Why are you even talking to the school, get your butt to the top of the Board of Ed. You know the saying "the sqeaky tire gets the oil"? If you dont get onto these people, the school will try to push it under a rug. Go to the top and start yelling!!!!!!

I absolutely hate it when my teachers are unprofessional. They sit around with their feet on the desk wearing flipflops and sweatpants and drinking a Coke. They just yell orders, make threats, etc, but nothing happens. Basically I hate it when the class is a joke.

wow...scary..I am amazed...this cannot be a security issue can it?  My boy's high school has the same rule and of a crowd of 100 or so during a meet the teachers day (I took off an hour from work and came straight there) the principal singled me out in the back row and said that hats were not allowed...i think he expected me to immediately take it off, but i just looked at him...if he taken the issue any further i would have walked out...this is a small town.\n\nI searched for the Saginaw michigan police department site and sent them an e-mail saying how manly they were for bringing violence to this terrible hat wearer.\n\nI'll agree that the man was tassered for resisting, but the police officer had no right to touch the man in the first place.  If it was a security issue, like hiding a gun or something...he could have hidden a heavy pistol a lot easier in his pocket,,,it cannot be aa security issue...but whatever, it should have at least been explained bvefore the officer grabbed the man's possessions and person

Hi! I live in S. Jersey, but we are about to move to Rockville, MD.  I know for a fact that in Pennsauken on Route 130 there is the Cerebral Palsy School.  I think you should start there. You didn't specify what part of NJ you were interested in, but I hope this info helps you. From my friends that are teachers, most state that their salaries are based on the area.

There are no websites that have that info due to privacy issues. Your best bet is to check local papers or try to contact a parent within the ditrict the teacher was fired from. \n\nDistricts do not usually tell the "Next"  district why they fired the employee. They are just usually happy to get them out of their establishment. Not a happy or healthy situation for our students.

Not enough information to give a good response.  If you described the situation we might be able to better understand where the problem is - is it with the teacher, or is it with you?

report this teacher to the principal or a higher person in the district.  unless they are licensed to in the appropriate field, they have no grounds for making medication recommendations.  this is a serious situation.  but in some cases, some teachers really do know what they are talking about and have had so many students that the signs are obvious and they are just looking for the best interests in their students.  if you have concerns, get the kid tested and take it from there.

Does she have a union?  Check it out with the union rep.\n\nOtherwise,  is she being terminated because of pregnancy, or is there an underlying issue that they are using?  In most schools, you cannot be terminated unless you have had unsatisfactory ratings for 3 observations, have been put on an improvement plan and haven't improved.  \n\nIf she doesn't have tenure, she can be dismissed easily.

Student-teachers, but a lot of the time it's public humiliation.\n\nMy history teacher told a student to stop fiddling around and take notes the other day. "Maybe if you do," he said, "you'll do better in my class."\nI think that was completely uncalled for and I'm sure the kid was embarrassed. Grades are between students and teachers and should not be discussed or hinted at. Sorry, it still bothers me.\n\nOh, yeah. We also have a few 'slow classes' that help people with a learning disability or otherwise. But I think that's about all.

My alma mater is IUP - Indiana Univ of PA.  It's about an hour outside of Pittsburgh and actually started out as a Normal School for training teachers.  They have a great program!  check it out www.iup.edu

What you can do about the problem is be politically active and vote.  But, as a teacher I hope you don't convey your negativity on to your students.  Don't send them out in to the world angry at the US and the government.  And you better believe candidates are checked.  No political party will put thousands to millions behind a candidate without knowing their past.  Rich daddy's backing their kids....you would too.

It's very unlikely that the board has its own website.  If it does it should be linked from your school's website.  You don't mention at all what "issues" you are referring to.  If this is something that may involve a violation of law, your best bet is to have an attorney contact the school administrators.  If it's not something that warrants a lawsuit, once you've exhausted the entire chain of command (up through the superintendent), you next step would be to call the board president and ask to be placed on the agenda for their next meeting.  All board meetings are public, and at the very least the public must be afforded an opportunity to express their views.\n\nHave you attempted to resolve this with the teacher yourself?  Unless it is actually a legal issue (in which case you should have gone straight to your lawyer), you'll almost certainly make more progress by dealing with it directly rather than going around the teacher to people who really don't know the exact situation.

Absolutely not.  Teachers are human beings and they make mistakes, too.  However, teachers, like anyone else in authority, do command respect.  In my humble opinion, his "being rude" as you refer to it was not justified under any circumstances.  When he reacted in that way, he destroyed any credibility that may have been built as a result of the powers-that-be finding out that he wasn't the one smoking.\n\nThere are established methods for dealing with injustices, whether in school, in the workplace, or in government.  This can be a positive learning experience for your son still.  Your son needs to be conscious of them and put them to use when necessary.

Yes.\nThe problem is that we are all scared as children, and now that I am an adult I see how wrong and rude some teachers were/are.\nTell your Principal exactly how rude she is and what she said. Tell her that this is a valid complaint and if she doesn't rectify this kind of behavior that you have no choice but to speak to the Principal's Superintendent!\n\nDon't be afraid, nothing can happen to you. But do not attempt this if you are a trouble maker and have a documented history of your behavior as it will backfire on you.

Teachers have a union and I expect they would be glad to help him.  I think it would be highly unfair to punish a teacher for defending himself (would they punish a female teacher who was being sexually assaulted on school property by a student if she fought back).  Of course schools are political so who knows what someone might do.\n\nIt is too bad the student was not disciplined.  I am not in favor of out of school suspensions except in extremely henious situations, but this would have been a perfect time to make his punishment to help out that teacher every day for a period of time at school.  Just the kind of thing that can change a students whole life around.\n\nPlease let us know somehow what happens.  I will keep you all in my prayers.
