    printer friendly version

    Question: What should I do if my teacher verbally abuses me in private and in public?

    Answer: All school children are entitled to respect and civility from their teachers. If you feel you are being verbally abused, you and/or your parents should immediately report this to the school's administration (e.g. the principal). The school is then notified of the situation, can conduct an investigation, and can then respond appropriately based on the facts.

    Ah, the subject of abuse by teachers whether it be emotional or physical I find to be a funny subject. Take for instance my old principle at my elementary school. He took some kid and slammed him into a wall and yelled obscenities for really no reason. The kid didn't do anything. You know what happened to our principle? If you're thinking fired then you're wrong. Not even a class about anger management was given. Nope, he was only transfered to another elementary school with no other repercussions for his actions. Mind you this kid that this happened to was only seven year old. Funny, eh?

    One of my closesed friends were being verbily abused in front of the whole class and she got the principal to do an investigation, that went really well. The teacher went through a class to redirect her her insults, and the class started to go really well for her. In fact the teacher became one of her favorites. None of that would have happened if she didn't say anything.
