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.

EEEEEEEEEEW GROSS! [img]tongue.gif[/img]
I dunno, I guess I might have done what you did, but maybe it would be a good idea to let mr Booger know that it's not socially acceptable behavior and my gross out the students, as well as his colleagues. BLECH!

That's beyond sick (wipes hurl off of monitor). What can you do? At least he didn't eat them.

Maybe he's doing a thesis on booger collections, hoping to get published? Maybe Pickit Books is interested... [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]
Your right, that is really disgusting. [img]tongue.gif[/img] I don't know how you could have tactfully mentioned it to him. Maybe you should have said, "Are you going to eat all those yourself or did you bring enough for everyone?"

The trouble is, the guy is in his fifties. [img]graemlins/wow.gif[/img] He's already got the reputation of being rather...er, "off" as we say it. This little episode clinches it for me.
Oh, yah, right, like I could have said something like that to him, Ronn, without upchucking myself! LOL!!! -Saz

Saz, I don't know what you could've done in that situation. It's just too bad you're always going to think of that whenever you see him.
