  • i faved this before you asked

  • My 8th grade teacher hates me. Well, singapore is not like the u.s. singapore teachers bully us. My teacher is sarcastic to me. When i asked her is there any problem with the class hating me so much on Facebook, she told me to stop using social media. What is wrong with her????

  • @TheHakimdoublesaber

    The laws in Singapore may be different, but in the USA a teacher can be fired for comments like that and their lack of action to protect you. Tell her that, and tell the principal. If they all do nothing, talk to a lawyer who knows the laws of your country.

  • my 6th grade spanish teacher hated me. She use to toss a ball around and the person with the ball would answer. She tried to bean me from point black range once and I caught it like inches away from my face it was an amazing catch... didn't know the answer to the question though.

  • @betterdrugsthanyours

    You should try to bean her back ;-)

    Maybe not. If she does something like that, Stop, and calmly ask, Why did you do that?

    Sometimes naming a behavior is enough to stop it or understand the situation.

  • Thanks!

  • Hey art, you saw my comment earlier, yeah she hates me. Well first i decided not to go to an optional lunch thing, its for cooking class, i didnt choose, but while she was there, she was making a comedy skit about me, she said i never do anything right, she was mocking me, saying i sound retarted, saying all you guys should hate him! And she went on to talk about somebody else, calling him a FAT ASIAN!! Im pretty sure thats illegal..... She also mocks me when im there

  • @The2kgen

    If your statement above is accurate, then yes, it is illegal.

    .

    If this is true, there were witnesses. Write down what you saw and heard, get witnesses to sign it that they too agree with your observations. If you get this, then you can get action.

  • MY teacher made fun of me today in front of the whole class... he said you should be a water boy studies are of no use for you ... I swear to GOD one day when i ll become something I will come back to him and tell him LOOK what I have become.

  • @SuperAfrofreak

    It is not right and possibly against the law for a teacher to tease a student like that. In NJ they could be fired. If you are brave point this out to them. If not, bring it to the attention of a guidance person or an administrator.

    It's NOT COOL and it's not right.

    Be a success, work hard, but never go back to that jerk or he will say he motivated you to become great. Be great because YOU want to be great.

  • I dont really know if its her or him but.. in 7th grade i was a little bit immature, and i was messing around in gym and then i was suspended for 4 basketball games, and that was last year, this year im part of the football team and there was a situation where the team had gotten in trouble (part of the team) and the teacher had blamed me.. Then my health teacher didnt like me last year, but this year i have her for cooking, she clearly dislikes me, the counsler knows and classmatse, idk what2d

  • @The2kgen

    I think you need to get the guidance person to find out for you. Maybe they can talk to the teacher and find out and figure out a solution. Their may be things you are doing you are not aware of. Keep a low profile, and let the councilor figure it out and ear their salary.

  • My teacher hates me i can tell because we talked 1 on 1 and he said he doesn't know how long he can trust me and he anoyes me what can i do?

  • @AliandJess1

    You need to see things from his point of view.

    Why does he not trust you? What has happened? No one distrusts for no reason, so look at that first. Ask him if you need to.

    Is his annoying you a kind of joke or is he pushing you to work hard? A teacher that jokes with a student, is usually a good sign they feel comfortable with you. If he's pushing you or his mistrust of you is making an issue, you and he will need to talk about that. Maybe with a guidance counselor's help.

  • my teachers suck

    one teacher DISLIKES ME for no reason like...we dont agree on stuff and hes so laid back he basically gives no tests and no quizzes what so ever and the shit he grades isnt really "graded" he always gives me a low grade

    hate him with all my gut

  • @pary16

    You should see my comment below. You probably need to do the same thing if you are looking for a change.

    Talk to your guidance counselor to speak to that teacher on your behalf and find out what the problem is. Then a solution can be found possibly.

    It is RARE that it is 100% the teacher's fault. Make sure you look to your own behavior as well and see where you might be making the situation worse too. Again, your guidance counselor may be able to help.

  • @MuscleTeenFlex

    Maybe you need to seek out another teacher she is friends with. Find out what's the problem. Is it you or is it something outside of school. Lay low, don't confront her. Do your work and leave her be.

    She may be going through personal trauma, or you may be annoying her in ways you do not understand. Try to find out another way and do what you can to make it better.

