I have seen staff here at my school act very unprofessionally. I've had a teacher sexually harass multiple other teachers and students. It took months to get him removed. He also belittled students and slept during his periods.
I joke with my students and bring in modern slang and idioms into instruction. I know its easy to fall over the line and become "cool". I need to remember that I am the teacher. I often remember the Spanish word for teacher is Maestro or master. I need to lead and not be part of the pack.
Besides his behavior I am appalled at the lack of concern by administration and district HR. I was a manager for 20 years before I became a teacher. The lack of professionalism at the admin level is driving my decision to leave the district and find work elsewhere.
