Teacher Behavior: Your Thoughts?

Is it typical for a teacher to shout directly at middle school students?

From my own experience at a previous school, I had a teacher with a strict rule against putting elbows on the desk or table. I understood that it was meant to promote respect.

Everyone generally followed the rule, but if anyone slipped up, like I did, he would raise his voice to the point where I ended up in tears. Is this kind of behavior acceptable from teachers, or does it cross a line? His tone was often aggressive, and he would frequently ask, “How many times do I have to tell you all?”

Just one mistake would spark his anger and yelling. I’m curious to hear your thoughts on this—what do you think?

  1. It sounds like your experience was really tough, and it’s completely understandable to feel upset about how that teacher handled situations in the classroom. It’s not uncommon for teachers to have rules and expectations, but how they enforce those rules can make a big difference in a student’s emotional well-being.

    Yelling at students, especially in a way that causes them to cry, isn’t considered an effective teaching method. It can create fear and anxiety rather than a positive learning environment. While some people might think strictness is part of discipline, there’s a big difference between being firm and being aggressive.

    It’s important for teachers to establish authority and rules, but they should also create a supportive atmosphere where students feel safe. Open communication and understanding can go a long way in fostering respect and cooperation in the classroom. Thank you for sharing your experience—it’s crucial to talk about these issues so that changes can be made for better teaching practices!
