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!)
Since Mrs. Frank and Mrs. Smith are close friends, Mrs. Frank should talk to her about the situation. She should tell her that she hears how she yells at the students and rumors are around that everyone else knows about it too. She should tell her that her students will respond better to her if she turned it down a bit. I would not talk to an administrator about this because of the fact of being friends. |

| Comments: I agree with some of what you say but I do believe the teacher should report her friend if the situation isn't improved. They are not there to be friends but to shape and mold students. |

| Comments: Since they are friends, it is important for Mrs. Frank to try and talk to her first, however, if this doesn't work, it's important for the administration to be involved. |

| Comments: I do not agree with this approach, telling her that everyone else knows about her behavior makes it seem as though all the staff has been talking negatively about her behind her back. This may escalate the situation and make Mrs. Smith angry with her colleagues. |
