Mean Teachers

Everyone will, at some time in their life, will experience a mean, strict, or otherwise not enjoyable teacher. So how do we deal with these evil freaks of nature? Well for the most peaceful turnout (with the least amount of visits to the principal, hard feelings, and frustration possible) you should be a good student.

How? Pretend you really like the teacher. If you get your homework in on time, and don't cause lots of trouble during class, you should be okay. But if, for whatever reason, you feel like the teacher is picking on you personally, you should probably talk to he/she or at least your parents before you start saying the he/she hates you, because that's usually not the case.

Is it because the teacher never calls on you? Start sitting in the front of the class and maybe you will be noticed more. Or does he/she give you more trouble when you do some thing than he does with others? Then try to take it as a compliment. Maybe more is expected from you than the class bully.

If you do all of the things listed here, your best bet is that your teacher's got problems--personal problems--and it's not about you. Also- talk to friends that have the same teacher. Are they feeling the same way? Chances are, some of them probably feel the way you do. And if they do, you'll all know you're not alone.

Just don't spread rumors about the teacher, unless you want to end up in the office.
