the other day in gym, we were playing softball. i'm not very athletically inclined, if you know what i mean. i was up to bat and i like hit the ball and i screamed. my gym teacher goes 'i think she has issues' and she said this in front of the whole class. i asked her what she meant and she goes 'well when ever you get pressured or have the spotlight on you, you scream and flail your arms around, that's just one of your issues.' i didn't really think anything of this, but now the more taht i think about it, it is making me upset.
is this an appropriate thing to say to me [a 13 year old] ?
and i'm thinking of having my mom call her, would this be a good idea.
missmanda answered Saturday July 8 2006, 10:54 pm: yes, that definetly was not appropriate for her to say. she's there to teach you about sports and all that jazz, not to tell you whats wrong with you mentally. i think it's a good idea if you get your mother involved, the teacher needs to learn to have respect for her students.

orphans answered Saturday June 24 2006, 3:06 am: Well this is a tuffy. Could you tell if she was serious or not? If she was, yes I would do something..because that's not something she should be saying to a kid. Atleast TELL your mom about it so she can decide what do to. Hope I helped!

orphans answered Friday June 23 2006, 2:03 pm: Having your mom get involved would just make the situation more awkward. Maybe your gym teacher was just kidding. If you are postive that the gym tacher wasn't kidding than, yes, get your mom to talk to the gym teacher and explain to the gym teacher yourself that it was embrassing and it hurt your feelings. I'm sure the gym teacher will understand and won't do it again. If she continues to harrass you though, then get the principal involved or ask to switch to another gym class.
Good Luck :] [ orphans's advice column | Ask orphans A Question ]

ChOcOLoLo answered Wednesday June 21 2006, 4:05 am: Hey there! I believe that your teacher is possibly being sarcastic and doesn't mean it in an offending way. Is this the first time you've had this gym teacher? Does she always make these kinds of comments? If yes, wait out the season or school year, and if she still continues to make these types of derisive comments, then you may have to talk to your administrators, possibly your counselor first. She's probably joking, and every teacher has their own way of communicating with their student, and we have to just be considerate of it. If in any way this teaching style of hers is degrading or hurting you in any way, then discuss it with your mom and she may have to call her. I sincerely hope this works out! Take care always...

confusedbabii answered Tuesday June 20 2006, 8:48 pm: yes, you can have her mom call her. or your principal. it's inappropriate for teachers to say those kinds of things. and she'll probably get a warning and teachers can also get suspenion if she does it again.