    You can also go to your guidance person and ask them to contact the teacher for you and find out what to do.

  • Sorry, about the glitch. I'm just wondering, especially in ballet, is she being hard on me because she's sees a potential my other teacher tells me about, or is she just singling me out?

  • @MimisaysRAWR

    Some teacher's believe when they see a talented student they need to be more strict to see if they REALLY have the talent. I don't feel this approach is the best, but it is out there.

    Maybe after class you can talk to them one on one and ask in a kind and genuine way why they are being more strict with you. That you want to be the best you can be. But do they feel you are not as good as you may think? Ballet is expensive, tell them you want to know if you are investing correctly

  • @ArtOfTeaching After talking to one of her previous students, she's hard on everybody. (she's a great teacher, I was just wondering) ty for your tips

  • Sorry glitch. I take ballet classes and my other teacher really likes me, but I feel like my new teacher is really hard on me. Even though some people aren't doing this or that, I feel singled out; but there are moments when she does tell me I'm good, which is rare in classes but..help?

  • @MimisaysRAWR

    I do not understand what you need help with.

    Some teachers are more strict than others. Some praise their students, others can be a bit cold. Every person you encounter, like a boss, will be different. You will learn how to deal with them. Some you can be friendly to, others you need to be all about business.

  • i am asian and i was in physics and it was 1 minute to the bell and the teacher said if you wan to to the homework for tomoro but i didnt so i put my books in my folder and i went to get my jacket and he gave me speech saying he was the boss but 15 min before the bell a white boy went to get his jacket and the teacher said nothing, the bell sounded i walked out of the class but the teacher told me to get back in class and he didnt tell me to go but i was not in his class anymore. THE BELL RANG

  • @Akshayc331

    Well, one thing you can do is to annoy them a bit, and not leave class at all until they tell you to. Or ask them after everyone has left, "Do I have your permission to leave now?" This may annoy them a little bit but also show them that you are complying with their rules, and maybe how unrealistic their rules may be.

  • I live in Asia. The culture here is completely different, many of our teachers here (In fact almost all of them) think or feel that respect from their students is a given and that they arbitrarily deserve respect from all of their students. If a student goes against what a teacher has said, regardless to whether or not it was wrong or unfair, they label us as " Undisciplined " and punish us. I'd give anything to have a real teacher who can be more open minded and understanding like you are.

  • @justakidin2011

    I went through a similar thing. Telling teachers the real situation during a quiet time may be helpful, or having your guidance person do it for you. Teacher's are empathetic people.

    Keep in mind too, teachers are under pressure to close the year out now. I am for sure. We have less time to be focus on personal stuff and have to get grades in and close out the year. Its frustrating and makes our jobs harder when kids get behind, BUT if we know why, it can be helpful.

  • wouldnt it be faster to switch out of that class and get a new teacher?

  • @mitch4942

    In the middle of the year, it is VERY rarely allowed. Not all teacher's of the same subject do it the same way or in the same order.

  • Today,i got a tell from my friends,that a teacher will be on me. I asked them why,and they were like "Oh only cause you asked the class diary,and your style was a little blunt.." I was like : What the heck?! How was my style blunt??

    The conversation was this,i remember it clearly.

    Me: Hi i'm sorry to interrupt the lesson but i'd like to get the class diaries (we call them diaries in Hungary)

    Teacher: We don't have the class diaries sorry

    Me: Okay thanks,bye

    what was blunt in this? Someone help:(

  • @Ragefire11

    I would not worry about it. If the teacher says something, just say you are sorry, but you didn't want to waste their valuable time so you made it short.

    No big deal. Really.

  • @ArtOfTeaching Thank you.

  • Hi, I wonder if you could help me. My Food Tech teacher seems to strongly dislike me.

    Firstly, this teacher is well-known for having favourites. I try really hard in her class, so I don't understand why she chose me to pick on. Once she told me off for writing an important note on my hand, when next to me there was a girl (who is one of her favourites) doodling rabbits on her hand.

    Secondly, when she is saying negative things to the class, she focuses on me. Also, sometimes she says thin

  • @BickyBrekkieBecky

    Maybe you can find a teacher that works well with you who can talk to your teacher. Sometimes that can help.

