  Case: Negative teacher
Mrs. Frank has worked for several years with Mrs. Smith. They are not only co-workers but also friends. Mrs. Smith is extremely negative with her students. She yells at her students often, and unfortunately, the students (and some parents) do not care for her at all. Mrs. Smith wonders why her students are doing so poorly. Every year she complains that she "always gets these kids". How does Mrs. Frank handle the situation? Does she talk with Mrs. Smith, an administrator, or leave well enough alone?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Mrs. Frank needs to speak with Mrs. Smith regarding her frustrations. If this does not resolve itself then she needs to speak with an administrator regarding Mrs. Smith. Mrs. Smith impacts students every day. If she is impacting them negatively then this needs to be reported. Mrs. Frank needs to continue up the chain of command until something is done. At the end of the day there are many teachers in this same sinking ship. Some people just need to get the heck out of education before they try and ruin more lives.
