Testimonial

Hi Mike,

My boss was verbally abusive and loved to belittle people publicly, often moving around the room in a somewhat threatening manner. I believe
he was insecure and it was his way of trying to stop people challenging hisideas. He is the most toxic person I have met in a very long time.

I did your selective  silence strategy when he was berating me one on
one. This drove him crazy and he dismissed me from the room. 

The fact that I did not argue or get upset was very disconcerting

for him. I think he literally did not know what to do.

Thank you.Belinda L. Australia

Coping with Toxic Parents

If Your Problem, As A Teacher, Involves Not Knowing How To Cope With Difficult/Toxic Parents And Fellow Staff Members And You Want To Solve It NOW Then  Read On…

A True Story

I recall teaching with a young woman who was going through hell and was forced to take an extended stress leave because of one toxic parent and one unethical fellow staff member.

What was the problem?

Her teaching style was low key.  She was a bit shy and lacked confidence when talking to parents and peers.

Because of this she was perceived as dull, uninteresting, weak and incompetent even though her students seemed to like her. (What we do in the name of concern for students.)

After 6 months on stress leave she returned to teach at another school under a stronger, more understanding and supportive principal. She never had a problem like that again and is now approaching 20 years in the profession.

The sad fact is that I have seen this type of story played out far too often with  more tragic results.

It is one of the reasons I have committed myself to becoming an advocate for teachers to help promote fair treatment, self confidence, assertiveness, joy and a healthy productive relationship between teacher and parent.
