Is it improper etiquette not to interact with anyone in class?

Is it a participatory class or are you expected to sit quietly and pay attention to the teacher?  Certainly not greeting the other students could be considered rude but aside from that I guess it's just a matter of personal preference.

Absolutely not.  Most parents would consider that language rude if said in the family setting so all the more reason it is inappropraite in a school setting.  I would not be happy if my child where in that class.

yes student and teacher/staff relationships should only be friendly and not more than that.\n\nalso most schools have a rule against that and the teacher could get fired and the student can be expelled.

Do you let your students interrupt your teaching to use the bathroom?

As a teacher, I always tell my students to stand up if they think I'm wrong. However, there is a right way to do it and a wrong way. If you are old enough to be asking this on line, it is best not to approach the teacher in a confrontive, competitive way. And that goes not just for situations with teachers, but conflicts with others in general.\n\nWhen dealing with someone in authority, tell the person you'd like to meet and ask when a convenient time would be for that person. If asked why, just say something like - "I need to ask you something and I don't think it would be appropriate in front of others." When the teacher finds out what it is, she or he will appreciate your not challenging them in public.\n\nThen when you meet, nicely explain your point of view. If you are friendly and approach it as a misunderstanding, your teacher will very likely be receptive to your point and be willing to work with you on a solution. By the way - it's always good to go in with clear idea about how you want to change the situation. But if you don't know exactly what you want, you can always ask the teacher what she or he thinks might be a fair way to solve your disagreement.\n\nThe teacher may or may not budge (it depends on the situation), but it shows you are willing to work with the teacher, without causing unnecessary conflict.\n\nTo your P.S.\nIt sounds as if the teacher thinks you are not listening to her when she is making a point. Something can happen in book - but what happens may not be what is happening - in other words, people can take actions, such as leaving to deal with something. But are they leaving to run away from something - or to go toward something else?\n\nDon't get in a competition with her. Be willing to show her you are willing to learn, even if you don't agree. And if she is mean - OK, she is. Some people are nicer than others - we have to deal with all kinds in life. It's just a fact. But you'll win nothing by getting in a power struggle in your situation.\n\nA good teacher will respect you if you approach her in the way mentioned above.

it is when one or more student annoy the class by misbehaving or it could be a natural disruption like a chair falling suddenly. Hopefully it wont be an earthquake. Thats natural too.

Your desk should be out of the way...you're not going to be sitting in it during instruction, anyway. Set up students to allow ease of communication during class discussion, based on what you want for that discussion...peer partners, small-group teams, or whole-class. Make sure both standard and "when you're done" materials/center activities are placed for easy access. Create a variety of hands-on, audio, and other extra activities for centers (usable at any age level...just modify content and visual presentation). Find out student interests and find/develop activities that use those interests as a theme tying back into the skills and content area knowledge you're teaching.

Should be just about the lessons and classes, nothing els, it is very wrong to have an emotional relationship with your teacher/student.

Well, congrats Professor, but is it appropriate for you to be kissing your students and colleagues? =)

I have my attendance policy written on all of my syllabi.   Most of my colleagues do as well.  Usually, there are consequences for missing more than three classes, but these consequences vary from professor to professor.  In my classes, grades begin to drop after three unexcused absences.\n\nHowever, some professors run their classes in such a way that absences do not impact students' grades.  Professors who have classes like this usually believe that it is a student's responsibility to engage with the material, and if they do not, it is the student's loss, and not the professor's concern.\n\nEvery professor I know believes that it is rude and disruptive when students leave class early.   Although I've never failed a student for this, my attitude toward them is certainly affected by their disrespectful behavior.   I'd be much less likely to extend myself to help, or to accept the excuses of a student who regularly demonstrates that they do not respect my life's work.  \n\nWhen students need to leave class early for important appointments (medical or otherwise), or will be missing a class for specific reasons, they usually contact me beforehand and let me know.  When they demonstrate both good manners and a sense of adult responsibility by doing this, I am completely understanding, and am not at all offended.

Underclassman (freshmen & sophomore) classes usually have rules for attendence similar to what you experienced in highschool. As you move into classes in your major area, the professors tend to not care if you attend class, only in the assignments.  Caution, some professors will concider an assignment late if it is not turned in at the BEGINNING of class.\n\nHowever, entering the class late is considered rude and disruptive to the class.  Many professors will penalize you for coming in late.

Yes, because passing a note in class is disruptive and it is being disrespectful to the teacher and to other students.

Having no friends, and having no desire for social interaction isn't wrong. It may be not normal, but nobody's "normal".\n\nIf you don't want friends, don't have any. However, I'm concerned about how you treat others at school. You say you ignore people if they talk to you. That isn't a good thing to do. You don't have to be friends with anyone if you don't want to, but you do have to communicate with others. Unless you have enough money to live my yourself and have food and other supplies delivered to you, then you have to interact with the world. Maybe the people who are offended are only offended that you are rude, and not because you choose not to partake in the same social activities that they do. You don't need to attend any social activities, or have friends, but do you need to be civil to others. \n\nMaybe try working on simply being polite to other people. If you are ignoring everyone because you don't want anything to do with them, then suck it up and just be polite and civil. You don't need to make friends with people or be friendly or even be nice, you just need to work on being polite and civil. \n\nHowever, if you ignore people because you are scared of talking to them, because you don't know how, but you secretly would like to be able to have a pleasant polite conversation with others once in a while, then you can still start by trying to be polite to others.\n\nIf you are happy, then that's great, but it's not okay to be mean to people. It's not wrong to not have friends, but it IS wrong to be mean to people.\n\nIf you're interested in therapy possibly, then you should try going to a psychologist instead of a psychiatrist. I may be wrong, but I think a psychologist deals with behavior and pretty much talks with you and tries to help you that way, and a psychiatrist prescribes medicine. I'm sure your mom would be happy to arrange an appointment with that type of therapist (the kind that doesn't prescribe medicine) if you would let her know that you don't want drugs, but you would like a professional to talk to.\n\nGood luck!

From a teacher's point of view, students certainly behave differently in single - sex classes.  I am a male teaching high school classes, and I have found that girls are more likely to be discipline problems when there are no boys in the classroom.  Boys are a little rougher in single sex classes, but are not distracted as easily.  All in all, I'd rather teach classes with both boys and girls.  This is just the result of my personal observation.
