Extremely bad behavior from someone who shouldn’t be teaching a class anywhere, it seems.
I was attending a convention in Florida a few years ago and I found myself on a shuttle bus with a goup of teachers, going from the hotel to the convention center. Many of these teachers thought the driver was doing a bad job and complained pretty much from start to finish. They apparently also thought the driver was not an English language speaker. After they all disembarked, the driver said, “Did they think I couldn’t understand them?” Apparently so. And this from the group that promotes “empathy” and “respect for diversity.”
I don’t know why some teachers feel as though they have a right to act this way. Maybe it’s because they believe others don’t respect their profession. In any case, it’s sad to see such a disconnect between what they teach and how they behave.
Disclaimer: There are so many fine teachers - unfortunately, the others make such a bad impression that it’s hard to forget.
That is certainly possible. When you walk in on the middle of a class and expect to get attention it would be a lot like walking onto a farm while the farmer was busy doing his/her job and expecting them to drop everything for you. People who don't give respect often don't get respect.
