No I've never done that. Most likely the teacher won't accept it and you'll probably get a failing grade for even trying. In some cases punishment may be more severe like expulsion from school.

Go and talk tot he teacher and the school management and raise all the hell you want. Keep your daughter home and threaten the management that you will report this to media and police and take the school and the teacher to court, if they do not take suitable actions against the teacher. You do not want your daughter to let anyone mark her for life and you have to be the one to set an example of being courageous and fight back.

Not all teachers are cruel to students. The ones who are, probably don't know any other way to control their class. It's not a very good excuse, but being the only adult in a room full of kids is an intimidating experience. Especially if the kids aren't paying attention. Usually, the 'cruel' teachers have good sides too. You just have to follow the rules to get on, and stay on, that good side.

Tell someone important in your school -- head teacher or something--\n\nIf this fails just report the bloke and your details to the police - they will definitly chase it up as this is happening within a school.\n\nmaybe if possible find an adult that will giv the bloke a slap And death threat if he continues messing with children.\n\nMost adults with any 'guts' will confront this person.\n\nI would surely be on his case.\n\nkind regards -- good luck

Try being a little bit more strict, not to the point of being harsh though. Just let them know that you are their teacher, and they need to stay on task. Also be consistent with your punishings. For instance, if one week you punish a lot of children for talking, and the next week you slack off a little bit, then they may get the idea that its okay to talk whenever they want to. Hope this helps. =)

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.

Only if you want to be suspended, expelled, and/or prosecuted by the full extent of the law. Seriously, some guys got suspended recently for EATING THE TEACHER'S COOKIES. No joke.

A teacher should be able to:\n-work well with people (adults, too...parents, administrators, etc.)\n-be able to give instructions\n-understand the subject matter they are going to teach\n-be flexible\n-think on their feet\n-communicate well\n\nAnd much, much more!

An effective, efficient teacher constantly evaluates whether her students are learning, not just the "quality" of her teaching.  If a teacher is only focused on her behavior, she could be performing wonderful teaching.  However, if her students are not learning, despite her teaching, the teaching is ineffective. \n\nEffective teachers look at student assessments, see what students are and aren't learning, and then adjust instruction accordingly.  If kids didn't learn something, the effective teacher goes back and reteaches it.  If one kid didn't learn it, the teacher offers that student (and requires his participation!) extra assistance.\n\nWhen teachers refuse to let students fail, student achievement soars.

Remember that teaching in real life and teaching "concepts" and "methods" they teach you in school are very very different.  You have to be resourceful, patient, resilient, confident, creative, and strong!!!  Dealing with students daily is not easy and sometimes feel like a battle.  Also, there is a lot of politics involved with the administration and parents.  Be prepared for the worst and reap your rewards!

I believe the law says that until you can prove wrong doing, you have to pay the person. They usually put them on paid administration because for some reason or another they don't want the person around just in case the accusation is true. Such as child abuse in the school, if there is any doubt that the adult,(teacher) did it they don't want him/her near the children. Hope this tells you something you wanted to know.

There are some vital areas you have overlooked. You need to 'catch them being good' and openly reward positive behaviour. The pupils should be involved in the creation of the class rules and sanctions and be very clear in advance of what will happen should these rules be broken. And should the rules be broken you should tell them it's their behaviour they don't like not them. It is vital that you have unconditional positive regard for pupils. You also need to have a very robust and consistent approach to positive behaviour management, agreed strategies on how you will deal with and respond to individuals with individual needs. This needs to be in writing to ensure other visiting specialists or cover teachers are aware of these agreed strategies and use them. And finally, ask yourself - are your lessons worth behaving for? \nGood reading? Anything by Bill Rogers

Get rid of tenure, have a merit system for teachers, if they don't meet certain standards, they can be fired. Smaller class sizes, don't let the teachers, and their left wing union brainwash these kids with their liberalism.

A teacher is for life, not just for school.

Bound's hubby here:\n\nTenure does not guarantee a teacher (or professor) a job ... this is a misconception. If an educator has tenure, they can still lose their job, for CAUSE! What tenure really does, is protect an educator from arbitrary and caprecious dismissal. Teaching is a very political profession. \n\nRemember the teacher that you didn't like because you didn't get that "A"? Without tenure, that teacher, no matter how good he or she is, could lose their job, just because someone with the ability, could get them fired. \n\nTenure does not protect an educator's job if they commit a crime, if they assault a student, or anything else ... what it does mean, is that the school board must state a defendable reason why the teacher is being dismissed! Dismissal for a tenured teacher is generally accompanied by certificate action, where they will usually lose their right to teach forever!
