As for your question, yes, definitely turn your teacher in to the principal. She obviously has some mental issues that need to be addressed by professional help. Good thing that wasn’t a real fire. I’m sorry she is like that. Hope things get better!

Good luck.

The only thing I will say in the teacher’s defence (and it’s not much of a defence) is there may be some other stuff going on in their life. e.g illness or death in family, break up of a relationship, financial pressure etc. Of course none of this excuses their behaviour: you should still let their superior know, but it may explain their actions.

Is this teacher normally this way? Do they get angry often? Are they generally positive? You may also want to ask yourself, “Did my actions or attitude play a part in their losing it?”

All the best

If there really was a fire, you all could have died.
