I'm a large man that works out almost every day. It is amazing that there are junior high students that speak to me with such a huge attitude.

I understand your feeling about attitude and disrespect. However, please hear this with sincerity and not disrespect, your statement is about physical size and being a man = respect. The teachers who command the most respect are teachers who earn it from their students through relationships, caring, and empathy. Please think more about the relationships you are building and the classroom atmosphere you are creating and the respect will be earned. You are very spot on that respect is not instilled in children the way it used to be, but that is a common generational cycle.

They are invincible at that age. Their hormones do most of their talking. Once you earn their respect, they will do anything for you. Relationships are so important.

There is also a significant amount of disrespect in our society today, much of it propagated by the adults. I don’t know how we can turn that around when it’s what the kids see all around them

I don’t think size is an issue! I think it’s is the way the students are being brought up today! They don’t realize that questioning authority is sometimes disrespectful as they are not taught HOW to go about it!

Looking for advice:
My dept has 2 directors. One is so rude. The other ignores the issue. The previous HR director told me to report any issues because she was building a case (not appropriate info to share, I know). She's since left and there's a new HR director. This rude guy has recently sent me several very rude things through email and I'm debating how to handle it. Is it worth it to talk to HR? Im worried it'll just make things worse since none of it is "wrong", just rude and insensitive.

Hello! I usually review my 1:1 doc before I meet with the director. I noticed other directors are reading my development goals and other excel. Should I be worried. My current director is the owner. What should I do? What you do you think?
