Why does my teacher always try to make me feel small?

Question - (10 February 2010) 2 Answers - (Newest, 11 February 2010)
A female United Kingdom age 30-35, anonymous writes:

Hey,

Ok basically, this isn't a relationship question but I kind of need some advice.

I'm in college at the moment and I have this teacher, she seems ok but sometimes she can kind of talk down on you, like I'm 5 or something.

And today I accidently forgot half of my homework (I had handed in the other half) and I can understand why she might be annoyed, but it was like she was trying to make me out to be a liar when I told her - which got me angry because I obviously don't appreciate being called a liar.

Anyway, I just can't stand it to be honest, she's the type of person who will say something and see it as a joke at someone elses expense and my patience is wearing thin.

I'm worried that because of this dislike for my teacher that my work might suffer, which I don't want to happen obviously, it's not like I can do much either as I'm only a student.

I know I probably sound like a pathetic, average teenager right now but this has been going on since the beginning of term and I've been dealing but I feel like I'm going to explode at her soon.

Anyway, any advice would be appriciated, thanks :)

Thanks so much for the advice =) that hadn't really occured to me before.

In one ear and out the other - I think I can handle that =) .. yeahh I kind of realize that now, probably should have been more prepared for it =P

I know I shouldn't, but because of what she says/does I kind of get the feeling 'why bother' =/

But I think just ignoring her might do the trick =)

Thanks soo much, it's greatly appriciated =) x

Onlyonequestion agony auntI've had many teachers like the one you're describing, my way of dealing with them is just ignore all the negative comments, make them go through one ear and out the other..being patient and calm is the best way to go..if nothing changes, it would be best to bring in your parent and have a talk with your guidance councilor, and explain why having this teacher, isn't helping you get the grades you want. Also, you should never let the disliking of the teacher get in the way for you to make good grades, all i could say is keep your head up high and don't listen to the unnecessary comments she makes to you; because you will soon realize you will have to deal with so many different characters of teachers once you go to college..Anyway Good Luck and hope you get something out of this!
