    Default Re: Student trying to harm my status

    I have teaching too long to quit. Do adults have the right to work in place (even a school) in which they are not harrassed? Do adults in public schools in the U.S. have rights or do they only apply to students? Does a teacher have the right to even know who his or her accuser is? This info has not been told to me though I am certain who the student is.

    If you don't like your school's policies, get job at a different school. But it is in no way improper to hold teachers to a higher standard than the children they teach, nor to tell teachers that they cannot use name-calling as a disciplinary technique.

    This is purely a personal opinion but I think that you are just too overwrought about this. Yes, its unpleasant to be chastised by a member of the administration, but at the same time, the issue is trivial enough that they are not going the formal discipline route. Take it for what it is...the administration feeling required to say something, but really not taking it seriously.

    You should not take it so seriously either.

    Do talk to your union rep but rather than complaining about it ask for suggestions as to how to deal with children like the one in question, so it looks like you are asking for help and guidance rather than complaining.
