The manner you adopt, when you talk about a teacher to other teachers.  

Answer:

We are always very guarded in voicing our opinions about a teacher when we talk to other teachers. First of all, we are never very sure that our comments about a teacher will not be passed to him/her by others. We always have this lingering doubt that, after all, .these teachers work together and their work culture demands to be interactive with their colleagues. Sometimes, we come across some teachers who ask mis-leading questions about other teachers as we saw in the lesson The Browning Version'. Frankly, it appears as if Frank was restricting Taplow to pass uncharitable comments on Crocker-Harris but, in fact, he wanted him to give a comprehensive report of Crocker-Harris.   In similar circumstances, sometimes we lose our guard and say things about other teachers that may or may not be appropriate. One thing that all of us should understand is that before passing negative comments on our teachers', we have to ensure whom we are talking to.
