ALOT of teachers at my school(especially the spanish teacher) pick on certain kids and it annoys the crap out of me. Please don't say you don't believe me, because if you weren't in our class you would have no idea what I am talking about and I guess will never fully understand. You can choose NOT to believe this whole post but I know it's true and it's really sad, IMO.
Alyssa, I never agreed with teachers who punish a whole class because of one student's behavior either. Their philosophy was it'd make the rest of us get hard on the other kid and make him/her behave, but it didn't work that way. I know there are difficult teachers, I had some too. You'll find there will always be difficult people to deal with no matter where you are, supervisors, co-workers, neighbors, landlords, etc etc. You just have to do the best you can and get through it, while trying to keep a hold of your own integrity. You can't control how they behave but you can control how you behave. I would never say that all teachers are infallible or kind or behave the way they should. They are people just like the rest of us and there are ones who behave poorly and ones who conduct themselves in a more respectful way. All you can do is try to be the bigger person. It won't be too long and you won't have to deal with that particular teacher anymore. I know how frustrating it can be.
