  Case: How to Deal WIth Annoying Teachers
My grade level has just welcomed two new teachers aboard. One teacher has only been teaching for two years. She often has questions, and may ask you a question in the middle of instruction, but she is not the annoying one! The annoying one has been taught a little long, and has an answer for everything! She talks, and talks, and talks, and the grade level is getting fed up! She tries to one up everyone by having a better and more extravagant response. As my students would say, she's just "doing too much"! How should my grade level approach her, and not attack her?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Before directly "attacking" her for what she is doing, you could try making a general statement to the group about trying to keep suggestions short and to the point. You could say this will help keep the meetings shorter so you have more time to plan in your classroom.

Comments: This solution is useful because it eliminates the possibility of someone feeling belittled or attacked.
Addressing the group as a whole also sets standards for everyone so they can be on the same level.
