why are teachers so curle  to students?

Not all teachers are cruel to students. The ones who are, probably don't know any other way to control their class. It's not a very good excuse, but being the only adult in a room full of kids is an intimidating experience. Especially if the kids aren't paying attention. Usually, the 'cruel' teachers have good sides too. You just have to follow the rules to get on, and stay on, that good side.

Children do not respect rules and often teachers allow children to get away with things to make their lives easier.\n\nI work in a school and a lot of teachers threaten children with detentions, but never carry them out because they'd have to give up time at lunchtime or after school.

How dare you claim that those who actually know the subject matter would be the best teachers!  Don't you know it's more about self-esteem, and making the students feel better about the fact that they don't know s**t?

An effective, efficient teacher constantly evaluates whether her students are learning, not just the "quality" of her teaching.  If a teacher is only focused on her behavior, she could be performing wonderful teaching.  However, if her students are not learning, despite her teaching, the teaching is ineffective. \n\nEffective teachers look at student assessments, see what students are and aren't learning, and then adjust instruction accordingly.  If kids didn't learn something, the effective teacher goes back and reteaches it.  If one kid didn't learn it, the teacher offers that student (and requires his participation!) extra assistance.\n\nWhen teachers refuse to let students fail, student achievement soars.

There is research showing everything.  Most teachers do show growth in their students in a school year.  Not all students are on grade level but they show some growth.

How do the students behave when there's a parent in the classroom? Do you treat the teacher, and each other, the same?\n\nIf a parent or other adult is there as an observer for a longer period of time, and the teacher's behavior toward the students changes, usually its because you all are actually paying attention and doing your work for once....\n\nAlso, if a teacher's personality seems to flip-flop rapidly... such as being on the class's case all the time, with a frown and a sharp voice, and then the phone rings or another adult comes in and suddenly the teacher's voice is pleasant, and there's a smile on his/her face......\n\nWhen a teacher is nice, smiling, and pleasant, how many rules get broken by students, as compared to when the teacher appears grouchy?  The teacher's job in this regard is to make sure everyone is on-task, involved with the lessons, and behaving well toward each other. A teacher, especially at the secondary level, who appears relaxed and happy often has more students off-task and misbehaving. Teenagers tend to push their teachers until even the happiest and most relaxed teacher is frowning and grouchy.\n\nAn adult interrupting the room tends to be short-term, the students are initially interrupted from their work, but also are more conscious of how they appear to the visitor. At that point, the teacher's primary concern is to attend to the visitor's needs so that the classroom can return to routine. The teacher will generally be friendlier toward the visitor, because that person is not going to throw spit wads or pinch his/her neighbor when the teacher isn't looking.  If the visitor is there to observe, the students' awareness of the visitor watching them increases their on-task and good behaviors, so the teacher can be less "grouchy." \n\nThe person you see talking with a visiting adult, or on the phone, if it is not about something negative that is stressing him/her out, is probably much closer to the teacher's real attitude and feelings at the moment, than the way he/she's acting directly with the class.\n\nIf you want your teacher to not be "grouchy" toward you, try behaving correctly, getting your work done on time, asking politely for help when you need it, being patient when the teacher is short-tempered (after all, he/she's human) and coming back again to ask for help after a little while when things have calmed down, etc.\n\nNow, you really need to define "mean." What does the teacher do that really is "mean," and what are the students doing that the teacher is reacting to?

This teacher is not behaving the way she should. She is being seductive and she could get into alot of trouble. You need to stay away from her because she is not following the rules. Please talk to your parents or a counselor about this. She is going to get some kid into a real mess -- worse than you can imagine.

I am a Jr. High teacher and I can tell you that we really don't just "PICK" on students...If you feel that one of your teachers is being extra hard on you, maybe he/she sees that you aren't trying hard enough and that the teacher sees potential in you and has a belief that you have it in you to excel. Maybe that teacher wants and believes that you can do more than even you thnk you can.

Good teachers aren't just "good" because they know the subjects they teach.  An effective, good teacher is one who can get the material across to any student, motivate students, uplift and encourage students feeling down, diffuse conflicts between students, and above all make students feel good about themselves.\n\nTeachers who do this get their subject material across very well.  It is almost more important for teachers to be good at working with people (specifically youths).  Subject material can come AFTER that.

A love for the job or an IDEAL of wanting to help kids.  Without that, you're just going to end up the bitter old teacher that everyone hates to have.

A teacher who makes students feel bad for asking questions is not a very good teacher, in my opinion.  I am a first year teacher and I encourage all of my students to ask questions.  This also helps me to clarify concepts and will assist me in preparing and teaching the lesson better next time.  I must say though, it is quite frustrating for students to have a teacher repeat something 4 or 5 times just because the students were not paying attention the first time.

In every walk of life their will be people like that. Being a teacher is no exception.

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.

because then teachers will have do deal with the pathetic excuses of parents. In their eyes the child can do no wrong-they are the 'victim'.- of bullying, being singled out by the teacher, they are from a single family etc.\nWish these parents would get real, their kids are unruly, undisciplined yobs who cannot face up to any responsibility.

Students who would rather stay out of schools probably have emotional problems and learning problems. Very often, teachers do not have the time and capacity to help all students in trouble and we do see many of them drop out of school after some time, not equipped with life skills that would help them make a decent living.\nIt is SAD.\nBut let us stop just thinking about it and do something. Listen to the students (yes, don't just talk to them, listen to them), let them tell you what they really think about schools, help them see value in staying at schools, HELP THEM SEE VALUE IN THEMSELVES.\nAnd of course, as teachers, we should reflect on our teaching practice too. Let us make the classroom more engaging.\n*sigh* I think I sound a bit too idealistic in this answer.

Depends on the like though! I've aways wanted my teachers to like me because i was good at my work,but teachers are human, we tend to see them as walking encyclopedias - it would be good to know them as they really are people with feelings, family, dreams like everyone else too don't you think?
