Unfortunately, there are tooooooo many unstable teachers out there. I know--I've worked with some of them. There is one teacher (a big male coach) who came after me (lil female teacher) because kids told him I said something about him (which I didn't)! They just wanted to see him get mad. I honestly thought he was going to hit me before I could get him calmed down enough to "hear me." This happened twice--the second time in a room full of students. (He had me alone the first time and scared the H*** out of me.) The second time I went to admin. I was told, "Oh, I know he's a hothead. Don't worry about him. Just stay out of his way. He wouldn't really hurt anyone." Uh huh. Eventually, I think he will. Thank God there are now multiple states between us.
