| Generally in my life I've had teachers that were really mean or really nice, but I never had one that was both. My math teacher seems to be a very nice person out of class, but in class she can be pretty harsh. For example... I failed (along with most of my other class) a math test. She was offering an extra credit assignment for those who got a C or lower, so I gladly took it and finished it for homework. Sense not everyone in my class got one, I figured the people who did would just hand them to her today. I did so, inquiring to her if this was the right thing to do and she just looked at me funny and started talking, making my question sound as if I was a complete dumbass. If there's one thing I hate, its being looked down upon without reason. This is when I started to get a little mad. She then told me in a very impolite manner to go ask the people around me before I bug her again. She has told me to do this once before after I asked a question similar to this one, so I told her that, "I'm not asking the other kids around me, I'm asking you. You're the teacher." I said this with a slight attitude, but not nearly enough to get in trouble. After all of this, she didn't even answer my damn question. I took my seat with a frown, thinking that it was all over. Hardly. She opened the class by telling EVERYONE what had just happened, and how you should NEVER, EVER, NEVER, EVER bug a teacher sitting at their desks before class... Or during... Or after. Luckily she didn't use names, or I'd have stood up and class and cussed at her. After all this was over and class had offically started, I went back up to her and explained why I gave her the assignment directly (my reason was that not everyone got them). She smiled at me and told me it was alright, then gave me help with parts of the assignment I didn't fully understand. She was... nice about the whole thing then. What the hell? As you can see, this woman is usually nice, but God-forbid you ask her any questions! My question was not at all stupid. A simple 'yes' or 'no' would've been good! Teachers shouldn't be this crazy in middle school! I bet I've got a lot more comin, though... Its not just me either. I've seen her do this to other kids. Anyways, I later learned that another student asked her the same thing, so thats why there was a speech. Still, she overreacted. Teacher/student relations have alwasy been important to me. Outburts like this can seem harmless, but they build up tention. If these continue, my grades could be at stake (more than they already are). Any advice of what I should do if this happens again? Or any advice in general? |

Here's a great idea, next time she does it, pull out your trusty sidearm and blow her brains away against the blackboard! Or actually, just tell her to get over it. I've never had any teacher who was upset with being asked questions before or after class, most are even fine with being asked questions before school.  |

| Yeah,t here's teachers that get upset if you ask them questions. Those teachers just shouldn't be teachers. If they are then they are usually worn out teachers who want nothing to do with the way they teach. Just ask her when she's the nicest. If you have to ask her out of class, or anything like that then do it when she's not being as bitchy. | |||

| Heh I'm sure you'll learn in time Snika that there are assholes and there are nice people. Sometimes nice people act like assholes and vice versa. Just learn to get used to it and try not to get upset over how people view you or react to you. Chances are she was in a bad mood, or was trying to concentrate on something and you distracted her. Wait till you get a job... oh boy. | |||

| Sounds like a total bitch. This is the point where you bring a large butcher knife to school, hide it in your jacket, and when she's alone,  .Actually, you'll pretty much have to get over it. It sucks, I know, but deal with it. They're higher up on the food chain. They have authority over you. You'll get your time soon enough.... |

| Is it not possible that she was having a bad day just like anyone else here? Maybe she planned on making an announcement to the whole class about it, and was annoyed that you (and possibly others) didn't have the patience to wait. I'm sure she knew you were just making sure you got the points, but she's human. Give her a break. |

| I would have given her a break and let it be, but she had told me to 'ask the people around you' once before. It really burned me that she did it twice. I mean, its like she doesn't want people to ask her anything. Anyways, I had a meeting with her after class to try and figure her out. She seems to have catergorized all kids who ask questions into the 'people who don't listen' group. I may not listen some of the time, but I swear she didn't say a word about this assignment. Ahh well, I'll just work on some handy comebacks for next time.  |

"Handy comebacks" ? Keep in mind she's a teacher and you have to respect her. If you don't, what do you expect of her attitude back to you? Have some common sense.  Even if you don't like the way she does things, she's your teacher and it's something you have to deal with. |

Originally posted by Danielle Meh... Calm down. Didn't you see the tounge face? I wouldn't like break out 'yo mama' cracks on her. Do you take me for an idiot? ...On second thought, don't answer that. Anyways, I think I understand why she is nasty at times after the meeting. Some people have no tolerance, and I'll just have to deal with it. |
