Not Really Quite Sure What My Teachers Asking Here

My teacher is really mad at me?

So I took a mini break from school to go on a trip out of country to meet my relative s. Anyways, although I haven't been going to school I had to do my work from here through a school website.

One of my teachers asked me to email her images of the completed work I missed, since it's near the end of third quarter, so she could add it to the grade book. So, I figured one of my other teachers might want that as well. I sent her quite a few images of the work I missed, but didn't realize it was over the MB amount limit.

She sent me an email (she seemed really pissed) saying how I blocked her email, and she didn't REQUEST that I email her work. And repeated "please don't send anymore" twice. At the end she wrote "I'll see you when you get back."

She seems reaaally pissed and I'm going back in two days. She's definitely going to yell at me as she is super strict and uptight. And I have no idea what to do? Or say when I get back? Should I email her back saying something? Am I making too big a deal out of this?

Please help. :-//

Why does my teacher keep asking if im ok?

like everyday she would ask its hot why wont u take off ur jacket. or is every thing ok at home .i usually stay quite most of the day unless some 1 askes me a question. even at lunch my friends r acting like they hate me now. my teacher asks questions like that everyday . im 13 if it matters

My mom wants to conference my teacher because of nothing!?

I'm sorry you have to endure. Your mom may be a little overboard, but know it comes from a place of caring and worry for you.

Unfortunately, until you're 18, she has the right to be active in your education every step of the way. Grin and bear it! (and don't go below a B ever again!). Lol.

How do I tell if my teacher is pregnant?

I'm a 7th grade teacher and I think its really sweet that you care. Don't pay attention to the people who say its none of your business and you shouldn't care. Its a sign of a thoughtful, mature student who is able to care about her teachers and your teacher is lucky to have you.

I'm pregnant and I didn't want to tell my students until I was out of my first trimester because there's a higher risk of miscarriage before your second trimester and if that happened I didn't want my students to feel bad for me. I also have some students that are terrible and I didn't want them to view me as having a temporary weakness. These are reasons why your teacher may not have told you.

So be patient and in the mean time just treat her like she is, because if she's not pregnant then she might be very ill. Just be sweet to her and offer to run errands for her, pick things up for her if she drops something and ask her how she's doing every once in a while. My students have been SOOOOO sweet and attentive since I told them I'm pregnant. i wish I had told them earlier. Don't take her mood swings personally unless she obviously gets out of hand. Sometimes we can't help it either. Teaching is very stressful, and it can make you worried about the health of your baby. But don't worry, she cant hide it forever, and she'll tell you when she's ready and able.

What do teachers think of students who rarely answer questions in class?

I usually assume that they are shy. I rarely answered questions when I was a student. Indeed, I was very shy and also lacked self-confidence. People who know me now sometimes have trouble believing that I was once so enormously shy.As a professor, I have a way of handling this issue that has been quite effective. I’ll ask a question, and then ask students to raise their hands if they don’t want to be called upon. I never call on anyone who raised a hand, but I do try to pick on someone who hasn’t ever spoken in class, or who appears to be hiding from me.Of course, you have to overcome modest shyness just to raise your hand.This approach serves another purpose: it makes students think about whether they do know the answer or not. Too often students, after they hear an answer from another student, think to themselves, “I knew that!” But more often than not, they didn’t. My method forces the student to decide if he/she really does or not, before hearing the answer. It also gives me a useful gauge of how well the students are learning the material from my lecture.

I feel like some of my teachers don't like me. What could be the reasons for this, and what should I do?

Sometimes it has nothing to do with you. A lot of answers here presuppose that you are at fault and not the teacher. Teachers are human, and human beings make judgements about other people based not only on rationality, but feelings and free associations. Perhaps, you remind them of a person they knew in the past. Perhaps you look like another student from a previous year, or a peer from their own school days. They may just not like your voice.  If this is the case, the teacher will never cop to it, and you'll never understand why you grind on this particular person. I once had a teacher who would not stop comparing to another Asian female student who left  the school before I had started. I couldn't do anything about it because that's just how my teacher compartmentalizes and processes information. In these cases, changing or trying to amend how someone sees you is simply not worth your effort.It can be very frustrating when people  in positions of power over you do not respond to your personality, work, or outlook. Luckily, in the case of teachers, that power is temporary.

