what should you do if your teacher is always stressed?

She is probably tired from grading papers and exams, tired from a hard year.  Teaching English is a heavy course load and demands a lot of work - hours and hours of it - hours of work after the school day ends, hours of evening work and hours of weekend work.  This is a very tough time of year for all teachers.  If the way she is acting is new for her, and she hasn't been like this before, and she isn't doing anything illegal or improper, cut her a bit of slack, and try to influence the class to stop the silly stuff that is getting on her nerves.  I know this is an exciting time of year for students with vacation so near, and sometimes students can be extra silly in May, and as a previous poster said, it is only a few more days.\n\nSo, yes, it probably is because of the end of the year ... and most likely she will be back to being the same as she was before when next year's classes walk through the door.

I went through a very similar situation and after months of being told by the teacher and the principal that there must be a problem at home, I found out another child was having the same problems mine was.  The other mom and I got together and came up with a plan.  We each got our child to tell us why the other child was having so much trouble.\n\nTurned out there was another child in the class bullying and intimidating ours so badly that there were days they spent all their time huddled under their desks.  \n\nWhile I still could not get the school to admit to a problem, I did find a sympathetic vice principal who allowed my child access to her office at any time he felt he could not handle being in the class anymore.  \n\nIt wasn't the perfect solution but it got us to the end of that school year and I made sure I had some say in what class he went into the next year.  Things improved after that.  \n\nIf you truly are not having discipline problems at home and the only place there really seems to be a problem is at school, then I would be looking very hard at why there is a problem at school.  Don't take the teacher's word for anything...that teacher may very well be the problem.  Talk to other parents and find out if anyone else is going through something similar to what you are.  Make sure your child understands that you know there is a problem and you are doing your best to help.  Let him know he has you on his side.  \n\nGood luck.  Sure would like to know the outcome of this one.

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!

If your kids are going to the school you're running, I'd suggest you send them to another school. Mind you,this isn't to criticize you or your school, but I've seen too many examples of students cracking under the pressure of the expectations of their teaching parents. The teacher expects way more from his own children than from others. Pressure is very hard to handle for children and defenitely doesn't help them in the learning process.\nGood luck to you.

Honestly I don't sorry, but if there's somthing wrong with the teacher, as if their hitting kids, or yelling at/intimidating them. REPORT THEM IMMEDIATELY!, I had a 3rd grade teacher who made almost every single kid in my class cry (I was the only one who didn't because I have a psychological abnomality that dosn't allow me to portray my emotions correctly), Please don't let your or anyone else child continue to be abused by a bad teacher. If the teacher is awesome though, cool deal. I would sit in during a few classes (if not working) and check out the teacher yourself though. First thing always though, believe the children who attend the class, if you need a really good review of a teacher ask their students what they are like.

Believe it or not, there are free risk solutions for this problem!\nDoing yoga and stretching exercises can help.\n\nJoin any club close to you and let your teacher know your goal out of joining these classes to give you hints and tips after the classes.\n\nAnd don’t forget healthy food to support you!\n\nGood Luck  ;)

Try and find the cause of your stress, and work on it, exercise helps a lot , along with a good nights sleep, and drinking enough water, in fact I think they have a book out titled STRESS AND WATER.\nIt is so hard today in our fast paced life styles, not to be stressed out. I could also say not to worry, but doesn't seem to fit with life styles today either.\nLaughter is so therapeutic, and is a good medicine.

Ask one of the teacher's for help.

What behavioral interventions and work prompts are her teachers doing with her at school? Ask if you can sit in and observe so you can do the same thing for academic work at home.\n\nShe will calm down greatly when she has similar expectations and prompts across environments. Your behavior responses are probably different from her teachers, and this confuses her because homework is schoolwork is something that should happen just-that-way-that-it-always-happens.....

Before you find a teacher, you can try a simple thing: Sit together with your partner and breathe together long time. Than lie down and continue to breathe together.

Teachers are there to help you - I asked my health teacher about a problem with one of my friends, and she pointed me in the right direction, so don't be scared to talk to them!\n\n**I mean my friend was having a personal problem - so I asked the teacher.... I wasn't talking like a cat fight with one of them, it was something different....

Schedule a parent/teacher meeting with her teacher. See if the teacher is willing to stay after school a couple of days a week and give her one on one tutoring.\n\nMy little brother went through the exact same thing with his math and english lessons and his teacher was more than happy to stay late with him since teachers are always at school after the kids to home.\n\nAlso, it may be a tough decision to make, but it is almost the end of the school year. If you daughter just quite doesn't grasp what she is trying to learn, maybe it is best if she is held back a year. If she is struggling so hard now, how in the world would she survive in a higher grade?\n\nGood luch!

You sound as though you need help.  Do you have a teacher you can confide in?  Perhaps Child Services can help also.

There is no magic answer.\nWhat is it that experienced teachers do to keep good order? It might be to do with thorough preparation and oganisation, praise, reward, engagement with pupils, talking with pupils rather than to pupils, listening, humour, quick response to signs of disorder, consistency, sparse use of punishment and clear boundaries, etc. The list is long!\nExperience is a major aspect as is working in the same place for some years.\nAnybody will get fed up and restless with a diet of uninteresting, meaningless, academic stuff - especially if they can't understand it.\nEverybody responds well to stuff they enjoy, do well at ,is interesting and is relevant.
