The hostility on my team is rough. We have a yeller. I walked by her room the other day. She was screaming across the room at a student, "you have to be kind to get kindness." Seriously, those were her words in a loud, berating, angry tone. Our admin has asked that we not report these. We are to talk to the teacher. She has yelled at me and other adults. Admin has to know she treats the kids this way too. One teacher has to work with her door closed to not hear the yelling all day.

It's that administrator's job to deal with this, not yours or any other teacher's. What would happen if you told the admin how distracting this is for you and your students? Would they deal with it then? Or you may have to go above their head and complain to other higher ups...This teacher should not be allowed to continue yelling like that at kids.

That is a tough one, shouldn’t be but is. Those yellers are typically intense in all areas of their lives and so admin may need to buck up and coach up or out for the betterment of the team and definitely the kids. I would encourage you to say something to your colleague, maybe record it so she can hear herself and then if that doesn’t work insist your admin. support your team by addressing it based on the expectations of your team. As a colleague though, you should feel comfortable and know the importance of the role you play in holding team members accountable. That person may think they are fine if they haven’t heard concerns brought to them by colleagues.

I could use some advice on this situation. I’ve been working for a small family owned business in Toronto Canada for about 4months. I’ve noticed a lot of unprofessional behaviour since I’ve started (yelling at workers infront of customers) I’ve bounced around different positions so much that the owner blames 98% of stuff on me when something isn’t done, even if it’s not my responsibility anymore.A week ago I asked for an employment contract to get this straight but nothing yet. What do I do?

Really struggling with a few students in my kindergarten class this year and looking for suggestions. I've been teaching K for 10 of the 16 years I've been a teacher, and have never felt as disrespected by students as I do this year. Several students continually talk, yell, and laugh over me, or make noises when I am talking. They are sent away from the group to reset and make a better choice, but usually continue when they return. Parent contact has been supportive, but hasn't helped.
