[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have no idea why people take the time to post nasty unhelpful comments. They are the ones who are bored and should mind their own business. Sheesh. OP, I believe you. Parents have seen over the top behavior at our elementary school, too. Rather than go to the teacher directly (children often BEG their parents not to do that because they report the teachers retaliate and call them out on it in front of all their classmates), it seems to work a little better going to the administration with concrete examples. If you don't think that will be helpful, you can approach your PTA officers and they might be able to help. Parents, students, faculty and administration all know who the screamers are. They may seem "popular," but I have found that it's because they are super nice to their favorite students, who just ignore the yelling because it doesnt apply to them. It just takes a few parents to question why on earth that kind of behavior is necessary. It is horrible to model that in front of students, especially when the party line is that children should treat each other with respect and kindness. The one other thing I would mention is if the teacher is inexperienced, she could be under a lot of stress, which might be adding to the problem. Like the snarky parents who post mean comments, the teacher needs to learn to self-regulate.[/quote] We, and at least 6 other families, pulled our kid out of a local Catholic school because of a yelling teacher. It was kind of the 'last straw' from a school that had a lot of inappropriate stuff going on, but the yelling was so bad the kids seemed to have ptsd - it was awful. Yes, the teacher WAS under a lot of stress. It was time to put her on leave and bring someone new in until she was under less stress but of course that was not done and the kids suffered. It was truly awful and we had no respect left for that school. Everyone who pulled their kids out that year seemed to have had kids who were placed in that unfortunate class and not in the other class (with a normalish teacher). Have a backbone and go in there to the principal and exoress how this situation is not acceptable. The principal at our kids school didn't care about the kids - she only cared about the teachers and not inconveniencing then with things like learning to teach or not abusing the kids.[/quote]
