Hidden Cultural Red Flags That Make School Emotionally Unsafe

Some toxicity isn’t loud: it’s quiet, subtle, and woven into the culture of a school.
 In Part 2 of the Toxic Schools Mini-Series, we’re talking about the emotional undercurrents that drain teachers’ confidence, joy, and mental health.

In this episode, we unpack:

  • Gossip, negativity, and cliques — the staffroom dynamics that make school feel tense
  • Micromanagement & lack of trust — when leadership watches every move instead of empowering teachers
  • Blame culture — fear-based environments where mistakes aren’t allowed

If your school feels emotionally heavy or “off,” this episode will help you understand why.


 This is the toxicity you feel even if you can’t always describe it.
