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 probably would not get involved because I am not a confrontational person however I would reach out and offer any suggestions or see how his class is going. We have learned so much about diverse cultural backgrounds that pertain to students, but we have to remember that teachers can also be diverse. I would reach out to the administration and let them know what I hear in the halls but also tell them that I have reached out to the teacher to offer any advice or suggestions. As teachers, we are a team that needs to help each other at times.
