[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP is every teacher’s worst nightmare.  Too dumb to have a clue what goes on in the classroom, but more than willing to make vague “meh” editorials. We’ve all had that parent. Hopefully the new teacher has a good mentor to turn to.

Actually , I’m a teacher. Few decades in. Sometimes people should not be teachers. Other careers that people should really not default to law enforcement, psychologists OP[/quote]

You're a teacher?  And your evaluation is a "meh"?  Really?  With no support to validate your claim?  You're way out of line.

OP, I am guessing (hoping) that you are a new teacher.  Try to focus on yourself and avoid gossiping about your colleagues.  You have a lot to learn, and one of the things you will discover is that there are different teaching styles, and just because a colleague's style differs from your own does not mean they are "meh."  There is a certain "type" of busybody one encounters in education, the sort of woman who spends a great deal of energy watching what other teachers are doing and criticizing them behind their backs; usually this type of person isn't the best teacher herself and tries to compensate for poor understanding of her own subject matter by jostling for rank and popularity among others...including students.  Don't be that insecure jerk.

As for the "meh": you don't sound very bright or articulate.  As the previous poster indicated, you have given no examples to support your assertion.  I truly hope you are not an English teacher.

I don't understand what you mean by "meh" and neither does anyone else.  I would assume it means you feel your colleague is not excellent, but not terrible either.  That's how most people interpret "meh."  If this is the case, butt out.  If, on the off chance, your colleague actually IS terrible, admin will catch on.  I promise.  But you are doing yourself no favors if  you are gossiping about this colleague, and one thing you may have yet to learn about education is that admin will hear about what you are saying, and it doesn't make you look good.
