They let the students get away with a lot, like playing on their phone, sitting on the floor and refusing to work, and talking back. It makes any kind of lesson almost impossible. This teacher has seniority over me, and has been here for quite some time. How should I approach this? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I understand the hesitation because the other teacher has seniority, but you have to be able to have control of the students. I would bring up your concerns without pointing the finger. Have it seemed like you are asking for advice. Hopefully the other teacher will get the point.
