A bullying teacher is defined as a teacher who uses their power to punish, manipulate or ridicule a student beyond the consider disciplinary procedures.(Tmelow, 2006.)

Types of bullying: Sarcasm Name calling Humiliating students who perceive as having

potential behavioral problems in the classroom(Slyvester, 2011.)

Do educators really bully students?

30 surveys were done by students at OU: 6 people out of 30 reported that they were

bullied by a teacher. 5 out of 6 bullied by teachers in high school. 4 out of 6 had some idea why they were being

bullied. 2 told a parent; 2 stood up for themselves; 1

cried; and 1 did not care.

I believe that the people who reported being bullied by a teacher in high school because high school is kids think it is cool to defiantly disobey teachers and other school officials. So, high school teachers have to use some

type of forceful discipline to make their students listen.

No one reported of being bullied by a professor here at OU.

In 2008, 50 children from an alternative education setting were surveyed, ages 11 to 18 years reported being bullied by a teacher.(Whitfield, 2008.) 86% had at least one incident were a teacher

bullied them. 88% reported being bullied psychologically by

a teacher. Twice as many students reported being bullied

more by a teacher than a peer.

Is teacher bullying an effective way to teach? What are the effects? Does it increase higher grades? Does it cause better classroom behavior

amongst students ?
