Everyone has had at least one terrible teacher in their life. Yours might scream, scold you for trivial mistakes, or even hate you for no particular reason! Learning how to handle the teacher can take some effort, but if you apply yourself, you can cope with it.
Steps
Step 1. Always do your homework
It doesn't matter if the answers are wrong, you will demonstrate the effort you put in to give it your all.
Step 2. Always pay attention in class
Show that you are trying to learn. Do not talk to peers while the teacher is explaining, as this is usually thought of as annoying and would remember it. Eventually you might even get a note if you do it consistently.
Step 3. Take notes
It is an important part of being a student. Show that you are trying to understand what you are being taught. If taking notes isn't necessary, keep eye contact with your teacher.
Step 4. Keep your belongings organized at all times
If you forget something, nothing happens, but if you constantly borrow a pen or paper, the teacher may get angry.
Step 5. Don't be late
Just like with school supplies, if you have a mishap once or twice nothing happens, but be careful because the teacher could take it anyway.
Step 6. Ask questions
Teachers like it. In fact, asking shows that at least you are learning. However, you have to ask questions relevant to the matter. Don't be afraid to ask, not knowing the subject would actually put you in a much worse position.
Step 7. Be polite
Always take good manners as teachers can be quite strict about it.
Step 8. Don't try to argue
To address the injustice, instead of arguing, talk to your parents or a school counselor.
Step 9. Think before you speak
Cut out the "Um" or "Uh" and you will sound more mature and controlled, which can be useful for making the teacher appreciate you.
Step 10. Try a little more
When you see the teacher in the hall or outside the classroom, smile and greet him politely (if you are shy it will be a difficult thing to try).
Step 11. If you try to be nice to the teacher, they may even end up liking you
Advice
- If you have any learning problems (such as dyslexia) let the teacher know so he will try to understand you better.
- Focus on ways to improve your life instead of thinking about the things that make it worse. Remember that mean teachers don't stay forever in your life.
- Prove that you are trying. Teachers want to know you're committed. If you don't know how, ask for help.
- If you have a bad teacher, keep your mouth shut as much as possible.
Warnings
- If your teacher behaves in a cruel and unpleasant way, to the point of threatening or harming you physically or verbally, tell the parents and the principal and he will be fired from the school!
- Petty teachers often have serious problems inherited from childhood and love to make others feel bad.
