Are teachers disrespectful online and does this reflect their behavior in our classrooms?

Question

I am posting questions in order for some logical teachers to respond but I am receiveing some answers that are unethical by those that claim to be educators. It makes you wonder if these type of behaviors are normal in our public classrooms across America. Even when I write poorly constructed sentences, I am being called names. I don't know if any parent would want their child subjected to any type of belittlement by a public educator. We are all adults at least I hope that some of us will take the time to understand what it means to be an adult. And all the more a public educator. I just ask if you don't have anything educated and positive to respond to any question the reflectives the well-being of our children and their future in our public classrooms go and reflect on something that gives you ethical judgment and appropriate problem-solving suggestions on how to answer question. To all of those that are really teachers I understand the pains that you are going through.

Answer 1

First, I think that sometimes those who respond are not really teachers.

Second, I feel that often the internet gives a sense of a different identity. I think that often people will say things that they would not really say to someone in real life. They forget that there is a real person on the other side reading the response and perhaps feeling insulted.

Lastly, I believe that there are actually teachers that are like that. I work with 1 that is like this. She is mean and rude and does not understand that she affects a kids life and when she calls them stupid while only inches from their face it is humiliating.

Do not take it personally. Most times people who must insult others do it because it is the only way that they can make themselves feel good. They have low esteem and can only feel better about themselves by making someone else look small.

Answer 2

Have you considered that the reason people are being disrespectful to you is that you are disrespectful of them. You reap what you sow.

I looked at your profile and it is painfully obvious that you consistently write questions that allude to the fact that you believe that public school teachers are uneducated and worthless. More so you seem to focus on the belief that women are to blame for this. Are you truly surprised then when people, especially female public school teachers, are upset with your posts?

I looked at the question you asked before this one. In it you had spelling, grammar and punctuation mistakes. Yet you then go on to insinuate that men like you would do a better job teaching than a woman.


You state that the people who answered you should not be teaching because they answered you in a way that would not be sensitive to a child’s needs, but YOU ARE NOT A CHILD. You are an adult who theoretically wants to raise the level of education in the country.

If you are truly interested in helping the children in this country, then I suggest you stop pointing fingers and start studying the problems. You would be surprised to find out that although not all teachers are good, often the problem is not entirely their fault and the solutions are not as black and white as replacing female teachers with males.
