Teacher Break Rooms: Veritable cesspools of negativity!!!
Nothing but respect for educator par excellence Kris Hinrichsen. The Anchorage, Alaska teacher was not afraid to speak his mind regarding some of the vicious and unprofessional instructor break room gossip about intractable students and parents. Kris points out that this is flat out WRONG for a second grade teacher to talk critically about a problem child to child's potential third grade teacher. This has obvious ramifications with how third grade teacher would handle the inevitable discipline issues with said student.
Derrick Meador did a marvelous job of enumerating the damaging effects of excessive educator venting over under performing and sometimes disruptive kiddos. The Oklahoma State University graduate calls out principals to be proactive in clamping down on hypercritical teachers including disciplinary action up to firing the malcontent who is always bitching about something!!!
Hinrichsen is a natural leader and teacher, but also has skill in coining powerful metaphors like break room equals cesspool for negativity. I LOVE IT DUDE! Keep doing what you are doing slick. Your Zoom meeting was awesome and Artesia, New Mexico adores you. We are glad you got back into teaching after being driven out by pretentious and arrogant educators.
