This study provides an empirical look at verbal abuses experienced by teachers from students in public schools. We often hear about abuse of students, bullying of students, teachers' roles to stop the incidences of bullying and anti-bullying programs designed to protect students from bullying. However, how often is the teacher the victim of bullying in the form of verbal abuse? The purpose of this case study is to analyze the construct of teachers being bullied by students in order to shine light on this under-reported relational issue. A survey link was e-mailed to 250 participants aspiring to become administrators at a mid-southern university. The survey yielded a return rate of 100%. For this study, the specific measure used to analyze the data were descriptive statistics. The Ecological systems theory was used to ground this research. The findings confirmed 76% of the sample reported instances of verbal abuses encountered from students. Recommendations and implications for policy and practice are outlined in this paper.
