A work colleague and I were evaluating another of our instructors. This is called "peer evaluation" where two teachers enter a classroom and sit in the back and observe the teaching styles of the other teacher. We have to do it once each year.

So we're sitting in there, and I notice out of the corner of my eye that my colleague keeps doing something with his hands (he's sitting right next to me). So I look, and...the man is picking his nose and spreading the..uh.."leavings" on an open handkerchief in front of him. There they were, all laid out there right in front of him, and I just wanted to hurl. And he kept doing it. I tried to ignore him, but once you see something like that, it's like trying to ignore an elephant in the same room with you. To quote Roseanne Rosanna Danna (SNL), "I just wanted to DIE!"

The only thing I could do was wrap up my portion of the eval as quickly as possible and get the heck out of there. Now, whenever I think about my co-worker, my stomach starts turning. [img]graemlins/1puke.gif[/img]

Should I have intervened, or was I right to try to ignore the behavior? Whatever it was, that was completely unprofessional on his behalf. [img]tongue.gif[/img]