    Another thing you can do is write a sincere note to her. Express how you are trying and ask if she can tell you one on one what you can do to help make the situation better. It may not be your foault, or it may be something small you are not aware of. Your note should be as kind as possible and she may react well to that kind of mature approach. Good Luck!

  • @ArtOfTeaching

    Thank you so much!

  • My teacher hit me when he was sooo mad that I forgot my homework. I talked to the dean, but they didn't believe me.

  • my teacher hates me, out of 40 students im the only 1 who got a fail mark..

    im the one who taught my classmates on our lessons whenever they can't understand it, i got high scores than them, i passed the exams and more than a half of the class got failing grades. At the end of the semester, I was totally shocked when my classmates passed eventhough they don't have pre-final and final exams+more absents +fail on all quizzes they were losing hope.

    my teacher intentionally did that. coz he hates me

  • @chesster423

    I see 2 options here.

    #1. The grade is an error and you should ask the teacher about it and ask to review your grades so you can see for yourself.

    #2. Seek out the assistance of a guidance person, or an administrator to check it out.

    Try #1 First, in case there was simply something you missed.

    Good Luck.

  • @ArtOfTeaching

    i tried, but he keeps on saying that i dont have a book, all over.. there are only i think 7 out of 40 students have a book.. he already said not directly during our midterm, that he will absolutely fail students that he don't like.. i know it was me, bcoz from the start his eyes are raging everytime he looks at me.. the reason was when I ask question about the topic. I think it was an insult to him, he dont want student to ask

  • @chesster423

    Looks like this will not be easy. You may need your parents to speak on your behalf. It may be that you are not asking in the way he wants or he is just unable to understand. If he can explain it to your parents, then they can to you. OR if they spot a problem, they can help solve it.

    Good luck.

  • @ArtOfTeaching

    i just accept the reality that people hate me, no need to worry sir... just right now, another teacher threatens me that he can fail me whenever he wants.... what's so bad is, it is my major subject :( i'm so depressed right now, that i even think to stop to go to school forever.. it's like i'm unwanted on this planet.

    why teachers are so arrogant? only few are friendly :(

  • @chesster423

    Chester, it is obvious you are bright and able to communicate here. It may be that your approach to these people is "pushing their buttons" or pissing them off. If it was one person then it might be them, but 2 generally means YOU may be the one that needs to re-examine your approach.

    I do not know if you have ADD or ADHD etc or maybe you have some communication issues verbally. My suggestion, which it seems you have ignored is to have your parents help & take responsibility.

  • @ArtOfTeaching

    i dont know what is ADD/ADHD, im just shy, silent, not getting easily mixed up with others, and sometimes alone..maybe I have some communication issues as what you've said :(

    well thanks, I used to be like this since i was a child, no worries..

    the problem about me is, i choose to be in silence than to fight what is right :(

    Thanks ArtofTeahing, im now relieved now that i have shared my thoughts..

    now im moving on once again.

  • @benbrez116 , Most kids who are ADHD with ADD are "a Handful" so don't get too upset about that. He is tryng to communicate to your parents his own frustrations, teaching ain't easy ;-)

    I think maybe you need to have a little daily homework notebook to write assignments in it, and show it to the teacher before you leave the class to be sure it is accurate. If he says yes, then what is in the book is now agreed to by both of you. Less chance for a problem.

    Good luck.

  • I try to be as nice to teachers as possible.

    Sometimes I can come off as rude, but I don't recognize that behaviour because I also have Asperger's disorder, and I really do try to recognize it.

    I once had this teahcer that hated me for no reason at all.

    She's always snap at me and glare at me during class, and she'd always check for the smalles things like if I wrote down the homework for the next class.

    If I didn't do it, she'd punish me.

    I always tried to be nice but it never helped :/

  • I see two approaches to this.

    #1. Remind your teacher that you have Asperger's, and you are trying your best to be a good kid, but it is difficult for clinical reasons and you hope they will find in in their heart to be patient. (A little guilt can help ;-)

    #2. Decide to take a back seat in class, by remaining quiet, doing the work but only speaking up when spoken to. Their will be people in our lives we will simply not get along with, maybe they are one of them. Do your own best.

  • I wish you were my teacher...

