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.

@SW-User No, I've just read the report again, the teacher was male.

@Caroline259 😳. Probably deep rooted issues for sure . Someone needs to tell him it’s 2023 💁‍♂️

@SW-User I'm sure some people become teachers just for the power trip. They'd never get away with that type of behaviour in any other job where they'd be interacting with adults.

@Caroline259 I’d have to agree but not all, some are genuine educators .

@SW-User That's why I said "some". I've seen some very good teachers too.
