How can I let the others (students) stop calling me " TEACHER PET"??

Basically, people are going to call you whatever they call you.  But if you enjoy school, then by all means, enjoy it!  If teachers tend to favor you, it's probably because they see a lot of potential in you and want to help you develop that potential to its fullest.  Don't let the name callers ruin that for you.  Just be yourself and don't worry about the people who call names.  And yes, they're jealous.

Gosh, she's just one teacher out of many you will have.  And you'll likely never have to see her again after you finish the class.  You don't have to like or be liked by everyone, so get over it, you are already spending too much time worrying about something that can only cause trouble.  Your teacher is a real person, you know, maybe she doesn't llike you either.  Maybe if you treat her better, she'll treat you better, too.

Screw the kids at your school. I've had this happen before, it sucks, but the best thing to do is keep your head and laugh along with them, show them it doesn't bug you any. Sooner or later they'll realize they're immature and that it doesn't bug ya.

It appears you have been very professional in dealing with this - good on you!  Do you belong to a professional organization of teachers?  They should be able to provide more support.\n\nInterpersonal relationship advice.....why does she have any power over your students?  You've done very well in modelling appropriate behaviour - good on you!  Is there another teacher who could give your students peer partners?  That would give another opportunity for appropriate modelling.  Ask her students about their motivation:  What do they get from being mean to the girls?  Until you understand the underlying fears of the people involved, you won't be able to determine their motivation.  Sometimes we just have to work with jerks - realize her limitations and work around them.

Yes, you are wrong.  She is teaching a class and perfectly within her rights to outline classroom conduct expectations.\n\nYou are argumentative with your back talk and your refusal to do things the way she expects, which is distracting to the other students.\n\nAnd now you want to get "cute" and dissect the class syllabus for "contract infringement."  Give me a break.\n\nNot only is she fully within her rights to penalize your grade but she can expel you from the entire class.  \n\n \n\nYou say you are "grown up" but you are not, you have a lot of growing up to do.  I suggest you take responsibility for your own actions and obey the rules of the class.\n\nPeace.

You should try to ignore them. You're there to work, so just work and ignore them, that's the best thing you can do and you won't get in trouble

Tell him that you would appreciate it if he didn't publicly humiliate you and that you are simply doing your work to the best of your ability. I'm assuming you are in high school, and high school teaches sometimes will try to intimidate students if confronted. Don't let him push you around, stand your ground and speak to school administrators if he continues to give you trouble. Any further actions that he takes in an effort to embarass you would constitute harassment and school officials need to step in. This is actually a serious matter and should be handled as such.\n\nGood luck handling this. Just be confident in yourself and don't let him talk down to you.

Sometimes you have a teacher you just absolutely hates. She doesn't want to help you, she doesn't want to explain things. She seems to be so hung up on discipline and "No talking" that it's all you every hear from her.\nBut you know what, maybe she has a very difficult group of children in class - a group who are on the border of being out of control - and the only way to handle such a group is to be "too" strict. \nTake a look at your class (OK, I know you all hate her, but try to look at the class as if you're on the outside). Are there any kids there who are rowdy and unbehaved? Are there any kids who don't pay attention to her, and then waste everyone's time by asking unnecessary (or silly - really SILLY) questions? Some teachers are not very good at handling these kind of students, and the only way they know is to keep everyone quiet, and answer all questions with a "Find out on your own". Or maybe she's just so fedup with having to deal with these difficult students that she sees al students as being obnoxious. Why does this happen? Because children will always be children, and there will always be the ones who send teachers up the walls.\nWhat can you do? Go talk to her on a quiet day, at a time that she should be relaxed. A nice not-too-hot day when everyone seems to be in a good mood. Tell her you are really in a fix and really need to find some answers. And that you value her answers far more than another student's answers. Remind her that students don't know how to explain something as well as a teacher does. Boost her a little - make her feel good. And maybe, just maybe, you could get a little compassion from her. \nBut, if she really is a .... not so nice teacher (and don't use the b.. word - it makes it harder for you to sit in her class if you think of her as a b...)Well, then maybe you could get your whole class to have a chat with a student's councelor or someone at your school - very confidential, of course. I can't say they will be able to help much, but if they know how the students really feel, it could help to get her "removed" from her position.\nGood luck, I really hope you can solve your problem. It sure isn't cool to study with a teacher like that!!!

OK, I'm a mean teacher.  Let me tell you what we're looking for (unless you mean a real mean teacher who is just mean for the sake of being mean - if you mean that, stay off the radar).\n\nFirst, do what you're supposed to.  You've got to be there and we've got to be there.  If it's time to listen and take notes, do that.  If it's time to read, do that.  If it's time to do work whether it's by yourself or in a group, do that.\n\nSecond, don't lie.  Always better to tell the truth and get in trouble. \n\nThird, be respectful.  Of everyone.  Teachers, students, lunch ladies, custodians.  A well placed "sir" "ma'am" "thank you" and "please" can do wonders to improve a teacher's mood.\n\nFinally, take responsibility for yourself.  If you make a mistake, own up to it then try your best to fix it.  \n\nThat's all we want.  Usually, if we're being mean it's to (are you ready) teach you something.  Maybe prepare you for the future.\n\nGood luck.

Man, I was going through the samething with this really obnoxious girl once. I feel your pain. my plan of dealing with people like him is to stay clear of them. It might not be easy at first but once you keep avoiding and stay clear of him overtime he won't be a problem, and talk to your teacher about changing your seat, tell him/her that you have problems with this kid and that you don't get along with him that should help, and if that doesn't work well, you before taking things into your own hands try the plan first.

First of all tell him to do his own work.. You are not his patsy.... or fool... You are letting him walk all over you... are you crazy.. You are being used. plain and simple. Whether you like him or not he is not taking his school seriously. Sounds like he likes to be more of a Romeo and get away with everything... don't be his Juliet.... He doesn't want to kiss you , he wants to copy your answers...\nYou teach people how to treat you, you are letting him treat you like you don't matter.....say no... stand up to him and ignore this dawg....

Make sure that you name one of them after your teacher.  She won't be able to resist bumping your grade up a notch.  Also name some of the others after your friends in the class.  That way, no one will think you're kissing up to your teacher.  And don't forget to name one after the object of your affection in the class.  What a way to get that person's attention, huh?

you should write all the times the teacher discriminated against you and talk to the principal.  if nothing is done, you could go to the school board or, yes, file a lawsuit

That was unfair of your teacher but we are all human.  The problem may simply be that you are in a difficult grade right now.  Some grade levels tend to be more difficult than others, usually 5th and 7th for example.  Most teachers who play teacher's pet don't do that with grades, only privileges.  If you liked your previous teacher, maybe you tried harder. I'm sure if you do your best you will find that your grades will reflect that.