  • thx 4 the advice. wut can I do to get my teacher's trust back. cos he found me downloading things the skool doesn't allow onto my skool laptop. i think i am getting suspended or getting a saturday detention. wut can I do to?!?! i now think he actually hates me cos he's told the headmaster and like 100 more teachers. plzzzzz help.

  • @HALOKILLJOY5: Looks like you may need to cool it a bit and lay low. Stop breaking the rules in class and slowly the teacher will begin to trust you again. I am not sure you can get out of detention, you may need to just do it.

    Before things get too bad, apolojize in a note to the teacher, say what was wrong with what you did. Admit your mistake and how you plan to correct the problem.

  • My teacher always picks on me and insults me in front of my friends! She is always mean to me and yells at me for even the slightest things. Once I told her that someone threw out a test that had an F on it, she yelled at me in front of the whole class. I'm not the "A+ Student" but I felt awful when she gave me a C on my report card when a friend of mine got a B+ when we always work together and have the same exact answers on almost every thing! Please Reply!

  • @FiskavKunde :

    #1. Calm Down. Take a deep breath.

    #2. Have your parents contact the guidance department to review your grades to see if they are true.

    #3. Always keep your work as evidence. See if you average everything to a different number.

    #4. If there is a real problem, try some of the solutions I suggest in my video.

  • Yes, but as a teacher it is their duty to be in charge of their feelings and to show respect to their students as we are expected to show them. They are not there to make friends or concentrate on one person. They are there to help the class as a whole.

  • @EmmyRossum4eva ...And teachers are people and people WILL make mistakes and I hope good teachers learn from these mistakes and make changes.

    I know I have made my share, and if I have made a mistake in front of the class I apologize in front of the class. I lead by example.

  • i am in band , i am the section leader and my classmates that are in my section were talking to my teacher , my teacher told us we were pathetic . when i stood up for them i was called out in front of 60 kids in band do you have any advise

  • @cowgirlrodeo50 : I would write a note saying that you found the comments insulting and unfair. If this is a common problem, maybe consult a guidance person or your parents to speak with the teacher.

    Keep in mind, teacher's are people too and can say the wrong thing in the heat of the moment or out of frustration. Teaching kids is not easy.

  • Honestly, I wish you were one of my teachers.

    This one teacher I have tries to be cool/funny and makes jokes where all the girls laugh and I just sit there and stare at him, by the way, there are only two other males in the class. I must've got on his bad side at some point or another, which makes no sense because I never even talk in his class!

    Naturally, I just cope and make the best of what I got, but it seems like he's just out to get me.

  • My teacher gave me a c in their class because I forgot an essay while my friend got an a and didn't hand in the exact same essay.

    On my report card it said in the comments section for that class " ( my name ) demonstrates great writing and reading comprehension skills.

    But forgot a essay.

    Am I the only one that thinks that this seems fishy?

  • After class, be calm and non-emotional, have your friend there too, and point out that they got the "A" and you didn't and both had missed that essay.

    See what happens... But be mature about it.

    Good Luck.

  • Don't get flustered. Call him over when you have a real need. Realize that all people will have others they get along with and others they do not. It may be that the other groups need more help and he feel's your's is doing ok?

    It is OK to ask though. Tell him "I feel like you are ignoring our group, is there something we could be doing better?"

    Do not get judgemental or accusatory, stay non emotional and try not to give "attitude." Be honest and open.

    Good Luck.

  • My teacher really hates me , becuase he hated my brother and they were just constantly fighitng.

    Im just hoping i dont get in his set next year as it is for GSCEs.

  • i need help

    my teacher honestly dislikes me

    1) she docks marks of my test, and i get it corrected by her. (once my mark went from a 60% to an 80)

    2) she called me a slob" to another student when i wasn't there. (gossiping about another student to a student is very wrong. I am not even a slob! i am organized

    3) i really really want to get honors for grade 8, but i dont think she likes me so i wont get it :(

    but i really want to

    my mom might talk to her, will that be good?plz help,thanks!

  • A parental conversation may be helpful. Try to see things from the teacher's side too, stay un-emotional if possible.

    Just stick with the facts, and let your parents do the talking.

    Good Luck.

