I also have never ridiculed or criticised a colleague in front of 
students, but incompetent or uncaring teachers are certainly the 
topic of discussion in many a staff room, and most (in my school 
anyway) are reported to the adminstrators, who implement an 
improvement plan - and everyone knows it. Is Hogwarts so different 
from a muggle school that staff members would show respect for a 
teacher who does not deserve it?
