As a long-time teacher/educator, I agree with all that you've written. It is especially disturbing to see poor elementary school teachers because their students are with them for extended periods of time. In particular, have no tolerance for any teacher who humiliates and "shreds" a child for any reason. Those teachers should be required to go through additional training with subsequent observations on a frequent basis or forced to leave.
