Was a teacher rude to our son?
Our son is very polite, confident, and popular at his school.
Pl;ease help
Answer:
Yes, the teacher was rude. Some people are. But it was not during school, so there is not much to do about it.
Explain to your son that sometimes adults have bad days too, and that not everyone handles every situation in the best way. Perhaps the teacher had a rough week at school, and did not want to be bothered by students on his day off. Perhaps something happened in his personal life, and he just needed to be left alone. These are things that I'm sure your son can relate to.
Use this as an example to teach your son how to rise above the situation, and to judge others favorably. And if he sees the teacher again outside of school, he should probably just keep walking.
Yes, the teacher was very rude. I wouldn't make a big deal out of it unless it is part of a pattern of behavior. Explain to your son that it probably wasn't personal; the teacher might have had something else on his mind, or may have just been in a bad mood.
i would forget it .. you cant change a person behavior.. if they are rude they are rude..that teacher is clearly in it for what ever money he makes out of it and dont care at all for his students.. just tell your son some people are two face like that
tell your son to not approach teachers outside the school some teachers dont like seeing students during off time
Depending on the normal attitude, in school, of the teacher I believe that he may have had a rough day. Perhaps he suffered a loss, or just had a bad luck he just didn't want to be bothered at the time. I would notify a principal, to ask what may have caused the incident.
Yes, it was rude, but I don't think you have to take it any further. Perhaps the teacher was having a bad day and was snappy with everyone. Perhaps the teacher just naturally has bad manners or a bad attitude. There could be any number of reasons. The only time I would actually approach the teacher to find out what's going on is if he behaves this way toward your son in the classroom. In that case, the behaviour would be interfering with your son's education.
well The teacher was Very rude But he is not in school and it would do you no good to talk to them since he was Not on the school grounds..I am glad you son is a polite teenager,kepp up the good work
That was very rude!! I would call the school and mention it to them, not to cause trouble, but to find out why he would treat you son that way. Maybe thats just the way the teacher really is. I know that we have a local news woman that seems nice when on the air, but in person, she's a mean awful person. I hope thats not your case and the teacher was just having a bad day.
I'm sure he didn't just respond "go away"...that is not a typical reaction for even the rudest person...especially a teacher who sees your son on a daily basis. I personally think your son took his joking reaction in a negative way. Your son probably wasn't expecting that reaction so he freaked out.
But I honestly think your son just misinterpreted his teachers reaction. If you bring this up at your next parent teacher conference it's gonna seem lame and the teacher will probably not remember or say he was joking. Besides, the teacher has a right to a private life outside of school. Maybe your son was pestering. You don't know the situation as you weren't there. Remember there are 3 sides to every story. Side 1, side 2 and the truth. And your sons friends will agree with anything your son says as they are 13 and friends.
Try to keep an open mind and put yourself in the teachers position.
i think i would have a meeting with his teacher.. i have seen my teachers outside of school (a long time ago) and never was treated that way.. if someone no matter who they were treated my child like that they would have one pissed off mom on their hands i would want an apology and explaination of their actions.. teachers are supposed to role models for our children and treat them with all the respect that, they expect as a teacher
yes he was rude. when this man chose teaching as a profession, he signed up for everything that comes with it. extending common courtesy to students encountered away from school is not asking too much. consider, however, that if your son felt comfortable enough with this particular teacher to approach him in public, then the teacher is probably a good guy. maybe he was just having a bad day or had just received some terrible news and was consequently not prepared to talk to your son. you never know what someone is going through at any particular moment. i say... let it go.
It is not a big matter, perhaps the teacher was fed up with students. I don't think that he meant to be rude with your son unless he is rude to him in the class. You know teaching sometimes puts the teachers under stress which give them a negative attitude sometimes. and maybe the teacher had a personal problem and needed to be alone at the moment.
I am sorry to hear that someone who your son respects treated him poorly. I think that you can use this bad situation as a learning opportunity for everyone. I think the best way to start solving this problem is to ask your son for his ideas-does he think talking to his teacher would be a good idea? Let him offer suggestions for how to fix the situation-that way he'll feel he has some control.
Talking face to face can be intimidating-what about writing the teacher a note inquiring about what happened. Offering the teacher a chance to explain may open the doors of communication. Perhaps he/she has realized the rudeness and been looking for a way to apologize.
In any case, you can't count on the teacher offering an apology or even an explanation so it might be a good time to have a talk with your son about behavior. Explain that even adults can behave badly, use poor manners, etc. Then perhaps you and your family could make a chart or keep a journal when others treat you nicely or courteously. Reinforce that there are lots of kind, courteous people and talk about how it feels to be treated nicely. I think it's important to remind your son that he can't control others' behavior and the teacher's rudeness was not his fault. Help him understand the importance of basic courtesy.
Good Luck!
forget about it or the teacher will put the kid in his head and that's never a good idea. its probably not a big deal to make it that way and the kid probably caught the teacher in a cranky mood.if the teacher is acting differently to your kid at school then you should be worried and approach the situation rather then that leave it alone.
Unless you witnessed the interchange yourself it is better that you don't interfere.
You may not have heard the whole truth, or the teacher may have been out of line. Either way making an issue of it is not going to help the relationship between the teacher and your son.
Seeing this teacher was not on the job and in his private station in life - there is nothing you can do to change someone's unprofessional behavior on their own time.
I am not defending this cheese-head by any means, but you want to do something about what? Him being himself? The man obviously did not want anyone greeting him and thats his civil right.
Taking the matter up with this teacher's higher ups only makes you his equivalent. As rude as he was - thats his right. As long as he don't smack your son, curse your son, or publicly humiliate your son - he has a right to be left alone.
The best thing your son can do is to leave this poor blighted man alone. I mean, suppose I didn't like how you handled yourself in public with a stranger. Should I challenge you on it? Maybe you felt you were in the right.., and I am being rude.
Just explain to your son that his teacher is maybe a bitter person, who has been harmed by friends and this is his way of protecting himself. There are perhaps other reasons - but not to take it personally. And neither should you take it personally.
sounds to me like the teacher was having a bad day and probaly didn't mean to be rude just let it go everyone has bad day's
I would have to say that the teacher appears to have been rude, but then again your son IS 13. Are you sure that the teacher said this? Does it seem to be a normal behaviour for this teacher? Maybe he was joking around and it went over their heads.
If the teacher seems to have a pattern of bad behaviour, Iwould report it to the school. If it is an isolated incident, excuse it as him having a bad day. Either way, as an adult who your son should be respecting and looking up to, the teacher should apologize to your son.
If it seems to be an isolated incident, I would sit down with your son and discuss with him how sometimes people just have a bad day, and not to hold it against him. Teachers can have bad days too!
That's very odd and just shows the teacher's character. Don't make a big deal out of it, it will just refelct badly on your son. Besides it wasn't on school grounds.
Unfortunately, yes this was rude. I am a teacher myself and I have to say there are those out there who maybe should choose another profession. However, I'm sure you can attest, in every profession/office there is at least one.
sorry this happened to him.
I would just ignore it. Maybe the guy was having a bad day? Maybe he had a death in the family, maybe he can't pay his bills, maybe he was ill. Still no reason to be rude, but you never know why the perosn is acting that way in the first place.
I wouldn't make an issue of it. It was Saturday I know if I were a teacher I wouldn't want to be faced with my students while I was having a coffee. He is entitled to his privacy
