Anybody have really annoying people in their classes? I have this girl in my abnormal psychology -perfect class for this- she is 30 married (happily she says) 3 kids and all she does for the 2 hrs we have class is incessivly talk about her purple dildo and flirt with these little 20 yr old guys.\nI find it sickning to hear her talk about her fricken purple dildo....YUCK!!!!! Should I be mean? I so want to tell her off. What do U think?

Purple what? That sounds kind of gross... Just move away from her and sit somewhere else, but if you must, then tell her off. You're paying to sit there to learn, not to listen to her talk about her purple whatever.

Kim, I teach at a public university and I am very demanding of my teacher education students.  It's not meanness, it's not evil intent; instead, we just want them to work as hard as they are able, to soak up as much as they can, in preparation for life.  You see, you are about to go into the big-bad world in a couple of years -- wouldn't you rather apply yourself now so you will have success then?  \n\nMy students know I am hard.  They have commented, and I readily acknowledge, that I am the toughest of all the teachers.  However, that said, they say how much more prepared they will be when they leave due to this high level of expectations.  Instead of thinking the teachers are out to get you, couldn't you think they are just trying to get you as prepared as possible?  And be grateful?  If they aren't going to push you, who will?\n\nGood luck -- and I hope it makes sense to you!

There always seems to be girls like this in school. Her meanness will show through eventually. There was a popular girl in my college class once who everyone seemed to idolize. She was really mean to me. Invited everyone to a party but not me. At the end of the year party, which she couldn't attend, everybody let out all their anger and frustration about her. Seems I wasn't the only one she was mean to. I was kind of mad because it made my year awful and somebody could have told me. Anyway, hang in there. Don't do anything stupid. Her karma will get her in the end.

I totally agree were in an informal enviorment . I never thought my vocab teacher would be following me all over the place. Some people are just sooooooooooo anal and don't know when to lighten up.

Who's the child?  Be the bigger person and move on.  You will only make the problem worse.  If you really can't handle her bossiness, talk to your teacher or couselor.  Good Luck!

your idea is totally genius! I always say... kill them with kindness! It will annoy her that you are being really nice to her, and when she realizes that you aren't upset when she's rude to you, she'll get bored and start to ignore you. Most likely she'll entirely move on to someone else (to annoy) good luck! This method has worked for me MANY MAnY times!

That is very rude and surely causes the kid alot of pain. The teacher should be dealt with by her superiors. She should know better. You might try becomming this kid's friend. He could probably use one that's understanding and kind. If someone starts taking his side that person may get some flack but the best part is knowing you're doing the right thing for the right reason. Good luck.

I understand and know exactly what your niece is going through. I was teased from 1st grade all the way to 8th. yeah...I know, lol. Let her know that, those kids doing that stuff to her are seriously jealous of her and that it eventually will catch up to them. Also i suggest that she find a teacher or principle in the school, she can talk to about this. Preferably a teacher because they give advice and they are easier to talk to. If they speak spanish, tell her to say, " Cayette(kie-a-tay) which means shut up! lol. No seriously, I would suggest that she stand up for herself as well. Look them in the eye at all times that she has something to say. Also, tell her not to be a push over. Kids who pick on others, always ask to borrow things and use things from the kids they tease. Tell your niece to say no, but do it politely. Everything will be ok.  Im sure she has friends she can rely on as well, so it should be fine. But one thing you as the adult can do, is call up to the school and let an adult there know whats going on and see if anything can be worked out like a mediation thing or something. Hope I helped, and tell your niece to keep strong!

I've dealt with a lot of mean teachers and I know they can't get fired for that. My Freshman science teacher was mean to only Freshman. Now, whenever she sees me, she's always extremely nice. Some teachers are just mean because they don't like their jobs. Nonetheless, if your teacher wasn't teaching properly or was beating the kids, that would be a good ticket out of there. But just "being mean" could be a  matter of perspective and I don't think there's anything you can do.

Notify the dean about her teachings.  Teachers like this should already be on his watch list.  I had a prof. in college like that and they fired her.

In a school I went to for my GED there was, as in nearly any class, detractive students.  It was actually suggested that we tell interrupting students to be quiet, and that the teacher would not have any qualms with that.  Depending on the individual, there are numerous tacks to take.  If this person is a brat they may be acting out, and even assaulting you.  Watch for clever verbal assaults.  One of the best responses I've found is: "It's unfortunate that you feel that way!"  If that doesn't work try: "Everyone in the class knows what you're up to."  You'll be surprised how well that works!

Wow. When I think about that happening to me I almost start crying. This is a terrible tradgedy and I think you should avoid the subject. You'll never know how she'll react. When she comes in the class room try not to be extra nice to her or anything. She'll catch on sooner or later. Just act normal around her. That's what I think would be the best thing for her.

As a mother of 3(and a day after all 3 of their P-T conferances!!) I absolutely agree with you..\nToo many parents out there coddle their 'poor innocent children' and don't even know the first thing about teaching them responsability and discipline..I really think that it is a major problem right now but will really come back to bite us in a few years when they are 'adults'.\nMy now 10 year old had major problems with late work and 'forgetting assignments last year. The teacher cared enough to call me and both her and I sat down and developed a plan to work this out together..we checked her work leaving school and I checked everything at home. It was time consuming for both of us; I also NEVER blamed the teacher-i made my 10 year old accountable and wanted her to understand that she needed to become responsable. A year later at her 5th grade conferance(last night!) her teacher this year had nothing but good things to say..how she dives into her homework at study time..asks for help and never has late work this year..plus she had almost straight A's..\nI think teachers are wonderful and are one of the most under-paid professions out there..\nUnfortunately some parents take those things as some sort of personnal insult or don't seem to understand that in a few short years their children will need to enter the adult world.\nI hope knowing that a very, involved caring mom(able to admit that my child isn't perfect!)completely agrees with you will help

lol my friend and I were talking about that one day. She said that if a girl wants to have sex she needs to use a dildo. They would help with the teen pregnancy and with all the std's . I said yea but that would be really weird to teach in school. my answer will be no im sorry that would be strange to teach in school.

What does she say/do that makes you specifically think she is mean?\n\nInstead of worrying about what she is doing, you should be thinking about what you are doing. Teachers REACT to student behavior. Therefore, there is probably something you are doing that angers her. Are you doing your work, staying quiet (except for class discussion time), helping around the classroom during cleanup, waiting politely for help and asking courteously, etc.?\n\nIf your HONEST answer to each of the above is yes, you are hard-working, courteous, and helpful, then look at the overall class behavior. Are there people who are just absolutely driving her nuts? If that is the case, talk to her about your feelings when she yells at everyone when it's only a few people... and time when you are going to talk to her carefully. Wait for a moment when she smiles when she sees you...lol!\n\nIf all the students are courteous, hard-working, and helpful, then she's stressed out about her colleagues or her private life. Talk to your parents about your feelings, and remember that the end of the school year is very soon!