  • great video. I am actually going through some problems with a professor of mine. I plan to talk to them first but also have a meeting scheduled with higher ups. Your video is very right in that you shouldn't go behind the teachers back but rather talk to them and if it persists then look higher. Most things tend to be a miss-communication and I'm hoping that's what my problem is right now but if it is not then I plan to drop the course and take it with someone else.

  • A Mature response, I am sure things will work out.

    Even if you have to drop the course, I can see YOU will be fine.

  • He publicly attacks and humiliates students, refuses to help them, and routinely gives out zeros on assignments even if you did them, because if you didn't understand something he feels you didn't do the assignment.

    I feel completely helpless. The office refuses to do something, as does the guidance department.

    I can't fight with him because all he does is put me down. He twists my words and tries to make me sound stupid in front of the class. Ultimately, it seems he's out of his mind.

  • I see a few options:

    1. Bring your parents in for a conference with the teacher.

    2. Ignore his rude behavior, do what is necessary to pass, stay quiet, do not "invest yourself" into pleasing or dispealing him. Just "get by" and get it over.

    3. Have students who feel the same way create a petition to ask the administration for a "round table" discussion on how things could improve for both students & the teacher.

    Generally these things are not 100% one-sided, empathise with him too.

  • Thanks for the advice, It's greatly appreciated. I can understand some of the problem with him, although I'm not sure I feel it's an acceptable reason. Basically, he is a very smart man and since it is an honors course, he feels that the students need to be up to a certain expectation. However, he also teaches the same class at the AP level and he also teaches and the same course at a university.

    So I can understand if he thinks we're not as smart as he is. Thanks again for your help.

  • The sad thing is that I did approach him on a 1 on 1 level and stayed after school. It was there that he told me i must be the "hope of the family", and that I know "nothing from nothing". After attempting to reason with him, I tried to go over work I didn't understand. He said I didn't know anything and that he wouldn't help me since he isn't a private tutor.

    Although he has his few favorites, he is generally cruel and unreasonable to most students. He has made students cry as well.

  • See above.

  • Man I wish I had you for a teacher; all my teachers do is hand out work and tell us to do it. They do not even explain, nor do they care for us as people. I feel you care very much about your students, I wish there were more out there like you. If any teachers are watching this, please take his advice.

  • thnx for advice. But i will not make more problems in my life.

  • If you have a secret to avoid problems... please share ;-)

    As the Dali Lama says, "Life is painful, but once we accept that, it is bearable"

  • My teacher seriosly hates me!

    He picks his favorites and he picks the ones to pick on. I am actully on the unlucky list. :'( After school each day, I find myself crying. I don't see what I do wrong at all, I do my best on tests, And like mcphantic80 \, he is giving me lower grades then the people around me wjo have the exact same answers. I am scared to talk to him alone, he doesn't make me feel comfortable with going to school. Please reply, What in the world should I do!?!

  • Find a person in your guidance department to speak on your side with the teacher. Express what you feel is not fair, show a sample of someone who got the same answer right but you got wrong.

    Maybe you are missing what is considered right... Check it out, get help if you need it.

  • First of all, thank you so much for the vedio. I have been running around confused in school because of this exact type of thing. My guitar and theory teachers have been acting strange towards me lately. I usually get good grades and rarely talk or disturb their lessons, maybe Im just being extra sensative but everytime i ask for help they reply harshly while sighing all the time as if i was wasting their time. I started learning the cello but my second day learning it, i asked for help and

  • Some teachers lose their patience easily with students that seem needy or take up too much time. Part of what we do is serve ALL the students we have in our room. Sometimes there may simply be a personality conflict too. Teachers are people with failings and strengths.

    I know I try to reach out to a few students every year. Generally this is just 1 or 2 students a year, but if every teacher did, we would be able to help more kids.

    You may need to give them some space for a while.

  • You seem to know stuff, so if you could reply that would be cool.

    At the end of the last school year, i admit that i was misbehaving in english class. This year, I have not been as bad, and when she gives us back our homework, I really feel I deserved a B but she gave me a C-. And one time we were writing a letter and the guy beside me made the exact same mistakes I did, he got 7/10 and i got 4/10.

    i feel like shes grading me lower because she hates me?

    giv us a rpely!

  • 3 Ideas:

    1. You can try having a "grown-up" conversation with the teacher, expressing what you said here, you use to be trouble, but now you are trying to be better. Then bring up the grading thing another time.

