Is this acceptable behaviour?.

I saw this on another forum. Having witnessed what teachers can be like, I have [no] difficulty believing the account to be true,

A woman was visiting a school in the course of her employment when she was shouted at by a teacher - "You girl! Come here!" The teacher then proceeded to berate her for not wearing school uniform - she was wearing jeans. When she tried to explain who she was, the teacher just shouted her down with "I don't want to hear your pathetic excuses, girl!"

The only person responding to the report claims that she deserved a "dressing down" because she wasn't wearing school uniform. He tries to excuse the teacher's action, saying the teacher must have mistaken her for a pupil. However, even if that were the case, surely teachers should show some respect for their pupils.

What do others here think?


EDIT. I omitted the word "no" in my second sentence. Now inserted in square brackets.

Depends on who is doing the shouting. Pecking orders are everywhere. I'd be fired in a heartbeat. Popular people are free to scream and always sound just fine.
