  Case: Innapropriate conversations
I am currently interning in an elementary school and during a specials break I overheard two kindergarten teachers talking about inappropriate things. there were no students around to overhear the conversation but I did and was offended. What is the appropriate course of action?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would tell someone who has higher power than the teachers. If it personally offended you or could to anyone else, I think that is the appropriate thing to do.

Comments: While this is a necessary step sometimes, I personally wouldn't start out this way. We have all made mistakes now and then, and the first course of action usually is not to go straight to higher power and jump chains of command. I would first start by simply approaching my coworkers and expressing to them that I do not feel that it is an appropriate topic for school, and that they are making me uncomfortable. Usually just making someone aware of their mistake will fix the problem. Only if they continue to talk inappropriately at work, is it necessary to go up the chain of command.

Comments: It may have more impact on the student coming directly from the teacher. going to higher ups may be making a mountain out of a mole hill, depending on the topic.
