I received an email during 4th period today from the Principal:
Mr. W , your presence is required in my office today after school. I need to hold a disciplinary conference with a teacher for using vulgar language in class.
Being the VP of the teacher association it is one of my duties to represent teachers in such meetings. I got to the office a few minutes after the bell. There was a pair of parents already waiting. The teacher in question followed me in a couple of minutes later.
It was the teacher who sent me the email tirade the other day.
Turns out he got mad at his class and started dropping F-bombs. One kid has it on his cellphone video. Kids told the parents, parents complained to administration.
I’m sure he hated to have me see him in this situation, but all I did was take notes and ask him after the meeting if he needed any help filling out his response paperwork. He didn’t. I told him if needed anything to let me know.
i’m really glad I didn’t respond now.
