Staff acting in an unprofessional manner

The staff at Rhodes Junior High put up with A LOT. They are constantly be bullied, threatened, tested, cussed at, etc. So, what I have come to notice and what I see the majority of teachers doing is taking on the dictator or authoritarian style approach to teaching. It's their way or the highway and they will scream, yell- whatever it takes- at the kids to demand the respect they deserve. They become "hard" individuals, something I just can't be- it's not in me. I've seen and heard them stoop down to the students' level and talk to them in the same way that the students talk to the teachers- which is completely unacceptable and to say it is unprofessional is an understatement. The other teachers have invited me several times to eat lunch with them in the break room. The two times that  I have gone to join them, they things they say and talk about were extremely offensive to me and I was, to be brutally honest, shocked and horrified at the things they were choosing to say and discuss. I have since decided to eat alone and just enjoy the quiet in my own room.
