He has a very strong accent, has never taught in a classroom before and sometimes seems insulted by women giving him advice. There are several students that give him a hard time because they have a strong military background in their family.Two of my students have lost family members in the war overseas. The parents do like him and the students do not like him. He does not have a a warm and welcoming personality and he is very strict. This is his first year teaching and it is going disastrous. I do not like what I over hear the students saying about him. Administration has not stepped in to assist on either side because I think they are nervous about his reaction. If you were a fellow teacher, would you try to discuss this with the teacher or just let the situation play itself out. Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I would talk to him and let him know that there are students who seem to have a strong opinions about him. As a teacher we should give advice but we cannot change a person. I would possibly have administration observe him.                 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 would of not of handled it this way.

I feel like building a relationship is an important when there is a cultural difference. You're right advice only goes so far but having administration observe him isn't the next step that should be taken I don't think.

I would just be there for him as a colleague.
