– the classroom. The student told her she had plans to report her, and went to find a more senior member of staff to do so. The teacher then said ‘Now that we’ve finally gotten rid of that one!’ Things like this occur in the class frequently, and I feel like I’m observing a teacher behaving incredibly unprofessionally, bullying a student, targeting an individual. I do not believe the report I have mentioned was carried through, and so I feel as if I should do something. What would you recommend?

In response to your story, I would discuss your concerns with an administrator.  The particular students being bullied should also come forward.

It stresses students out when they’re taking a test and the teachers come up behind them.

I don’t give many tests, but I would think that teachers walking around would be to see who needs help.  If they walk by you, it means you would be doing okay on the test.  If they stop to help you, it is to do just that: help you.  Remember, teachers are there to teach and help you.  If you are uncomfortable with this, talk to your teacher privately to express your concerns.
