His attitude should be reported. Never assume what a person is saying but you can judge what they said and I see that as unprofessional.

That is a good question.  The fact she  is so curious shows that she's pretty smart.  I would sit her down and talk to her like a grown up.  Explain what happened.

Let me start out by saying that teachers are human and they have feelings too.  No matter how hard they try to be neutral, they can't help liking some students more than others.  Let's face it....some students are easier to get along with than others.  \n\nAs far as her not having time to listen to your woes, she doesn't... and technically she is not paid to.  She is paid to educate you.  Telling you to just shut up is probably not the right thing to say.  However, because she's human, she is allowed to make mistakes and become extremely frustrated when a behavior or distraction continuously gets in the way of her job. (educating you and your classmates)  \n\nI would suggest that you go to class every day, on time, and prepared to learn.  Pay attention to her during lessons, and ask intelligent questions.  At home, finish her assignments to the best of your ability.  If you do all those things, I can guarantee you will see your grade improve along with the way she treats you in class.  If she continues to be verbally abusive, THEN you can go to the proper authority and report her behavior.  Before you can complain about her, you have to make sure that there is nothing for her to say about you.\n\nRemember, you teach people how to treat you.  If you and your classmates have been giving her a hard time, she will give you a hard time right back.\n\nBy the way, she wouldn't happen to be an English teacher, would she?

Turning the note over to the principal was the right thing to do.  Do not encourage your friend to fight for you.  It'll just get her into trouble.  You should not fight either.  If these girls threaten you again, report them to the principal again.

No but I was accused of it.  That was really insulting, I mean its as if the teacher didnt believe I was capable of high calibre work so I must have cheated.  I was so angry honestly because I would never have done that and there I was having to prove myself when I'd never ever given anyone a reason to think that.  Im still holding a grudge obviously lol.  I never even got an apology after I showed tons of my rough work.

She has absolutely no charisma.  I think either you must not know what charisma is or you're talking about someone besides her.

A first grade teacher, Mrs Brooks was having trouble with \none of her students.\n\nThe teacher asked, "Johnny what is your problem?"\n\nJohnny answered, "I am too smart for the first Grade.\nMy sister is in the third grade and I am smarter\nthan she is! I think I should be in third grade too."\n\nMrs Brooks had enough. She took Johnny to the\nprincipal's office.\nWhile Johnny waited in the outer office, the\nteacher explained to the principal what the situation was.\n\nThe principal told Mrs Brooks he would give the\nboy a test and if he failed to answer any of his questions \nhe was to go back to the first grade and\nbehave. She agreed. \n\nJohnny was brought in and the conditions explained to\nhim and he agreed to take the test.\n\nPrincipal: "What is 3 x 3?"\nJohnny: "9."\n\nPrincipal: "What is 6 x 6 ?"\n\nJohnny: "36."\n\nAnd so it went with every question the principal thought \na third grade should know. The principal looks at Mrs Brooks\nand tells her, "I think Johnny can go to the third grade."\n\nMrs Brooks says to the principal, "Let me ask him, some questions?"\n\nThe principal and Johnny both agree.\n\nMrs Brooks: "What does a cow have four of that I have only 2 of?\n\nJohnny, after a moment "Legs."\n\nMrs Brooks: What is in your pants that you have but I do not have?"\n\nJohnny: "Pockets."\n\nMrs Brooks: "What starts with C and ends with T,\nis hairy, oval and\ndelicious and contains a whitish liquid?"\n\nJohnny: "Coconut."\n\nMrs Brooks: "What goes in hard and pink and comes\nout soft and sticky?"\n\nThe principal's eyes open really wide and before\n\nhe could stop the answer,\n\nJohnny takes charge.....\n\nJohnny: "Bubblegum."\n\nMrs Brooks: "What does a man do standing up, a\nwoman does sitting down and a\ndog does on 3 legs?"\n\nThe principal's eyes open really wide and before\nhe could stoP the answer.....\n\nJohnny: "Shake hands."\n\nMrs Brooks: "Now I will ask some 'Who am I' questions, okay?"\n\nMrs Brooks: "You stick your poles inside me. You\ntie me down to get me up.\nI get wet before you do."\n\nJohnny: "Tent."\n\nMrs Brooks: "A finger goes inside me. You fiddle\nwith me when you're bored.\nThe best man always has me first."\n\nThe principal was looking restless and a bit tense.\n\nJohnny: "Wedding Ring."\n\nMrs Brooks: "I have a stiff shaft. My tip\npenetrates. I come with a quiver?"\n\nJohnny; "Arrow."\n\nMrs Brooks: "What word starts with F and ends in\nK and means a lot of heat and excitement?"\n\nJohnny: "Fire truck."\n\nThe principal breathed a sigh of relief and\nsaid to the teacher,\n\n"Send Johnny to University, I got the last ten\nquestions wrong myself!"

You know I haven't figured that out either. I am the smartest girl in my grade so the way the those kinds of girls act is really annoying and immature to me. At my school a lot of the teachers suck up to these kind of people so I have no idea.

