[quote=Anonymous]Please keep raising the issue. At our private school we had a 4th grade teacher with anger issues. Parents complained for years. Some kids were able to say which words or responses from the teacher they felt most threatened by. The school hired a classroom assistant to help the teacher. The parents told the teacher and principal and the teacher tried to reform. The class was told they could say a special code word when they felt the teacher was losing self-control. That was suppose to trigger a timeout to defuse the sitation. But it put the kids in a difficult position. As smart or educated the teacher was, the anger and yelling were a deal breaker. After about 5 years she was let go.

A couple of years ago I had a friend who was a principal at a Mont Co elementary school in a wealthy neighborhood. She was dealing with a parent who was complaining about one of the teachers being nasty. My friend said she couldn't admit it to the parent but the parent was absolutely right about the teacher being out of line. All she could do was try to pass that teacher on to another school at the end of the year. So it happens in the best of public schools and in our private school. Sorry to be so pessimistic. [/quote]
