School problem.... please answer asap?

Question

does a teacher have the right to yell at a student??!!!!

Answer 1

Of course a teacher has the right to raise hir voice to a student. It's what the teacher says that makes the difference, not necessarily the volume it's said at. Even at "yelling" volume, the teacher might not be saying anything inappropriate.

However, constant yelling isn't very effective teaching practice, and probably indicates extreme frustration and lack of a discipline plan.

Edited to add:

So, you were parked on the road outside of the parking lot?

I'm assuming that if you are not allowed to be dropped off there, that there must be another designated area of drop offs and pick-ups. And it doesn't sound like that's what you were using.

Try to see this from the teacher's point of view. There are kids, cars and buses all over. It's the teacher's job to make sure no one gets hurt. There are clear rules about where people can be dropped off and picked up, in order to avoid traffic problems and injuries. If an accident happens, the school, and the teacher on duty is going to be held responsible.

Maybe yelling wasn't the best way to get his point accross, but he was clearly frustrated that you weren't following the safety rules.

Instead of complaing, why not learn from this and get dropped off where you're supposed to?

Answer 2

duh!

You were wrong in the first place.

Answer 3

it depends on the situation. if the student wasn't doing anything wrong AT ALL, no. if they where gooofing off, running around, make noise, or breaking one of the rules of thier classroom/the school, then yes.

Answer 4

uhh... YEA! if your misbehaving, then yes, the teacher should yell at the student!

Answer 5

no, it is unprofessional and wrong, especially if done often, report to principal and parents

Answer 6

Yes, he/she does. It's called a verbal reprimand, and it's a form of discipline. Not all teachers have to do this, but some do, and it is not illegal.  

Answer 7

yep totally :)

not hit of course, but their well within their rights to have a good shout at the brats ;)
