What if students hear? Should I say something?                 Submit a Possible Solution Please read response(s) below (if any) before posting your solution.                 Solution 1 Posted April 17, 2022 3:27 am aDaVyD Reps: 100 I would definitely say something to the teacher about the inappropriateness of their behavior. If the teacher ignores your comment and the discussion continue, I would inform your principal. This could become a significant issue for the school if a student hears and tells their parents.

The teacher should discuss those matters when not on campus.

I think you are right to fear students over hearings these talks, and I would say something. When it comes down to it, speaking up is in the best interest of the students. When approaching confrontation, I would always make sure to be respectful yet still truthful. I would let the teacher know that if the teacher feels the need to discuss this with his/her coworkers, make sure these conversations are not occurring during school hours.

If it continues I would go and complain to the principal.

If it continues, then take it to a higher up, the last thing you want is students to hear those conversations.

If that's impossible I would be honest and say, "I do not want to talk about this." Social correction barely happens between adults so when it does, it holds weight!

Non verbal communication carries more influence than people think, and might facilitate the realization that this talk is inappropriate in the school/professional setting. This nonverbal message could be a look or gesture of discomfort. This is a simple yet effective strategy that allows you to avoid having to verbally express something.

I would try not to come off as rude, but say if you can hear those conversations, then the students might be able to hear them too. If they continue this behavior or if you do not feel comfortable addressing this with your coworker then I would let your principal know what is going on.

Personal conversations should not be held anywhere near students and something should be said to them or their supervisors Votes: +0 / -0 This Solution Is Useful   This Solution Is Not Useful   Comments posted for this solution Add a Comment                 Solution 15 Posted October 16, 2022 1:49 am miraya perri Reps: 200 I would definitely say something if this is a topic where student ears could hear.

I would report it. If it continues, and you feel it was not adequately handled, go to district and then your statewide education department. I would not address it with them yourself, it is not your responsibility, and could only create a hostile environment for you.

This kind of conversation should be had outside of work time and not on school grounds. So, yes, someone should be informed of the inappropriate conversations.
