I feel dumb in class when...?

There is a saying that goes something like; it's better to keep your mouth shut and be thought to be a fool, than to open your mouth and confirm it.  You've found this out the hard way.  That's the bad news.\n\nThe good news is, ~you~ feel a fool for a week or so; by tomorrow everyone else will have forgotten the incident.  Just think before you speak, and if you aren't sure the answer is right, then say 'I think it might be such and such, but I'm not sure!'  That absolves you from being a big-head know-it-all if it's right, and a loser if it's wrong - after all, you did say you weren't sure!

Are you worried that if you ask a question, you'll lose your train of thought and come off sounding like an idiot? I'm a shy person, and I used to worry that I'd that I'd start mumbling, or that people would think my question is dumb. If you're worried about being judged or you forget what you were going to ask, it might help to write questions down so when you do ask, you can read them off of your paper. Formulating a question before you ask will help you to structure your question better, and since you know exactly what you're going to ask, you won't be as shy.\nYou can also email your teacher, see him/her during office hours, find out the answer(s) to your question(s) on your own, etc.\n\nI'm shy too...I know what it's like! You're not the only one afraid to ask questions in class! :)

Keep imagining something severe or serious.  Used to have the same problem and it was infectious. If I looked at a classmate of mine, they'd get this "uh oh, you're gonna make me laugh" look and I'd be in trouble with the teacher already... just look down at the floor until you compose yourself.

Haha Yeah i know how you feel, i hated school so much. But don't worry it will soon all be over! Just think how good it will feel when it's the last day of school ever! (or you might be one of these people that by the time you get there, you will actually miss it!)

What you need to do is walk up to her before class even starts and say, " hey I don't know if you noticed or not, but I was not in class yesterday, I just wanted you to know that I wasn't feeling to well and spent that period in the bathroom...apologize for missing and then sit down.

Talk to the teachers about what you can do and do it well. Finish up all missed assignments and if possible do extra credit work. Good luck.

The teacher didn't listen to you what?  Give some flimsy excuse? If you forgot, you forgot.  You'll just have to do the best you can with the info you remember.\n\nIf you get a bad grade, and it hurts enough, you'll likely remember to prepare for future tests!  Consider it one of life's lessons.

Make sure the class is Politically Correct.  Everything else is a distant second.\n\nDo I sound cynical?  I am!

embarrassing moment or movement...?  I fell going up stairs in front of my entire sixth grade class....landed with my face pressed against the wall....thankfully after the laughter they asked if I was ok.