    2. Approach the teacher about the work. DO NOT BLAME THEM for the bad grade but ask, "How can I do this better next time, what should it have looked like?" If it was OK, they may see that and change the grade.

    3. Show them your paper and your friend's. Ask, what was your problems?

  • i wish our teachers were like you:)1 of r teachers punishes us severely

  • the other day i got in trouble and it was my first day back from being sick for 2 days. we had a really mean sub and she jumped on to me for every thing and i was already haveing a bad day. so for some reason i asked her if she likes big macs btw her name was ms mac and she i guess took it wrong and gave me in school suspension instead of after school detention or break detention i was wondering if she was being un fair or if i deserved the suspension

  • Well, you were rude. I think you know it. If they are a bit fat, and you made that big Mac comment, they may have taken it badly. I would write an apology, make a copy and give it to the principal as well so they know you tried to do the right thing. Maybe they will go easy on you.

  • I rlly wish u were my teacher 4 yr 9 German my teacher told my form room teacher tht I was the most arrogant obnoxious student she'd eva met nd she reffered me,my teacher didn't believe it tho so she ripped up the refferal. I still had 2 write 4 pages of lines saying 'i must not be rude to teachers' ahh she rlly does h8 me but I h8 her 2 so I don't wanna tlk 2 her 1 on 1 hehe

  • i wish you were my teacher when i was in high school. you seem very concerned about your students and their issues;)

  • One teacher treats me really badly in my school like today when I said hi to him he said shut up and I said "exuse me" and he's just like "yah your an obnoxious child an you really are rude". Now let me tell you this guy doesn't even teach me and he has said this. He is an older fellow, more strict and all but I'm afraid to go tell him how I feel and I dont really want to tell the principal on him. Please help me

  • Not all teachers should be teachers. My advice is to steer clear of him, keep your cool and be friendly to someone who appreciates it.

  • Thanks for the helpful advice I wish you were my teacher!

  • ok well my teacher called me a dummy and i dont know if i should tell the princeipal. should i or not?

  • Technically it's not cool to call a kid a "Dummy."

    BUT context is IMPORTANT.

    If it was meant as an insult to make you feel bad, as a kind of verbal attack, then it is WRONG and might need to be addressed.

    If they were having a bad day and it was once, well... I'd cut them a break. We all have crappy days where we say things we wish we didn't.

    SOME teachers can joke with their students in this way to build humor and irony. Be sure too you are not being overly sensitive.

    Good Luck.

  • pls listen to this. my teacher hates me becos;-

    1.) i dont flatter/praise her

    2.) i am gud at a lot of things

    3.) i dont gossip, i am not like her

    i cant talk to her either, she just ignores it. she tries to put me down as much as she can. AND, she makes it really obvious so its not like im imagining things.

    pls tell me what i shud do....

  • Maybe the way you spell "gud" tick's her off!? ;-)

    My real advice "wud" be to talk to her after class or after "schul" and be honest and non-emotional about your perceptions.

    Ask her if it "wud" be better for both of you for you to switch out of her classes... In most cases, she will say no and communicate better, knowing you cared enough to talk 1 on 1.

    "Grown-up" chats are a great way to make things better. Try not to approach it as an attack or accusation.

    "Gud" Luck.

  • sorry i was in a hurry.

    Ill surely take your advice.

    Once again,

    thankyou

  • I want you as a teacher, you really understand us!

  • I have the same problem!!

    :(

  • It may be helpful to read all the comments on this video, much advice is found there too.

  • teachers don't hate anyone but they do play favorites! ♥

  • Two of the teachers I had really did hate me. One of them completely ignored me as best they could. The other wouldn't help me no matter what I did. When I asked for help, they always said they would be right there. They never came to help me. I went in after school to get help and neve helped me. I got so tired of it that when one day when he told me to get to work, I told him off. I embarassed him in front of the whole class.

  • Teacher's are people too, they fail and succeed as we all do. Sometimes they need a reminder to pay attention.

    If it was an easy job, everyone would do it.

    It's too bad you were ignored, you seem to be the kind of student we as teachers need to support. You asked for help, and that is an important step... too bad they did not follow through.

    Keep trying, don't give up.

