Why are teachers so mean when it is time to do the crct in georgia?

I don't live in Georgia, however I know the answer to this question.  Students don't realize this, but teachers are very stressed out around test time.  Though we are not physically taking the test, we know that your scores will reflect on us--well or poorly.

Because there is a mixture of maturities at your age. Some of your classmates are very childish while others are very mature. The teacher tends to compare all of the students to the more mature ones. This makes the teacher dislike the less mature students. You may not be the worst one but your not as disciplined as the best ones.

I have a couple of reasons. One teachers look for qualities in students that are often contrary to those sought after in peer relationships in adolesence. Youth is often about rebellion and if a student is seen as working within the set limits then other students may see them as being also something to rebel against. Another reason is that as teachers we were often ridiculed when we were younger and we identify with the students who maybe don't fit in quite as well. But it is funny in college the ones who were the teachers favorites often become the leaders.

I have taught in "Brethren Schools". The students come to learn and treat each other and the staff with respect. Because of their religious philosophy, you get some interesting situations!\nA child drops or throws a piece of paper on the floor. The teacher asks," Who did that?".  The child IMMEDIATELY owns up!\n\nImagine such an episode in a state school.\n\nIt is one of the reasons that they don't want their children educated in the state system.

You see, it's like this.  Teachers are bitter, old, mean people who can't stand the idea that kids are going home and have nothing to do but watch TV and play video games.  So they assign homework.  Sometimes they assign LOTS of homework.  Most of the time they just throw it away when you turn it in.  They don't want to bother correcting it ... they're gonna go home and watch TV and play video games.\n\nOr they want to help you learn.  I don't know which.

no, be the bigger person. if the teacher really is as bad as she seems, she'll screw up on her own.

As with all professions, there are people who really like what they do AND are good at teaching. There are others who like what they do BUT are not any good at explaining anything, or simply lack the knowledge (believe me, I work at a school for teachers and some are abysmally ignorant!! and still get to go out and teach). And there are others who don´t like teaching but have to do it (because of the pay, or academic requirements). Those are the worst, I think. \nBut luckily you'll have a good mix of different kinds of teachers. Next time that you feel like attacking a teacher, please stop and think that maybe he/she's just tired and disheartened, and needs some good attitude from the students. I know that a good response works for me!

Teachers are not hard to get along with if you follow their rules. Treat them with respect, and complete your assignments on time. They are there to help you. In college I found that when I got to know my professors and asked for help when I needed it that I usally had a pleasant experience. When I didnt do so I tended to struggle more then normal. Teachers jobs are about building strong moral character, and providing a stepping stone for the student to be successful in the world. They are not there to destroy your future or make you suffer. Most of the time when you are having problems with a teacher its because you are not getting the lessons that they feel you need to learn, talk to them and they will address the issues that they feel you need to improve on. The more you listen the better off you are, that shows a willingness to learn, the more you ask questions the better off you are, that shows the desire to increase your knowledge.

Why shouldn't she learn about it?  Would learning about it hurt her in some way?  The teacher must abide by government regulations when forming curriculum and the students must behave when given assignments.  I think I might know where she is getting the attitude, you yourself said that they "did her wrong."  I find it hard to believe that she was punished for her actions in your home.  In her mind, you just said it was ok to behave like that.

There are no mean teachers....there are BAD students!!!!\n\nWhen I was in high school everybody talked about this Spanish teacher Mrs. Bolanos, they said she was really mean and strict.  When I found out she was going to be my teacher I was really scared, however I got surprised when I realized she was not mean with me or any other GOOD student, she was only mean with the bad ones.  She was a very helpful teacher and I learned a lot from her, she was also willing to help the students who were not "bright" but gave their BEST.\n\nThis is for nghttymguy112:  SHAME ON YOU!!!!!!!! How do you dare to advice him to be disrespectful to a teacher??  You should give him a nice advice like everybody did, and not tell him to behave like those kind of students who one day go to school carrying a gun and kill innocent people.  People like you are the future terrorists (if you are not one already).

Honestly... because we are!  I live in Georgia and I have been in the public school system as a student for 13 years (K-12) and when it comes to what I have learned and the education... it was enough to get me by but nothing more.  There are some schools down here that are wonderful and exceptional but they fall short under the radar because the majority of public schools lack the substance that we needed going through school.  They are poorly funded and because the schools, here in Georgia for example, need teachers so badly, anyone (with or without a degree) can take a summer course and then that following school term, can be a teacher; most likely teaching in something that they no little about.  Georgia was ranked number 50 in the country for about 2 or 3 years straight based on SAT scores and so on.  Now we have moved up.... to number 49!  Go GA! I hate to make such a joke but that's exactly what my education seems to be to the superintendents and the people that are in charge of giving me that education.... a joke.

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.

Absolutely. You have to be strict to get anything done, and you have to strive really hard to be fair and involve all the pupils. This is not as easy as it sounds in a class of thirty plus. At teacher training college, we were given a saying which really works - don't smile until Christmas. I think some teachers make the mistake of trying to befriend their students too early on. Once the respect is lost, it's almost impossible to get it back. So, any new teachers out there - don't smile until Christmas! Be really strict, but fair, until you've got them where you need them!

I always worry less about being liked and more about having their respect (of course, I'm a high school teacher, it's probably very different for a KG class).  However, I think the two go hand in hand sometimes.  Be fair, show them that you genuinely care about them, and have extremely clear boundaries and rules for them.

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.

They want teachers to agree with them that "my child would NEVER behave like that!!"\nThey want teachers to give their children something for nothing...i.e. grades.\nThey want teachers to suddenly come up with an extra-credit assignment for their child (so the little darling can pass) when there are two weeks left in the final semester and their child's average is sitting at 47%.\nThey want teachers to put their own life on hold while they spend their entire weekend grading extra-credit assignments so their wonderfully well-behaved, academically groomed child WILL pass, dammit!\nAnd so on, and so on, and so on......
