Prompt #3

At my current school I haven't seen anyone truly act in an unprofessional manner. However, I've witnessed it at some other schools I've been at before. For example at other schools I've seen some teachers gossip about other teachers and students especially in staff lounges. This is why I make it my business not to remain in the student lounge and engage in that kind of foolishness. I was once told by a retired educator and college professor to stay out of the copy room unless I necessarily have to go in there to make copies for my lessons I have to teach students. They also told me to stay out of the lounges and not to gossip because it could complicate situations and could jeopardize one's teaching career. For example, I once knew a teacher who was bad mouthing an administrator to other teachers and it got back to that particular administrator. Ultimately, this lead to this teacher being shown the door. Now I clearly see what this professor is talking about.
