  Case: Disrespectful teacher
Lately I have been noticing a teacher being incredibly disrespective to a particular student. This student has a lot of isssues including behavioral and academic. The teacher is at her wits end and I find her losing her patience very often. Some of the things she says and gossips about (to the student) can be harsh. This student isnt a bad student, especially when he feels like you respect him. What should I do? Administration has done nothing.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
If you have any sort of relationship with the teacher, I would say that you should start there, and pull them aside to express your concerns. However, do not do it in an attacking way, as that is likely to put the person on the defense. Instead, as you say, you recognize that they are at their wits end, and maybe offer some suggestions on how the teacher can approach deal with the student better in the future. Since it also sounds like you may have a bit of a relationship with the student, you can also start there, and try to get them to begin behaving better in the class (so the teacher is not at their wits end) and being disrespectful to the student.

Yet, if you do not have a relationship with the teacher, and you think what they are doing is unethical, then you do need to report their behavior to administration. That last part though is your call - as you know what is being said and is the only one able to make this decision based on those actions.

Comments: there might be a middle ground here, if they do not have a relationship, it might be a good idea to speak to them first, even as strangers, they might not realize themselves that they are slipping
