  Case: Cranky Teacher
During my last internship I classroom teacher never smiled, and acted as if she'd rather be somewhere else. Whenever a student would ask her a question, she'd huff and puff as if it was such a bother to answer a student.
I felt that going to the administration may not have been such a great thing to do. Any suggestions on how (or if) this could have been handled?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
How many times did you go?
I would politely ask " Is everything ok?" " Is there anything I can do?"
Maybe something is going on at home?
If it really bothers you say something to the administration in a non threating causal way and see where it gets you

Comments: Well I think that this may be an okay start to a solution I do think that it may be a more serious issue, it sounds as if the original poster has been to this classroom quite a few times to observe this attitude from the teacher