  • I find it odd that you say "talk to your guidance counselor". People ALWAYS say this. No one mentions that people's guidance counselor can occasionally be the problem.

    My GC is really irresponsible. She never turns in papers on time. She told one girl that she didn't deserve college. She has indeed been so late on papers that some of us cannot get our scholarships.

  • That is why I offer different posibilities. A Guidance Counselor is just one of many choices.

    Parents, other teachers, good friends, heck the lunch lady or Janitor...

    There are many posibilities to reach out... if you hit a brick wall, walk away or find a way around it.

  • My teacher hates me because when i say something on her teacher's pet about her, her teacher's pet tells it so my teacher is always scolding me.

  • Try not to give amunition to the "Teacher's Pet."

    See if you can be seated further away...

    If you are really doing things you should not... well...

    ...stop doing it. ;-)

  • thanks

  • Shadowstep6278, I had to remove your comment because it included a curse.

    Your comment claimed EVERY teacher and EVERY coach is out to get you and blame you for EVERYTHING...

    Odds are, you are going through a tough period of time and "Feel" like they blame you, but the reality is probably different.

    The common factor is that different people are having problems with you, pretend for a minute that SOME of their claims are true...

    No one is blameless, look at yourself, do what you can.

  • my language arts teacher like hates me. i want to hit her in the face but i no that would not be good. she is always in my face and when i ask for help she explains it but i dont get it because im dyslexic and she just uses really big words that i dont understand. and i dont know what to do? can you help?

  • You may need to help yourself here a bit. You say Dyslexic... If that is documented then you may have an education plan that the teacher is required by law to follow. Talk to the guidance office about that.

    If it is not documented, then you need to follow procedures to get that documented, then you will get the help you need and they cannot ignore your situation.

    Sometimes too, just saying to the teacher..."I'm sorry, but I just don't get this, can I come in for extra help?" might work.

  • my teacher started screaming at me when i told her that the security guard let me in her classroom to get my racquet . i had a game that day and she was nowhere to be found so after i had told her she freaked out and told me she would talk about the issue the next day.

  • Give her the name of the guard, don't get in an argument.

    It sounds like her reaction is out of balance, unless she told you not to go in, or something was stolen from the room and she's blaming you... ALSO it might be things have been stolen in the past and she does not want ANYONE in her room when she is not there.

    Let the guart speak for themselves, they had the key, they let you in. NOT YOUR FAULT. Stay calm, don't argue, don't put on an attitude and you should be OK.

  • Theirs this teacher i know hates me

    she is a woman and she ignores me, i think it was because i broke her pencil sharpener. i could not help it. but she thinks i did it

    shes a thai teacher (i am in a international school in thailand) and she is sensitive.i try to talk and she still ignores me. what should i do

  • Continue to be nice, maybe a small gift, or just ignore it and hope things get better.

    Teacher's are people, some are nice, some, not so much.

  • my teacher hates me because i'm sick alot but i get doctors notes and its all good with my dean. i try my best to make up the work in her class but she treats me different and she told my mom she was frustrated with the absences and made it sound like i was ditching. i'll try this with her today!

  • All teachers want their students to succeed. I have a student too who is out A LOT... it is Frustrating. It is hard to tell if it is real or if it is just laziness supported by the parents unwilling to be sure their child attends school.

    I would be more worried if the teacher didn't care at all... their frustration may be a sign that they feel helpless trying to see that you learn and pass. Try to communicate more if you can.

    Failing students is not something we like to do.

  • dude, i never said i wanted to put a nail into someones coffin, he insulted me first and me and my friend said a comeback and he cried

  • Sometimes kids lash out with insults when they themselves are in pain. Often the kids on the "outside" of popular groups have other issues that help make them an "outsider". If the kid cried because you insulted back, you either went overboard with your insult or the kid has some deep issues.

    Rather than "hitting back" with a comment, ignore them or reply with... "Wow, that was insulting, you must be in a lot of pain to lash out like that?"

    That sometimes shuts them up ;-)

  • hey, i got in trouble for making some kid cry and the teachers saying You and your friend have made this kid cry and sad i will be telling the principal."

    what can i do?

  • UM, how about not picking on people. Kids who get picked on a lot are at a much higher risk of suicide. Do you really want to be the one who puts a nail into someone's coffin???

