math teacher
lately ive been having trouble with my math teacher. First off, he has an attitude and could seem to careless wether I pass or not. I try to ask questions, but sometimes he won't call on me or will make me wait for longer then ten minutes. On a progress report he said I needed to seek extra help, but getting him to stop and work with me in a helpful way is very difficult. Those are all things I could work around, I suppose, but it gets worse. Once when answering a question, he wasn't happy with my tone of voice (i wasn't cheery enough for math class?) and wanted me to have a better attitude and made me re say the question. He gives inprofessional comments like today when I was in a bad mood about the work I was doing (was not acting innapropiate to him in any way) he said he has a younger granddaughter and hopes she doesnt turn out like me and that I act like everything in life is a chore. He doesn't know me outside of math class and has no right to judge me.
I talked to my mother and she wants to call the school, but I really dont want him to dislike me any more. What do I do? Let my mother call? Or just ignore it? I want to talk to him myself but I dont think I could do it without crying, because this realy upsets me.

TRUST ME- if he dislikes you more after parents calling, he will NOT show it. But try talking to your guidance counselor first. Tell her or him you have serious problems, it's really interfering with your academics and you don't feel like it's a positive environment. Make sure you give examples of things he's said. If you don't notice a change, let your parents call. When a kid makes a complaint about a teacher being unprofessional, it's a huge deal. You do NOT deserve to be treated that way, and when your parents (the tax payers!) make a point, the school will not ignore it, and he'll be notified that if there are more complaints from you or your family, it can put his job in jeopardy. I went through the same thing when I was in high school. Finally I talked to my guidance counselor and my parents called and even though the teacher HATED me, she never bothered me again. In fact, she seemed a little scared of me! If you let it go, he will keep doing it to students long after you, you need to make it known to him that his actions do not go without consequences.

You could ask your mom to set a conference with you in attendance. That way, you can say your piece and also defend yourself if he tries to come off like this doesn't happen in class.
I wouldn't take extra help from him, though. If you need math help, surely you can find someone at school who is good at math and willing to help you out.
He's obviously quick to say you need help, but unwilling to see that you receive it.

You sould go to your school counselor about it. She/he aren't allowed to tell other people who you are, but they CAN tell the principal that the teacher is treating a CERTAIN student unfairly. Goodluck! :]
