why do i get nervous in class when the teacher asks me a question, even though i know the answer?

maybe you're nervous because you're aware that the whole class is listening to you and subconsciously, you're afraid to make mistake .Or you're just being too self-conscious about it. We all have the same quality more or less, people wanting to make good impressions, when the irony of it is that you have to make mistakes to be a better person.

My business teacher, when we would raise our hands to ask a question, she would say, "What's the beef?"  =)  I always got a good laugh.  It is just an annoying way to say, "What is your/her/his problem?"

Don't worry, it could be just some kind of added stress on you with school, sports, etc.\n\nIt happens, especially when you're younger like you are.

Well im a student so i wouldnt know!!  But i can imagine, depends what type of teacher you are, ive had two different english teachers, the one at GCSE was really nice and understanding and therefore the students respected her and she was happy but the one at A level is really weird and is always moody so therefore we react to this and therefore she probably feels like that and the less praise we get, the least we want to try!!!  A little tip!!!

I am a 7th grade teacher and understand your fear.  If it makes you feel better, most 7th graders have the same fear.  See if you can visit the school before it begins to get an idea of where your classes are.  Most likely you will not get lost and I can assure you that after just a couple of days you will know the campus fairly well.  Sometimes it is also helpful to find friends that are heading to the same class that you are.  Often the school will have an orientation, at that time you may  be able to learn more about the campus.

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....

You say you're "pretty scared," which most people would not say.  You probably have severe anxiety, which leads to depression almost all of the time.  Therefore, it's probably hard for you get motivated to do your work before the last minute, and when you do, you are too afraid of making mistakes.\n\nTrust me, I know.. I've been through it.  Go to a psych.

While I am not usually shy, sometimes I do get shy.  Also, sometimes I feel like I can't seem to know enough, which sometimes frustrates me into not wanting to learn anymore.  However, a lot of times I use it for motivation to produce the opposite effect - to learn more.

I have that problem when I'm anxious. It seems my mouth is ahead of my brain. Just relax, and you should be fine.

If she is not able to understand why u r trying to calm her she will pay the price for it in the outside world and that will knock her back to her senses. Smirk or ignore her when she does this. AND MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL REPORT 2 UR TEACHER.

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 have this problem so bad that I had a college professor tell me that  he would look at me to see if he was making his point. Told me he could always tell what I was getting it or if he wanted a debate whether I was game. I also notice when at meetings often I am the one the speaker looks at when that ask "Any questions?"

First thing and most popular mistake: Most pupils panic and start learning a lot of stuff. That's senseless, you just overwrite the old things.\n\nTry to keep cool. Leave your classroom. It's crammed with nervousity which could easily infect you. My tactic is to sit down somewhere in a quiet corner, close my eyes and think of nothing. That cleans your head.

No, you should be comfortable.  If you are nervous it will hinder your ability to learn.

Hey, when I am relaxed and not worried about a test, I do much better on it. When I am freaking out, I generally do worse.
