[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here, just to provide more information the teacher amongst other things seems extremely paranoid; she gets anxious whenever she hears a helicopter overheard and starts vaguely talking about the government. She also is a big believer that we go to another dimension when we sleep and talks about that often instead of the subject she is meant to teach about[/quote]

But how is any of this scary? My teens would be mildly amused at the teacher's delusions and perhaps irritated that the teacher isn't giving them proper instruction. Right now, for example, one of my kids has a catastrophic AP science teacher who isn't teaching the material, and they're really worried about their grade and AP score.

If you are concerned that the teacher's paranoia may result in a psychotic break that could harm the students, you need to alert the Principal. Go directly to the top. The school needs to be made aware in an official manner.

Me again. I've known two middle-aged women develop paranoid delusions that turned into psychotic breaks. One of them had diagnosed bipolar disorder, which she refused to treat at one point (hence the spiraling) and I don't know what the other one had, but she sure had a mental illness! [b]Both left their work due to their delusions and lack of productivity, and later on, when they got worse, kidnapped their own children to "escape" and "protect" them. [/b]Police needed to get involved both times. What I'm trying to say is that this kind of stuff does happen, but usually workplaces are not the location where the break happens and this teacher could be far away from her breaking point. But you do need to warn the school.

In the meantime, please reassure your kid that yes, this teacher appears to be mentally unwell, but that she is not harming anyone right now and that you are keeping an eye on the situation.

Lol. Wow, both times, huh? What are the odds[/quote]
