  Case: A Very Disliked Teacher
I have a teacher at my school that is from Afghanistan. He has a very strong accent, has never taught in a classroom before and sometimes seems insulted by women giving him advice. There are several students that give him a hard time because they have a strong military background in their family.Two of my students have lost family members in the war overseas. The parents do like him and the students do not like him. He does not have a a warm and welcoming personality and he is very strict. This is his first year teaching and it is going disastrous. I do not like what I over hear the students saying about him. Administration has not stepped in to assist on either side because I think they are nervous about his reaction. If you were a fellow teacher, would you try to discuss this with the teacher or just let the situation play itself out.
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I personally do not think it's your place to get involved. The best thing to do is be a helping hand for that teacher but do not insert yourself I to their problem. Also, if you hear the negative comments try to shut them down because if that was you I would be a lot better if I knew that another teacher was trying to combat any negative rumors about myself.
