How do I know wether or not a teacher dislikes me?

The teacher may feel uncomfortable knowing what you told them and not sure how to help.  Just remember, teachers are humans too and make mistakes and have problems.  Sometimes it's best to go to a guidance counselor with problems because they have to keep it confidential and have a background in helping.  \n\nI would not worry so much if she hates you, because if she felt really uncomfortable she would either tell you, completely avoid you, transfer you to a different class, or start being a lot harder on you than the other students. \n\nThe best thing to do is just ask her.  Tell her you are feeling uncomfortable since talking to her and you want to know if everything is ok and see what she says.  \n\nWithout knowing what you told her, it's hard for us on here to give great advice.  Hope that helps!

omg, you have a big problem my dear.. just don't talk to anybody in school anymore so they won't hate you. don't open your mouth either.\n\nnope, seriously, don't even try to force yourself on people who doesn't seem to like you. it's just a waste of time trying to impress them, 'coz they're losers

Hm... well, I have a teacher that I really don't like at all right now.  But yeah, you should like reword your question and use correct grammar.  It would probably help you to get more responses to your questions.  Just a friendly suggestion!  :)

I used* to think my gym teacher picked favorites,that's why I got averages. I told my mom, and she said that teachers are not allowed to do things like that. Maybe you should tell your principal or someone who could confront your teacher.\n*Who said I ever think he stopped?

I would talk to another teacher in your school, the principle or vice principle.  They should not be talking to you like that_

1. Listen carefully. The most annoying questions are the ones that the teacher has already answered, sometimes moments before.\n\n2. Ask a classmate first. If your classmates don't know either, it isn't a dumb question. \n\nYour teacher is an overworked, underpaid professional who could be making much more money skills in almost any other field. And if she took another job, she would greatly enjoy whole days where nobody is rude to her. \n\nMany teachers will take another job at the end of the school year and never come back to the classroom. The new teachers will have worse tempers, and your education will suffer.\n\nYour teacher is in the classroom because she cares about preparing you as well as she can for a future you can't even imagine. She wants to see you work and learn because you need that knowledge for yourself. Grownups shouldn't have to talk you into doing your own work.\n\nTake responsibility for your own learning--own it--and your teacher won't get mad at you nearly as much.

Depends on the like though! I've aways wanted my teachers to like me because i was good at my work,but teachers are human, we tend to see them as walking encyclopedias - it would be good to know them as they really are people with feelings, family, dreams like everyone else too don't you think?

It always made me so mad whenever I'd get blamed for stuff I didn't actually do when I was in school.  If I were you, I'd talk to the teacher when she is alone, and just tell her that you honestly were not chewing gum, and that you don't appreciate falsities being spread about you to your other teachers.  Talk to her with respect and she should listen, and also respect you more for setting the record straight in a respectful manner.

In short it depends on your teachers, and how sticky they are with the rules.  Also what does your highschool policies say? most likely if they really dont care, you probably dont have much to worry about, but if just one of them does, you just might be hooped

my school is rumor/bullshit central .. so i know EXACTLY what you`re talking about .. what you do is basically just ignore them .. you know what the truth is .. if they dont believe you then thats their problem, dont let it ruin your school days .. theyre already bad enough because of work and teachers themselves .. lol, anyways .. hope that helps

I personally hate facing people i disappoint so i write a letter first apologizing and explaining my actions,also since it is a teacher include what steps you will take to make sure that you don't make the same mistake again. give it to her in a nice essay form and she will obviously see the extra effort you put in and probably forgive you.

Well, it wouldn't hurt once in a while, but teachers like to VENT during their fee time and cannot always do that with the vice-principal around.   Once when the vice-prin. was in the teachers lounge, i happened to say something negative about the principal not about him personally but about how some rules were not being enforced consistently.  The next day the principal saw me in the hall and said hello, then casually added, "by the way if you have any constructive criticism, feel free to come by my office!!!"\nI was angry that what i thought had been a private conversation went directly to the principal.  since that day i do not trust veeps.

