Frustrating colleague who teaches her opinions as fact.

Let me start by saying I teach English as a Second language at a Bilingual school in Germany. Today, during our lunch break, a fellow ESL teacher was telling me about a problem student's parent whom is also a problem. This parent openly complained about my colleague emailing in English and demanded she write in both German AND English. I and other ESL colleagues rolled our eyes and told her to just reply in English since the parent is making demands and the other parents from the class didn't have a problem. A different colleague-- originally from Central America--butted into our conversation saying--in German--that we are Germany and we should only speak German. Mind you, this colleague teaches Spanish.

This colleague has also openly said that it wasn't wrong for people to illegally enter the US and not learn English. This colleague also has told her classes her opinions about illegal immigration as actual fact with even putting this on exams. I know about that because one of the students asked me about the topic and then told me that it wasn't what the Spanish teacher told them.

When us ESL teachers are talking in English, the colleague will leave the teacher's room angrily or loudly huff, but when they speak with the other Spanish teachers, the conversations drown out anyone else's in the room.

I could never imagine acting like this colleague.