You have to fight this!!!\n\nEveryone knows that Neil Armstrong said "One small step for man, .."  Man is short for mankind.  Of course mankind stands for the entire human race.  Doesn't your stupid teacher know anything!!!  \n\nI think you could get her fired for something this stupid.  Your grammar is 100% correct weather she likes it or not.

Interesting question (I think it is a question.) Seems to me there is enough blame to go around...let's not stop with teachers. How about the students themselves? How about the parents? We have seen a huge dumbing down of students in the past 30 years...lowest common denominator effect, or "let no child be left behind." When students are pushed further into classes they cannot understand, when the quality of education is such that many students are left in the dark, when parents remain detached from their children and expect teachers to do it all, we have what we now have...a nation of illiterate kids graduating from high school Not all students are illiterate, but you don't have to look further than the questions/answers here to see that many kids cannot spell, cannot write a sentence, and cannot communicate clearly with written words. We have spawned a system where it is NOT cool to be educated, and certainly NOT cool to achieve anything in public schools. NERD is all but a curse word, isn't it? Yet it is the Nerds who inherit the jobs, the salaries, the world. Kids may think it is "cool" to be ignorant, but there comes a day when they must look around and wonder how they were left out ... of everything. IF I were to come home with a bad grade, IF I were to not do my homework, IF I were to mouth off to a teacher, I wouldn't sit for a week. So, to avoid the punishment, I did the work. Isn't it strange today that when a child misbehaves, the parents are up in the face of the teacher with accusations, threats, etc. Is it any wonder that teachers give up trying to educate a bunch of students who have no interest beyond text messaging? Teachers head into the career thinking they will make a difference. It doesn't take long for them to find out they are underpaid baby sitters of out-of-control thugs and brats. Unfortunatly, time has a way of evening things out. Sad to say, but I am glad I do not have to face the daily challenges of gangs, bullies, and "cool" people that students are surrounded by today.

How about paying attention to what your teacher is saying? I am serious...you are there to learn, not to pass time. I think you must be joking, right?

You need to arrange a meeting with the teacher immediately to address this - have another person with you, and keep notes of what was said.  Don't go in all guns blazing, be polite but firm and explain your concerns in a dignified manner.  If you do not get anywhere with the teacher submit a formal written complaint to the head teacher and ask for a meeting with him/her to disucss your concerns and what can be done.  Take notes of everything and copies of all letters/details of phone calls.  Take notes of anything your child tells you and of any changes you notice in your child behaviour - reluctance to go to school, nightmares, bedwetting, acting out of character. The teacher has behaved unreasonably, but give them a chance to give their version as you have so far only heard one side.  As I said - make notes of everything, the more documentation you have the stronger your case if you do need to take this any further. It's hard to stay calm and rational in this situation, I know but you've a better chance of a positive outcome if you do!

Some girls are just seriously mean.  You are the victim of not only assault, but sexual batter and harassment as well.  Bring the matter to your Principal, and better yet, file criminal charges on her.  She could have done serious and permanent damage to your parts.  The girls have the evidence on their phones. \n\nAs a mom, I would persue the matter for my son.

Please tell me you're not passing English!  Instead of "yelling at" your teacher, calmly make a list of your complaints.  Include dates and times if possible.  Have someone you trust proofread it, and then take it to your principal or other administrator.  If they are reasonable complaints, they will have to look into them.  But make sure that you only state the facts, and not things that you have heard or your opinions, because anything you put in writing will be taken very seriously.  Good luck.

Could you give a specific example of what she has done that has led you to this conclusion?\n\nP.S. If, for whatever reason, you feel you are getting nothing out of this class, why haven't you already found a new class (since you are so VERY smart... I would think you would have figured out the answer yourself by now)

Well, here I go with an oldtime comparison.  Back in the 60's when I was in high school, none of our teachers prepared us for test.  We were expected to read the assignments, study the homework and be expected to know all the material.  I went to a pretty good high school and that's just the way it was.  Now, not having any lectures doesn't make a lot of sense to me.  This teacher seem to be collecting a paycheck and not doing the job required.  Being a retired high school teacher I would advise you to talk to the teacher first and if you don't receive a satisfactory explaination of why she is giving the test under these conditions go the counselor and explain the situation and advise your other classmates to do the same.  I would also let your parents know what is going on and let them call the school and ask to sit in the class for a day to observe this teacher.  I also had an open classroom where parents were allowed to come in and sit anytime they wanted.  This keeps a teacher on his toes, the students on their best behavior and lots of learning to be had.  This teacher is there to disseminate information that is suppose to be important and beneficial for you to learn.  If she is not doing the job she should be told what is expected of her and if she can't do that she should be terminated.  You do have the responsibility though to know what is in the textbook even if your teacher doesn't go over the material.  Since this is high school and not college, you should get some type of guidance or lecture in the classroom.  Maybe she thinks she is preparing you for college though.  Is this an AP or honors class?

FIrst of all, what do you mean by authestic??  Do you mean AUTISTIC? If so then you should know how the word is spelled since you are their teacher. \n\nSecond of all, if you left the classroom and had a breakdown, were the kids left in the classroom alone? Since they have special needs and could have gotten into/done anything while you were out, that could be terms for firing.\n\n\nMaybe you can request some time off so you can get your bearings back??\n\n*******************it's MONDAY, I am curious to know what happened!
