What do you do about a teacher who can't control her class?

One of my teachers is probably a nice person in real life, but she takes no serious disciplinary action towards several students in my class. The students arrive several minutes late-she does nothing. They tell her absolutely vulgar things that they want to do to her, one guy in particular actually feels her up in front of the class-nothing. They talk back and disrupt the entire class-she'll actually laugh with them on occasion. A few minutes of joking and exchanging pleasantries is excusable, but added up, my class is roughly half of 92 min of this circus. She tried to actually crack down, by making the entire class write over 1000 vocab words for homework. This is where I snapped. I told her flat out that she is wrong for punishing the entire class for several students whom she does nothing to any other day when they deserve it. I didn't yell or anything, just told her that I was tired of her not dealing with these kids, and then getting frustrated and giving me hours of busywork-What do you do about a teacher who can't control her class?
This is why evaluating teachers is helpful to school adminstrators if they want to keep a teacher around or bring them back. I would check out www.ratemyprofessor.com or ratemyteacher.com and leave an evaluation about this teacher and encourage your friends to do the same and it's annonymous so nobody knows who said what.What do you do about a teacher who can't control her class?
I'm a teacher. I'll tell you that you need to have a serious conversation with your principal. Don't waste time with a counselor. Be honest, up front, and don't hide the fact that you are not only concerned about the goings on in the class, but you are also concerned about your grade and your future.





How long has this person been teaching? New teachers can often be intimidated by students. I know it sounds weird, but it's true. I've been teaching for 14 years, and I've seen it several times.





If the principal can't or wont do anything about it, then request to be transferred to another class if you can find one that will suit your needs.





On behalf of all teachers that really try to reach out to their students, but won't put up with any BS, I want to wish you luck. If your teacher won't lookout for you and your learning, then you'll have to look out for yourself. Good Luck!
