Teacher Troubles :/

[waffles]

Hey - sorry to be a pest

right, i'm having trouble with my history teacher - basically me and her just clash. all the time.

she's really loud, and a "in your face" kind of person, and i'm shy untill you get to know me.

she's taught me for a while now, and she's always annoyed me, but its getting to the point now where i am missing most of my history lessons because i get sent out

today, for instance, she moved everyone in the class around, and sat me far away from my friends, who all got to sit next to eachother, but tbh i wasnt that bothered, i didnt really think anything of it.

then she asked us a question and said, "Lily - i can see you've answered it, what have you put?"

so i said, "i havent finished it yet miss, sorry."

so she stood there looking at me, before yelling, "well get it done then!"

two minutes later she re-asks me, so i read my answer out of my book.

then she said, "no - i want you to read out what you've just wrote down!"

so i said "that is what i've just wrote down"

she shook her hed, and said, "well it doesn't make sense"

so i didnt bother, i just thought, well, when she tells us the right answer i will just jot it down so i know in the future.

so she asks sean, sean said almost the exact same thing as me, and he got "well done! you're so clever"

its sooo annoying! then later on she asked me another question which i answered, and then i got sent out, because "i dont listen, and i am rude"

i honestly do listen, because history is my worst subject, and although i hate it i do want to pass. and i genuinely dont think i am rude, im too quiet to answer back...

i don't know what to do! i cant stand the teacher, but i do try.




just in case you were wondering about my answer to the question it was:

people liked the american GI's because they were friendly, nice and open to the british way of life. they enjoyed socialising with british people. although they were popular, british troops were often jealous as they got paid more.

the correct answer ( which in my opnion is almost the same) is:

people liked the GI's , especially women because they brought them presents and socialised, whereas some men were jealou as the GI's were offered more social opportunties.


so any advice?



(btw, sorry, i've noticed every time i post its negative )

Have you spoken to your tutor, that would be my first port of call. Also speak to your parents. I had a teacher like this for science and he debileratley(sp) made mine and my friends lessons hell. He used to repeatedley call me thick especially if I asked a question. I went to the HOD (who was also my tutor) but it turned out their were very pally outside of work so me and 20 friends and classmates went to the head after making a diary and recording what had been said to us. The head was good and listened and things did change we just had to find a way to make an impact. Said teacher has since left after telling our parents that we were to blame for him hating his job. Fortunatley our parents knew better.
Seriously go talk to someone cos it sounds like she's bullying you for no reason

[waffles]

Thanks BD, i might do that - she is the HOD, and my form tutor is her husband but there's a few teachers i trust, so i will talk to them. i think i might copy you and do a diary

also, i have to hand an essay in on the 8th, whereas everyone else has till the 15th, because apparantly "i never hand homework in on time" which isnt true.
also the fact that she lives literally next door to me doesnt help, because she makes sly comments in class saying "what were you upto last night lily?" in a sarcastic tone.

thanks BD, i'm going to write down everything she says/does and see if i can get someone to talk to,

my friends just text me saying "bloody hell, does mrs haydock have it in for you or what?" so its not just me who thinks this

Ah well thats a bit of a buggar lol. Have you got a seniot management team at your school, maybe a word with them would work

[waffles]

I have a senior management team, but if im honest, they wont do anything, i think i'll go to my head, because he teaches me RS and knows what im like

[fimacg]

Good lick waffles, she sounds like a total nightmare and utterly unprofessional.

Maybe you should very politely tell her next time she asks what you were doing last night.

"I'm sorry Miss but I do try to keep my private life and and school life seperate, I'm sure you can respect that" (make sure you smile when you say it)

Its pointed but not rude and will probably make her think twice before picking on you again. I'll never ever forget the time I did something similar to my geography teacher when he was giving me a riot for not handing in my homework when he knew I was working all hours of the day and night on various school stuff. My line to him "I'm terribly sorry sir but I have so much on right night I have to prioritise what is most important and unfortunately on this occasion the geography homework wasn't it"

He never picked on me again!

[florence]

Sounds like one of my old teachers. He made my life a misery. When my parents went to the parent teacher evening he tgried to be all pally and cheerful with me and said to them "I don't think she likes me". I went to the Deputy Head and complained and the comments did stop He more or less ignored me after that, but that was fine by me!

When you go to the head, make sure you tell him that she's making you hand in homework a lot earlier than the rest of the class. That really shows that she's picking on you.

[waffles]

handed my homework in on time today - a week earlier than anyone else (not that i had much choice)

she told me my handwriting was scruffy, but i told her that considering i had to do complete an essay in four days i think its okay. honest to god, i detest that woman. - she's half witch, half devil ;D

i've told my head teacher, and he said he'd keep an eye on things, and if there are anymore incidents to let him know

fimacg - haha - if she says that to me again i will say that ;D after all, if she wants to say stuff about my private life - i can easily say it about hers ;D

thankyouu ;D xxx

Take notes of everything she says to you and your responses in one class then show it to her after class with a very polite 'I dont think u realise ur doing it, but u really are bullying me in these classes and if u cant control urself sufficiently to teach me int eh same manner as every other pupil I will have to refer the matter on'. When she point blank denies that she's said any of that(which she probably will), say 'well mayb I heard it differently as I am very scared when u start in on me for no reason' then say u'll record her some time so she can hear it herself and there can be no doubts. She'll b on best behaviour for a few lessons then revert back. REcord her once she's being a loon again and take it to senior, senior management.

This is bullying and will not be tolerated by governers - trust us all n play the game better than she can!

[waffles]

thanks arumanii - luckily i only have one lesson left with her this academic term, but i am stilling going to keep a record, so if/when this continues next year i'll still have a record of it

might sound stupid - but i didnt even realise governers could do anything!

thankyou ;D

Sounds like someone is in the wrong profession. Teachers have no business treating children like that. They are supposed to be role models for heavens sake.

Can you take a tape recorder into class with you? What better way to capture the words and tones. I despise those who use their authority to abuse those who can't fight back. Have you told your parents? I'm coming over the tail end of Sept. till the middling of Oct. If you have her as a teacher then, heck never mind who she's teaching, point her out to me and she'll wish she'd never had an unkind thought of any of her students let alone terrorizing you or any other student.

She fits into the bully. D$%m that makes me mad.

[waffles]

I could try and record her on my phone? then again, i'd probably get into more trouble than she would
have told my mum and dad, but they dont really get it, i suppose they think she's like that with everyone

haha gnuton - you're very welcome to pop into my school anytime
