By Angel Bentley

A bullying teacher is defined as a teacher who uses their power to punish, manipulate or ridicule a student beyond the consider disciplinary procedures.

Types of bullying: Sarcasm Name calling Humiliating students who perceive as having

potential behavioral problems in the classroom

Do educators really bully students?

30 surveys were done by students at OU: 6 people out of 30 reported that they were

bullied by a teacher. 5 out of 6 bullied by teachers in high school. 4 out of 6 had some idea why they were being

bullied. 2 told a parent; 2 stood up for themselves; 1

cried; and 1 did not care. The other 24 people were just bullied by other

students.

Primary Research:

I believe that the people who reported being bullied by a teacher in high school because high school is kids think it is cool to defiantly disobey teachers and other school officials. So, high school teachers have to use some

type of forceful discipline to make their students listen.

Conclusion:

No one reported of being bullied by a professor here at OU.

OU professors want to help you succeed. Plus they can kick you out of their classroom

if you disrespect them.

Conclusion:

In 2008, 50 children from an alternative education setting were surveyed, ages 11 to 18 years reported being bullied by a teacher. 86% had at least one incident were a teacher

bullied them. 88% reported being bullied psychologically by

a teacher. Twice as many students reported being bullied

more by a teacher than a peer.

Secondary Research:

I suggest colleges need to require Education majors to take a class in classroom communication. This way teachers can learn how to talk to

students in an appropriate manner. I also suggest that teachers take an emotion

management class to control their inner emotions.
