industry that is at fault in a lot of things and I think that John Gatto's book The Underground History of Education is to the point and great and he was NY teacher of the year and yet he was blacklisted and stuff for his ideas and his teaching skills and thoughts on that.

So we can stick up for the teachers if we want to, but what is wrong is still wrong no matter who does it or how it is done. Wouldn't you agree?

And so my "friend" you are in a position to do that, but think of the parents that are not, that is one of the problems that there are some parents that are not in a position to speak up or out for their children. They are oppressed and discriminated against and have little valuable resources to make things different for themselves. Even here we have some issues and I will not speak against them. Everything has its day though. I guess one thing I have learned is patience.

Answer 1

Yes, this has happenned.
I teach my child to handle the internal conflict that he/she is experiencing.
We take a wait and see attitude, and try to make it through one day at a time...never knowing what to expect...ready for anything.
The zen of self defence...is that people can only hurt you if you grant them your permission.

Answer 2

well, i was returning from the cafeteria. and these boys were sitting on the stairway studying something and this teacher was hovering over them. a guy copied or talked, and the teacher "kicked" the guy and toppled over a few steps- he wasn't hurt , but that brutal and inhumane! you have to respect other human beings. Well, i really wanted to do something about it, make it public perhaps, report to higher authorities. But the teacher had a brain surgery and very few people survive them and he needed the money to pay back the health loans and stuff. And he's a little crazy according to me. it's pathetic. People go around with an idea that teachers are highly-placed and are never flawed. that's a misconception. i heard of a kindergarten teacher, molested her own students- kindergartners! they are gullible and don't know about these stuff. it is plain pathetic and perverted. The kindergartner should have been sent to rehab and jail, probation for 10 years and should have got 2 years of community. that's what i call a (fill in a really bad word). and there are teacher who don't identify that some children have 'ticks' due to some syndromes and sometimes they're racial and partial.

Answer 3

I am a Parent and I am a teacher. As a teacher I have seen several situations where teachers have acted in an innapropriate way. Two of those times resulted in the termination of their teaching certificate. One of those teacher had medical issues and she was asked to retired early (I heard). As a parent I have also seen a few incidents at my child's school. One time a girl slap a boy for calling her a Wh*** and when she told the teacher, the teacher said, good job, I am proud of you!...lol Funny but not appropriate.
It does happen, If it is illegal I report it.

Answer 4

I never experienced it, but it goes on a lot. I had a cousin who was inappropriately touched by a male 8th grade teacher and she was too scared to tell her parents. Which may or may not have been the best because my Uncle would have probably killed the teacher and ended up in prison. However, the teacher died before my Uncle ever found out. But all students should tell an authoritarian figure if something like this goes on. And if it's happened to you, please tell someone.

Answer 5

I am a teacher, and I personally try to always act appropriate. I mean, if a teacher is being rude or disrespectful, then they shouldn't be there. I have had parents I didn't like, students I didn't like, but you keep that **** to yourself. You provide the child with your services. I think sometimes teachers don't even know they are doing it.

Answer 6

I have been lucky. None have acted inappropriately to mine. Of course, if they ever did, the school board would never know it. My response would be a good old fashioned east Texas a.ss whipping!

Answer 7

I agree that instructors are function fashions, in spite of if that is not any longer reasonible to hold them to the comparable standards as clergy (an incredible lots of whom have secrets and techniques of their very own and are not above repraoch). on a similar time as I agree i ought to attempt to help my scholars become efficient, ethical voters, the burden of coaching ethical habit would not relax totally on me. i'm no longer advocating partying/combating or being a lapdancer, yet I additionally don't think that I ought to stay domicile and knit. it is in the main the father and mom who ought to be placing the occasion if we might like our babies to be stable adults. I tell my scholars for all time i'm bowled over that they bypass out and social gathering all weekend, as all are decrease than age. yet guess what, they tell me their father and mom do no longer care as long as they do it at domicile. I actual experience that if what a instructor does isn't delivered into the lecture room or places themselves or every physique else in harm's way, then it is going to no longer be an argument.

Answer 8

I am getting sick of irresponsible parent going on a which hunt against teachers. Parents take no owner ship for their child's misbehavior but put all the blame on the school(system) and it's employees.

Answer 9

no
