[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Great question! And I am a teacher. 1) Little or no sense of humor, and/or ability to laugh at oneself. 2)burnt out/uninspired/bored teachers. 3) Teachers w/ poor skills in communication, orginization, creativity. 4) judgemental teachers who are unable/unwilling to recognize their student's strengths. 5) teachers who focus more on their student's weaknesses. 6) those who do not differentiate their teaching styles/behavior management for individual students.7)those who simply do not care. 8) cold, uncaring teachers.....I could go on....[/quote]

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. [/quote]

Please please tell me: [b]how do these bad teachers keep their jobs?[/b] Don't they have an underperforming reputation, not only among parents, but also within the administration? We have all experienced these bad teachers, and yet, they still keep "teaching" our impressionable children. [/quote]

I wish I understood this.  The teacher I described earlier in this thread, who was throwing pencils across the room in a rage, is still teaching in the same private school to this day.  When I first spoke to him about the issue and then, getting no where with him, I went to the head of the school, we became known as "trouble-makers."  The head of the school took the teachers side and defended his actions. [b] It's difficult to understand[/b].[/quote]

simple. he kissed the head master's ass.[/quote]

What about in the public school system? How do these horrible teachers keep their jobs in a public school? Especially a public elementary school?[/quote]