Perhaps if you call the middle school where you went you can find out. Usually they are still friends with some of the teachers there. If you know who they were really good friends with then maybe you can write them a note. If they do not feel comfortable giving you the information they can pass the note on to the teacher.\nWhen I do a search on my name the info from www.ratemyteacher.com comes up. That could tell you which school they are at. Have googled the teachers name?

NEWS FLASH: Not every teacher is going to smother you with sweetness. During my long stay overseas, I had more than my share of meanness from teachers who resented having "this American" come up in their class and be all "foreign". My daring to even ask or ,God  forbid, answer questions was enough to provoke accusations of "being a showoff" and all sorts of petty meannesses. I survived, but with a lifelong contempt for the kind of folks who wallow in pettiness and envy. You'd think an adult would have the sense to treat a child better,but that's life. \n\nIn fairness to the teacher,it was not "harsh" of her to want to be able to place your abilities by expecting you to write a placement test. Instructing you to return to your seat is not an insult by any means - how about being the only pupil  in a class of 25 who was made to stand on a desk if you happened to get an answer wrong? how about having someone mimic your accent every time you spoke up in class,even when they were the one who called upon you to speak in the first instance?\n\nSome people have "issues". You might want to have the calmer one (!) of your parents speak with the Principal of the school about having you change Math instructors since the present one apparently is triggered by something about you. And whether or not you do succeed in changing instructors, by all means be scrupulously polite and respectful to this woman.  She may not deserve it in your opinion, but you will simply have to deal with this with some maturity. Her actions can only be highlighted by anyone with a speck of powers of observation when they contrast your ladylike behavior with her surliness.\n\nYou are supposed to ask questions,because that is what you do in a school. If "she doesn't have time" for your questions,the Principal should be - very politely - appraised of this  unacceptable situation.\n\nAbove all,don't be a wimp! Fainting because someone spoke to you in a tone you didn't like? Then I've got to say , it's great job you weren't in my shoes, you'd have ended up in a blooming coma. You can stand up for yourself politely. But if you worry that openly complaining will only provoke worse you may simply revel in the fact that you are superior to this sort of behavior, as long as you maintain a calm demeanor. She may be a rude jerk,but don't let her provoke you into copying her example.\n\nOne powerful tool at your disposal in such a tense environment is to be the most angelic person in town with all your other instructors.When she comes up with any negative tales in the teacher's lounge about you(and this person will have some very lively opinions to air about you there, trust me),it may very well be the only saving grace for you if other teachers simply don't have any reason to take her word for it in your case. And one other helpful thing that did the trick for me in junior high was to seek the counsel and arbitration of another teacher who was well disposed towards me. It gave me the responsibility of making sure that that I didn't let the intervening staff member down by letting the antagonist under my skin and finally lashing back at her, and it made the antagoniser aware that her peers were alert to her treatment of me. So getting an ally on staff may be just the thing for you.\n\nIn parting ,keep to the high road at all times and be the best at what you do. Always make sure that no one has cause to put you down.\nKEEP IT REAL, AND DON'T BE A SOFTIE :-) .\nTOUGHEN UP AND WELCOME TO THE REAL WORLD!!!

Talk to your guidance counselor and she or he can help you deal with it. She may suggest talking to the teacher, asking if there is an area you can improve on or something so that she thinks you're willing to work hard. Otherwise, maybe your guidance counselor can talk to her and find out if you did something or if there is something she is upset about so that it can be fixed and you can have a good year next year. \n\nAlso, it might be that you think she doesn't like you when the truth is she does and it's just her personality. No matter what happens, good luck!

Rule the classroom with an iron glove. Be friendly but not overly friend. Before you start the class make sure you have a lesson plan. If the absent teacher fails to leave one, make them read, or ask them what they did yesterday, or if they have an important test coming up. Just don't be over friendly. They'll eat you.

It depends on what you hate about your class.  While this may not be the best solution, losing yourself in a good book can help...people will leave you alone (if they are bullying you or something), and you will be entertained by yourself.  You also might learn a thing or two.  You can also speak to your teacher.  Tell him or her what your problem is.  If your problem is with the teacher, tell your mom exactly what is wrong and maybe she can talk to the teacher or the principal for you.  Just some ideas.
