Several of your student express their anger at another teacher expressing her religious beliefs to her class. More than one student has stated that a teacher in a previous class that day told an openly gay student that he was going to Hell because of his sexual orientation. What should be done? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) In a situation like this if I had a relationship with the other teacher I would go to them and voice my concern to them. If I was not close with them and there was another teacher that was, I would have go with me to talk to this teacher. If at that point it continued I would tell the students if they came to me again that this was something they needed to bring up with a counselor or administration.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) No The suggested solution is relevant to the case No The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement No The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue No The suggested solution is original No Comments: I think that a situation like this shouldn't be treated in a personal manner, and rather should be looked at by administration as well as the word of the student. It's hard to choose not to talk to a friend of yours, but bringing personal relationships and opinions into the situation can add fuel to the fire.

Especially when its to the teacher who made the comment!
