why are SOME teachers look right through there pupils and have favorites?
596269
Because teachers are human beings and they don't always do the right thing. Teachers will have favorites, but a good teacher doesn't reveal who his/her favorite is.

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.

Here's another question for you:  Why is it that students behave very badly in the classroom but when the principal walks in they are nice until s/he walks out?  It goes both ways you know. \n\nFurther, don't paint a picture with such a broad brush; not all teachers modify their behavior when an administrator is in the room.

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!

Yeah... teachers try to "cheat" kids out of failure by "tricking" them into knowledge.  :o)

maybe you're nervous because you're aware that the whole class is listening to you and subconsciously, you're afraid to make mistake .Or you're just being too self-conscious about it. We all have the same quality more or less, people wanting to make good impressions, when the irony of it is that you have to make mistakes to be a better person.

Teachers may "dress up" (or not) for a number of reasons.\n\nSome teachers dress up because their schools require it.  Dress codes are probably as typical for teachers as they are for students.  (Teachers just don't complain about them as often or loudly.)\n\nSome teachers dress up because they think that students will respect it.  Other teachers "dress down" because they think that students will respect it.  (Neither the up- nor the down-dressers realize that students think the teachers look like dorks in any case.)\n\nSome teachers dress up because they are "old school," and they believe that a person doing a professional job should be dressed in clothing appropriate to a professional.  (And they're right about this.)\n\nSome teachers dress up or down because they feel that clothing is, or should be, a reflection of personality.  From their perspective, the style of dress is just "who they are."  (And some of them don't realize that certain aspects of personality don't need to be on display on the job.)\n\nSome teachers dress up out of respect for their topic and for their students.  They believe that their topic deserves to be treated well, and that their students are important people.  Dressing well is one way they can reflect this belief.  (And, again, they're right.)

teachers are hot.\n\n\nthe problem, though, lies with the fact that they would lose their job by dating students.  plus, it's usually illegal.  plus, the teacher is probably taking advantage of you.  plus, it'll never work out to be a long-term relationship, if that's what you're looking for.\n\nprobably not worth the risk and anxiety....

Well i love my alg 2 teacher cuz he makes the class fun and really cares about us. My english teacher is compelelty crazy. I think she really is from another planet, she is so fun to mess w/. My Human Anatomy and Physiology teacher is soooooooooo boring, but he's still cool. Last my World Cultures teacher is a real b***h. She loves to give us 2 projects at once, as if we don't have any other classes, and she doesn't give us notes or anything!

I am still in school! What is that shit! Anyway, there are nice teachers who do their job well and try not to show favoritism, just as there are teachers who do not. High school teachers are generally not as open as Middle school teachers.

Teachers need to be taught how they should behave in front of their students.  Knowledable teachers are not good enough.  They language they used and how they present themselves are important too.

Because they are only human and fallible.  Why do we treat anybody the way we do? Teachers are no different than anyone else.  Having said that, teachers have a responsibility to be impartial and fair to all of their students even if they don't like them.  It's called professionalism

They like them, and care about them \n\nand if a teacher fails a student it means that he/ she did not study enough and he just needs to work a little bit more

My guess is you are probrably a highly intelligent individual who is testing people. Maybe to hear a certain response, or maybe to see how YOU can make people react. A thinker, I suspect, a person who can read the page, but also between the lines.. I suspect somebody with dark humour, and subtly sarcastic. A proud person, but also optimistic... Probrably a good lover... and a lover of music, and any thing intellectual. A person who enjoys to play with words... A person who is sure of who they are... And I think from your choices, somebody who would like to be involved with the people, so I choose something involved in teaching, or leading...\n\n\nClose enough? This is my best guess...\n\n\n\nLove

The differeences between teachers are not because they are young or old, but are related mostly to attitude and perspective.  I have known excellent teachers who had just graduated from college and excellent teachers who were ready to retire.  I have also known newly graduated teachers who were very bitter and sour and angry in their perspecitve and older teachers who were the same.  \n\nJudging or characterizing anyone, teacher or other, by their age is the same as judging someone by their color,  It is a form of prejudice.

Your teacher knows best. Oprah recently said that in many schools pupils are led to believe that they're doing well whereas in fact their level is awful. So she's just making sure that you can get the best of the best once you graduate, and she's preparing you as best as she can for that by making you work your utmost.
