[quote=Anonymous]I'd also add a word of encouragement to take this up before you move out, at least if individuals are yellers and it's not a full-blow school culture. The way you might be most successful in bringing this up is in a "positive" way. Just as you hopefully would with your kids, rather than pointing to what NOT to do, point to what you'd like to see more of. Yelling is indeed a poor classroom management (and parenting) style. But "don't yell" will not make that classroom any better unless the teacher is given better tools to induce and reinforce wanted behavior. Maybe seek out a conversation with your principal so he/she explains to you (or at a meeting) more generally what the school's classroom management model is (what do classroom rules look like, are they consistent, is there a school-wide model, does that model apply in open spaces such as hallways, cafeteria etc.). If you get a better idea of whether there are expectations and what those expectations might be, it'll be much easier to help identify what that specific teacher should do more of in lieu of "yelling".[/quote]
