why are all,most of science teachers horrible in nature?????????????
608680
As a colleague of science teachers for 40 years, I don't think they are at all horrible. Moody, yes, and that is because of the horrendous condition most of them work in. They have to prepare labs which is very time consuming, and often do so without the proper equipment or materials. Between classes they are expected to break down the lab just done and set up another one for the incoming class. Further, they really do not have the time necessary in normal class periods to have the students do labs well and thoroughly. This puts stress on those teachers and most likely accounts for what you call horrifying.\n\nA further truth is that schools are now requiring all students to pass 3-4 years of science, and science teachers, like all teachers, are greatly affected by student apathy which, according to the administration ,translates into teacher failure.\n\nTeaching is a difficult job, and teaching science is truly challenging!!

i dislike science too ... it is soo hard... esp.physics and chemistry..biology is fine.. i love math !! its soo fun esp. geometry !

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!

I absolutely hate it when my teachers are unprofessional. They sit around with their feet on the desk wearing flipflops and sweatpants and drinking a Coke. They just yell orders, make threats, etc, but nothing happens. Basically I hate it when the class is a joke.

Many teachers say that they're just there to teach, and they are not paid enough to have to put up with abuse from students; however, many teachers are not taking time to really get to "know" their students, some teachers are not "cut out" for teaching, and many do not advance themselves to learn recent brain research to really understand why some students are the way they "really" are. Many teachers do not understand many reasons such as environmental, prenatal, brain development, etc, so they don't understand different types of students' negative behavior.  Because of not understanding these factors, many teachers see the "kids" as "bad," so the teachers become mean. And, most importantly, if there is too much class disruption because of negativism, from both teacher and student, much instructional time is lost. And that's a major reason that teachers become more annoyed or meaner! Also, many students are afraid to tell their parents about the abuse, so nothing gets done, and many bad teachers get away with "being extremely mean."  Also, some students come in with personal problems, they don't tell the teacher, and therefore, some teachers go with what they have, and you can figure out the rest for yourself. One of the best books to read about why we have such negative discipline in the schools is Jane Healey's "Endangered Minds." Also, many teachers should be required to attend conferences/workshops on "Conflict Management." There are many pros and cons about this topic, and one of the best solutions is to have the teacher, the student, and the parent/s involved in a peaceful conference to discuss negative issues and how to deal with the student. To put it bluntly, teaching in today's society, with all the factors (which we didn't have many years ago) is a tough job, but somebody has to do it. And, many of us, who are teachers, know the factors, so we stay in the teaching job because we love to teach, plus we love and understand kids. Those who can't understand this, need to get out of education and find another field to work in.

They don't all behave that way... but having known many throughout my life, it is truly amazing how many do!\n\nI think it is because the moronic ones think they know everything and have superiority complexes.  They think they are better than all the students and parents as well as all the teachers.\n\nThis comment is coming from an adult, not a kid.

Go in for help.  My HS science teacher was a bastard until I spent before and after school getting help for physics.  When he saw I wanted to learn and not just be given answers we got along a lot better.  He gave me a great letter of recomendation the next year that helped get me into college.\n\nAlso ask him what his degree was in.  Some HS teachers have a BS/BA in earth science and are teaching chem.  Some are just plain over their head.  Always be polite, and make it known you want to learn.

some teachers are ok but some are just downright nasty and unfair and i loathe them.

Those who only learn in school are truely pitiful. Every day should be a learning experience. People were meant to learn things, not go through life without thinking.

honestly! you would make a good science teacher. share your knowledge with the kids, inspire them to learn, love and understand sciences. sharing what you know, making it easy for others to  learn science and inspiring them to become one in the future - you're gonna love it.

Not all teachers are smart and the Curriculum changes so often they can't be expected to know everything.\nMy French teacher (an actual French person) even had to look up the French for Tadpole.

Probably for the same reason cops might be hated. They are the ones you get sent to when you break the law at school.  Not an easy job, being the disciplinarian. Teachers are hired to teach, and have to send kids to the principal for discipline. Principals have to track down truant kids and deal with parents. They have to deal with all the complaints. They have a difficult job.\n\nNot all principals are hated though. When I was a teen, I had one who was female, friendly, interesting and very personable. I recall talking with her often, as she hung out during lunchtime in the cafeteria. This same school had a line of boys, most days, waiting to visit with the principal (and vice principal). I'm sure those kids feared her, but I thought she was nice.\n\nI have worked at various schools, and many times I have seen very friendly principals, visiting with kids and getting hugs too!  Then again, I've encountered those who are stand-off-ish and always frowning and seem unapprochable.

No teacher claims to be the smartest person in the world (atleast not the good ones). The anwser books are to make sure we know what we are talking about. It is impossible to know everything and going to school to become a teacher isn't all about learning everything about math, science, history, but it is about how to best present information so that our students are better prepared to enter the world with all the knowledge they need to be an inedpendant member of society. Trust me I know there are bad teachers out there, but for the most part we do what we do because we care about how our students will grow in society.

I'm a geologist who has taught geology and earth science at the high school and college level. Why do you ask? \n\nYou can find most of my answers over in science and math, and in earth sciences. I'll be happy to watch for your questions and help if I can.

Because school makes learning so boring and dreadful that kids automatically reject anything that might be informative.  Adults do it too actually.  Teachers need to find more ways of making learning fun.

Not at all. If they are a good teacher, they are a good teacher. Put it this way; do you recall being influenced by your teachers sexuality one bit? I know I ceratinly wasn't. Things like homosexuality are part of the world, hiding it away from kids is not the answer.
