 You know...a good teacher can shape a young persons mind, inspire, transform, motivate. A bad teacher can have the equal and opposite effect.
I do understand you being upset by this. My art teacher treated me dreadfully. My whole life and passion was art, it was all I ever wanted to do, and no matter how much I tried, nothing was good enough. It effected my confidence in matriculating into university. Now I look back and I realise that sometimes teachers are in the job for the wrong reason...have you heard of the saying, "those than can do, those that can't teach"...unfortunately there are some teachers who are in the job not for the love of teaching, but because they couldn't make it at their chosen profession.
I do agree with Phil so far to say, you need to go and speak to your head teacher about it.

Hi,not all personalities work well together, and despite the fact she is your teacher so should be mature enough to ignore that fact, it is still there, so bear that in mind, it could just purely be a personality clash.You have a few options, you could speak to her and say that you feel sometimes she is singling you out from the other people in the class, and you are finding it hurtful and wonder if there is a reason for it and if so is there anything you could change ( this possibly will leave her stumped that you are willing to challenge her, isn't rude or out of place so you get in trouble, and also asks her if you can do something to solve it which is a proactive route).You could also ask if you could move places, if she thinks you are part of a troublesome group because of where you sit, you may just have been wrongly classed as a trouble maker and she is genuinely only noticing when you are talking in class or so on so she is getting that impression more.Failing that you could see a head of year or tutor and express your feelings to them, they may be able to solve it better than you can.Good luck I hope thats of some help to you

Take up you complaint with the head teacher!

 well i remember being in situations like that and getting in trouble and being confused why. So i moved from some of the jokers in my class and kept quite in lesson, and just participated a bit more. Soon enough the teacher relised i was good and we got on fine and still are to this day even when im in 6th form. Ive helped teach in disruptive classes and its hard knowing your there to help them get on in life and they dont care. Just show her your there to learn and they will be nive to you. If a teacher sees you laughing with the group they cant really say your not apart of it and have to group you the jokers.