Is it okay for a teacher to use me as an example of what not to do?

Before I answer, I want to make sure I understand this correctly.Your answer to an essay, which she asked you to write for your assignment after the class viewed a video together about slavery was, “Too complicated”.You're saying that was your answer?If so, she used it as an example, without your name, to teach the class about what and what not to write for an assignment—-and you feel she used you as an example? Without your name?She also waited two weeks to do this which makes me think she thought long and hard about doing this, and you're angry because you're:embarrassedhumiliatedhurt, betrayed ?Are you angry at her?Or at yourself?Do YOU think that was honors class work? If you were a teacher, would you even accept the answer ”too complicated” to anything?I wouldn't, and I am a special needs teacher. Those children have a hard time but they'd never do such a thing.With her job as a teacher, do you think she'd be doing her job, along with getting you ready to send to college, with the work you turned in? (or didn't turn in)Is there a reason why the others still completed it, though it was “complicated”?Okay. Here's my answer. I'm ready.Here is what a mature person would do…They’d go to class and announce, with honesty and conviction, that it was them who did that answer, and then offer to do a live presentation of your assignment, with slides and PowerPoint, and a complete oral presentation, all wrapped up in a pretty red bow.Show that teacher who you REALLY are as a student.She didn't do this to embarrass you. She did it to make you think. She's tired (and probably a bit sad believe it or not—we get hurt too, just like you do) of you taking her class, along with her hard work trying to teach you, as a joke. She's tried all year, and you haven't progressed like she had hoped.She likes you but she knows you can do better, a lot better.The problem is you're angry and your thinking needs reigning in. That’s where I come in.Get angry at yourself and redo that assignment like no one has ever done before.Show her she's wrong about you…or is she right? Remember, this is how she'll remember you the rest of your life. Are you just going to sit there and let someone believe you're that lazy?No, I didn't think so. Good luck, and I'd like to hear about your presentation when you're done, if that's okay with you. It sounds fascinating.

My math teacher hates me!?

So, I am pretty sure she hates me. What happened was...I dont really like the way she teaches. She's kind of a "figure it out yourself and I will help you if you really need it" person. However, I am really terrible at math, and so I've always gotten teachers who are patient, detailed, and organized. But this new teacher I have goes fast, she's messy, and very unclear. So I've been going to her at lunch for extra help, and it's not helping because she just goes too fast and skips over steps. So I got my parents involved and we emailed my vice principal and counselor about possibly pairing me with a different teacher. That was the day before yesterday. So when I went to the school the next day, she was really short with me. For example, I went up to her and I told her "I really don't understand how to add rational expressions with unlike denominators. Can we go over it in detail together?" So she gives me a problem and tells me to do it while she heats up her lunch. Then when I finished the problem, she was like "what is this? This is completely wrong. Do you have an idea what it is that you're doing?" And I was like "um no that's why I'm here, asking for help on my own time. I wouldn't be here if I got it." I feel like she knows that I talked to my vice principal and now she's mad. But I have an F in her class and I haven't had an F ever. So, how can I be sure she hates me? Does it sound like she's mad? If so, how can I get her to understand that I need help?

Why are teachers so harsh?

Some context is required for this question, so I will detail the events that lead to me asking this question.

I usually have someone supporting me in lessons, and the people that come in to support me are offended way too easily and overreact to everything.

here's an example:
*I am reading my coursework on the computer screen with no particular expression on my face, neither good nor bad.
Support woman: OMG! WHY ARE YOU IN A MOOD!?
Me: I am not in a mood!
Support woman: DON'T YOU DARE SPEAK TO ME LIKE THAT! HOW RUDE!
*She walks off for a few minutes and comes back a few minutes later
Support Woman: Are we going to have any more incidents? Or have you calmed down?

Tell me if I'm wrong...but I fail to see how that was in any way my fault...this was quite recent...but in october a handful of things similar to this occurred and I was taken to the office of the woman that is in charge of support for the college I attend.

Head of Support (HOS): This has nothing to do with your condition, you are doing this on purpose (I suffer from aspergers if that provides some insight as to why i have support in the first place) and if you continue to disrespect our staff then I will take you to the vice principal's office and you will be expelled.

Hang on....EXPELLED? FOR WHAT? (I didn't actually say this)
