How can an extremely mean teacher get fired as soon as possible?
341432
I've dealt with a lot of mean teachers and I know they can't get fired for that. My Freshman science teacher was mean to only Freshman. Now, whenever she sees me, she's always extremely nice. Some teachers are just mean because they don't like their jobs. Nonetheless, if your teacher wasn't teaching properly or was beating the kids, that would be a good ticket out of there. But just "being mean" could be a  matter of perspective and I don't think there's anything you can do.

This is not an ordinary case...... you can sue this administrator if you think it is necessary... but i think the best solution is to transfer to another school...... be careful......they hold the "power"......call the attention of the principal or the parents-teachers-association.... as soon as possible before its too late.... take action!!!!

you should write all the times the teacher discriminated against you and talk to the principal.  if nothing is done, you could go to the school board or, yes, file a lawsuit

When I was in grade 9, I had a teacher that coudn't go 2 days without blowing something up, setting something of fire, or distroying something. In the year that I had him, he ended up setting the roof of the classroom on fire, setting his pants on fire, setting his hand on fire, setting his desk on fire, setting my desk on fire, setting my text book on fire (I had a front row seat, how it worked out alphabetically), he fired a bottle rocket off in the class room, he would through white board markers at people, he through a chair at me, with the "egg drop" project, just dropping the egg wasn't good enough so they were fired up in the air using bottle rockets, that is just a small list, and after all the damage he did to the school/students/himself, he still won the Pan Canadian Student Choice Awards, and now he's an assistant principal.

I know exactly what I would do.  I would find out when the next school board meeting was first.  Then I would get me a good lawyer and go to that school board meeting.  When it is time for discussion from the floor, I would tell the Superintendent and the School Board exactly what has been going on and exactly what the principal and the teacher has said to you.  I would then tell them that they are allowing your child to be bullied and he is in an unsafe environment and that your lawyer is prepared to file a lawsuit (he will tell you what to say here) and that you are not going to allow your child to be treated this way because a cops child is the one doing the bullying.  I would also consider telling the cop and his spouse that you will be filing a suit against them as well. \n\nI really don't want you to go through with this unless they don't do anything to make the situation better.  Sometimes the threat of something like this is just what they need.  Imagine all the bad press they would get for allowing bullying to go on in their school system.....  I would push for the principal and the teacher to be disciplined also.  \n\nWe had an almost similar situation where the principal told the teachers not to tell anyone that there was a meningitis outbreak at the school.  Needless to say that principal retired after that.  My son was also getting his lunch money stolen everyday.  I tried for about 2 months to get him to stand up for himself but that is just not the kind of kid he his.  Finally, I wrote a letter to the teacher and told her what was going on and I also called the pricipal and told her.  The children (2) were caught red handed.  They were told they would have to repay the money.  The same day the money was repaid, one of the kids stole the money back.  I got a letter from one of the childrens mother saying that her son told them that mine was "giving" his money to him.  I know different because my son was extremely upset over the whole thing.  I didn't get mad over the money, I just wanted him to not be tortured anymore.  Just like you.  I would pay to just threaten them with a lawyer.  I'm sure you can find one that would do this for a very reasonable price.  Shop around.  I hope you can get this taken care of.  No one will take up for our children but us.  I wish you all the best.

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.

You need to find out more about WHY she is being fired.  The fact that she is fun doesn't mean that you are learning what you are supposed to be learning and, as a teacher, there are things she is supposed to be doing that you may not know about.  For example, she may have been rude to other teachers or administrators, missed mandatory meetings, or failed to turn in required reports.  Once you get a better sense of WHY, you can better address those issues, if they have anything to do with you.  For example, if you are told that students have complained, a petition by students may help, but if it is because she doesn't work well with her colleagues, your saying she is fun in the classroom won't have any impact.

They have to deal with kids every day, which is stressful in itself.  They don't get paid that much, and their job is very important.  It doesn't make it any easier when their students act up.  I had some mean teachers when I was a kid, but I understand why some are like that now.  Of course, some people are just mean in general and shouldn't even be teaching!

Dude that's totally jacked up. My teacher hates me too and she calls me out for things I didn't even do, I think she should be taken to court because she lies. Stand up for yourself. I did

Kim, I teach at a public university and I am very demanding of my teacher education students.  It's not meanness, it's not evil intent; instead, we just want them to work as hard as they are able, to soak up as much as they can, in preparation for life.  You see, you are about to go into the big-bad world in a couple of years -- wouldn't you rather apply yourself now so you will have success then?  \n\nMy students know I am hard.  They have commented, and I readily acknowledge, that I am the toughest of all the teachers.  However, that said, they say how much more prepared they will be when they leave due to this high level of expectations.  Instead of thinking the teachers are out to get you, couldn't you think they are just trying to get you as prepared as possible?  And be grateful?  If they aren't going to push you, who will?\n\nGood luck -- and I hope it makes sense to you!

Make then have a silent time lunch.\nTell the teacher to bring a conduct card to the lunch room.\nAsk the principal to stop by once in a while.\nHave a lunch detention room,but send one at a time.\nHave assigned seats.\n\n\nIf you have one or two rowdy students move them to a table by themselves.\n\nIt is possible that this behavior has never corrected,if so it will take some time to correct it.\nYou have to show them that YOU are  in charge,not them !\nWe are creatures of habit.\nGood luck !

First thing is to take your child out of that school and enroll him in another school or pvt. school or home school, until the matter is resolved.\nHire a lawyer. File a civil suit against the district. Contact the Police department and file a report of abuse on the teacher and principal. Make sure to get the case number of the report filed from the officer who writes the report.

If she is as bad as you say she is, yes, she should be fired.  Can you sneak a tape recorder in, so you can tape her and have proof?

I know it is easier said, but first try power of silence. It worked for me.  Once you enter into the classroom, you simple have to take charge, stand in front of the class and do not move or say anything until you get total attention of all the students.\n\nSilence is powerful. It took the student about 15 minutes before I got complete silence.  The teacher next door ran to the principal requesting that I be employed full time and this was what they did. The vacancy resulted because the last two teachers for this class could not take it no more and gave up the plan book never to return.   \n\nSecond lay down you class rule.  I had one rule: If you want to stay, you must obey.\n\nThird, inform them that you will have phone numbers, address, and emails to make contact with their parents and guardians.\n\nAlso so not call on anyone in your class to do something before giving them advance notice or before you know them individually. I had an 11th grade student who acted up in class only when students were asked to read in class.  Why? The student could not read and did anything to avoid called upon to read.  So get to know your students. \n\nFinally ask each student to write something about them self and turn it in to you. If it is the lower class ask them to say it while you take time to write what they say.  Now that you are in control, you can teach, not baby sit.

cafeteria workers are going to have to be more tolerant of  teachers. All the years of working with the little darlings  made them...somewhat peculiar.\nThey shouldn't stare at the teachers who have nervous tic's,  have hunks of hair missing from their heads,  are scratching because they have huge welts on their faces, or are speaking in tongue.\nYou have more class than that!!!!!\n\n*what would Dustin Do?

In a school I went to for my GED there was, as in nearly any class, detractive students.  It was actually suggested that we tell interrupting students to be quiet, and that the teacher would not have any qualms with that.  Depending on the individual, there are numerous tacks to take.  If this person is a brat they may be acting out, and even assaulting you.  Watch for clever verbal assaults.  One of the best responses I've found is: "It's unfortunate that you feel that way!"  If that doesn't work try: "Everyone in the class knows what you're up to."  You'll be surprised how well that works!
