Verbal Assault

Mr. Morales, known for his friendly and approachable demeanor, faced a tough year when one of his students’ parents started questioning his teaching abilities. It began with small criticisms during parent-teacher meetings, but soon escalated into aggressive emails and, eventually, an in-person confrontation. The parent accused him of being unfair and openly threatened him in front of the school staff. Shocked by the personal attack, Mr. Morales reported the incident, and the administration took immediate action, banning the parent from school property. While Mr. Morales appreciated the school’s support, the incident left him feeling vulnerable for the first time in his career. Despite the fear, he continued teaching, reassured by the swift actions taken by the school.
