Case: Inappropriate Colleague Comments
Three years ago, when I first started teaching, I was the only African-American teacher in the entire school. I would speak in the morning, and in some intenses, had blank stares as I walked by. (Yes, racism in America is REAL!) I became cool with the grade level closest to my room. In one setting, one of the teachers repeated something he saw on the internet that referenced the "n word" in a song. I was cool with the reference the first time he said it, but the second and third times just took it too far. I did not say anything to administration, but would that have been the best solution?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would definitely go to administration about this. This is very inappropriate not only for you as an African American teacher but also for the African American students, this might also show other students that it is okay to use the N word when it is NEVER okay. |

| Comments: I do not feel that going to administration without first attempting to speak to your colleague is the right thing to do. I think that by letting them know you are uncomfortable you at least are giving them the opportunity to correct the behavior on their own. |

| Comments: I do not agree with this solution. Since the teacher has a good rapport with the other teacher, it should be discussed between the two of them that it is not ok and it makes them feel uncomfortable. |