    If you regret what you did, write an apology, give a copy to the kid and one to the teacher. Include in the letter how you too have been teased and how it made you feel.

  • I used this on my mom she forgave me and i was out of trouble thank you

  • Staying calm and owning up to your own part in the problem... is the maturity they look for and RESPECT.

  • thanks, but it didn't work on my teacher. i have this band teacher who keeps on denying that i am pretty good at playing.(ex- i could play amazing grace the second week i started playing clarinet) so, she always puts me in the back on the classroom, and tells me that i can't play in any of the concerts. I practice alot, and i just don't know why she dislikes me. but this video did help me for one of my other teachers. ^^ thanks

  • if you keep up with the practice, you'll surely play in a concert! When you believe in yourself the most is when the rest of the people start believing in you too, not the other way round

  • Bravo, Ditto!

  • didn work she gves me notes in my journal all the time wat can i do

  • Sometimes ya' just gotta read the notes and follow directions. If the notes are mean-spirited check with another teacher for a calm point of view.

    Don't assume teacher's hate anyone, sometimes they honestly just need to push students to do their best, and it is not always in the most friendly terms.

  • Story:

    I had a dance teacher in school who always tried to get on the good side of this really dancey girl. Me and some other girls danced just as much as this girl, but this girl got all the attention because she made a big deal of what a dancer she was.

    This girl got all the leads in recitals and stuff, so one day I approached the teacher after class about it. My heart was pounding, but she REALLY admired me for calling her out on "picking favorites" and I got the lead in the next show!!

  • BRAVO BRAVA

    Good Job standing up for yourself!

  • My H.E teacher doesn't like my friend Katie so I passed on this video and hopefully she will use your advice! The video seems very helpful :)

  • Thanks for the video. My one teacher dislikes me and I think it may have to do with my ethnicity becuase he always treats the students of the same ethnic group better than me and other people of my color. Is there anything I can do or am I in for a bad year?

  • hmmm... This is not an easy one. Maybe an anonymous note but worded kindly... "Some of your students think you treat them differently because of their color. I hope this is not true, please just think about it."

    DON'T hand write it but maybe leave in an envelope and drop in the office with his name on the cover, it will get there.

    If the problem persists, tell a teacher you trust, if that does not work you may need to see an administrator.

  • I tried to do the one on one thing, I didn't have the guts to do it. I think my teacher hates me TOO MUCH to even listen.

  • You will never know until you try ;-)

  • Well, she likes me now..or maybe hates me less...lol. Not by the one on one thing, but I got an A+ on this test of hers so now she hates me less....hopefully it gets better! :D

  • Keep in mind, Teacher's are paid to do a job and record what you do... I have studnets I like a lot who might still fail. Some I do not like so much who do well... Grades have little to do with my opinion of a person and I never take grades personally... most teacher's don't.

    It is a mistake to assume a failing grade has anything to do with how a teacher feels about you in most cases, but it is more a reflection of the work you didn't do well.

    Congratulate yourself for your "A+"

  • Please keep language "G" rated or I cannot approve comments.

    One comment I had to delete made a good point. Teacher's can be held liable for what they say. In this world of cel phones, EVERYTHING you say can be recorded and passed along.

    This can be bad if taken out of context, as a person with a grudge can "set you up." So be careful what you say and how you say it.

    This goes for both teachers AND students!

  • Hmmm... I am not a big fan of the word "ALL" when describing people, even teachers.

    I find MOST teachers became teachers for very good reasons, and SOME have lost their joy of teaching and might need to take some time off or quit.

    BUT teaching is maybe one of the hardest things to do, more-so because they often do not get the support or money they should, BUT that is not an excuse for taking it out on kids.

    Try to do the best you can and filter out the bad. It won't last forever.

  • I often had teachers that disliked me. I also believe that all teachers treat children horribly.  I have made a lot of videos on education. I understand your standpoint, but children are just slaves. It is disgusting that the child should ever have to do this.

  • What??

    ALL teachers treat children horribly??

    Most teachers become teachers because they love kids and want to help them. This just doesn't make any sense.

    I feel bad for you since you've obviously grown up in a very hate-filled environment that caused you to believe this, but I promise its not true.
