    That is highly inappropriate. I am an AP at a HS and we have
    hired many teachers from surrounding districts because we do
    not tolerate that behavior and teachers want/need the support.
    We expect that students respect the adults on campus. More work
    for admin??? Yes. For a bit, until they realize that we are
    consistent. Sorry that you had to endure that from admin. It
    gives us a bad name.
