Teachers Who Pick on Kids or Play Favorites!

Students are a captive audience in a school classroom. They have no way of protecting themselves from emotional outbursts from a teacher. When a teacher decides to embarrass a student, all of the students in that classroom are affected.

A student experienced a very uncomfortable situation this morning as one of her teachers embarrassed, criticized and belittled other students in her class. She felt most uncomfortable. She had to expend her energy dealing with the emotions she was experiencing instead of being able to concentrate on the subject matter. This happened in a high school Advanced Placement class. Why?

Students in this class are bright or they would not have qualified for the class. In my opinion, the teacher should have had conferences with the individual students. This type of interaction is a form of bullying. No teacher should be allowed to do this. No student should have to experience this.

If your student is having this type of problem, the first thing is to talk with the teacher and second to contact the administration. Your student is entitled to be in a safe environment in a school classroom. The teacher should not ride over the safety rites of students by being a bully.
