My teacher hates me


Question Posted Wednesday October 10 2007, 1:47 am

I have this teacher who I had last year, and now I have her again. And for some reason she's never liked me. I have no idea why, because teachers usually LOVE me... I'm a really good student, respectful, don't goof around, etc. But this teacher is always so mean to me and she keeps making nasty remarks. Like today was "hat day"... so I come into class wearing a hat, like everyone else, and the teacher says (in a mean voice), "ooooh, you think you look so cute, don't you?" And the other day I got a note during her class to leave early for a student council meeting, and she says to the class, "Well, EMILY has to leave now because SHE'S special!" It really hurts my feelings and embarrasses me and I don't know what to do. If I say something it will just make her hate me more, right? Is there anything I can do, or should I just try to ignore it?

You remind me a lot of how I used to be in grade school. I'm actually still the same way in college. I'm in Student Government and really involved on campus.

Like you, I absolutely HATE it when teachers pick on me or single me out. It is embarrassing and hurtful, I agree. But perhaps the teacher just wants to have fun or joke around with you... she might not realize the tone she is directing towards you.

Next time you have an Student Council meeting, if she says something about you being special, reply with a "But of course I am" or something to that effect with a smile/laugh. See her reaction. Is it a smile? Then she just wants to have fun.

I had a problem with one of my professors last year, and just saying things back to her in a humorous manner in class or going to her office to share a joke really helped her change her opinion of me.

Another thing to do is to tell her how you feel. Hey, it couldn't hurt, right?

haha... word..
well look honesstly if it was for me id probably give a attitude back cuz im not the kind of girl that would take crap ....
but in your case you seem like the kind of girl that doesnt know what to do .. so i say have one of your relatives. example your mother call her up and have a talk with her
OR:
you could go talk to your principle about this and tell your principle whats going on
i think its a good idea!

so you wont have to deal with this every second!!!!!!!!!!!


hope i helped

I say ignore her.

Nothing you have described is vicious or cruel. I would bet, more likely then her not liking you, you two just don't communicate well. You don’t ‘get’ each other’s style. Don’t let it stress you out.

The words she said are harmless, and it's very easy to think that someone dislikes us and then read everything they say through that belief, always convincing and proving to ourselves that they must hate us.

A good general rule for dealing with people who are your superiors, like your boss, parent, or teacher: Talk to them if you have a complaint about WHAT they said. Give them the benefit of the doubt if you simply don’t like the tone they said it in.

If this is really bugging you, you might try asking another teacher or guidance counselor for their advice on speaking to this teacher. They likely know her better then you do, and can tell you what they think is going on.

Well emily this is kind of a catch 22 situation. I would tell you to speak to a guidance counselor about possibly getting switched to another teacher who teaches that same class. And if there isnt one available, speak to the teacher about it, one on one. As a last resort, have your mother or father speak to her and let her know if it doesnt stop that the principal, superintendant will be notified. Good luck, and I hope it works out for you.
