what's the stupidest reason a teacher has hated you?

nets_balla · 04-03-2008, 07:17 PM

my history teacher this year really hates my class. we're an honors US History II (juniors), and nobody has any respect for this teacher. i mean all most people do in class is talk, even during tests. besides, she's not exactly the toughest teacher around. needless to say, she hates everybody in my class except one kid. most of the class she hates because they dont behave, which is understandable.

the rest of the people she hates (me and 2 other kids) because we are moving up into AP next year. The first semester, i had a 97 average (97, 97, 97 midterm), but this marking period, i have an 81! (and i have actually been trying harder this MP) now i admit, i did deserve SOME of the lower grades she gave me, but not all of them. but i just can't shake the fact that she just finds any kind of reason to take points off. for example, i got my new deal test back today: 51/60. i know, not bad. but its an 85, 12 pts lower than my 1st semester avg. i really dont want to go into the stupid reasons she took off points. and i also got a paper back, a paper i thought i absolutely aced. i got a 45/50. once again, not a bad score at all. but i usually get 100s on my papers. when i said out loud "how did i only get a 45?" my teacher responded (seemingly to the whole class, but in reality to me) something along the lines of "some people in this class really like to hear themselves talk. longer doesn't necessarily mean better. also, big words don't impress me" first of all, my paper was only 3 pages and a few lines, which is only 1 page longer than a lot of other people's. secondly, its not like i just filled it with useless mumbo jumbo. i actually put good stuff in there. now, i was aiming for 3 pgs, but still those 3 pgs were very good. also, i didn't use that many big words if any.

with those things, i can handle. i mean fine, maybe she may not think that those 3 pgs were top-of-the-line, which is very tolerable. but the thing that makes me mad is that the class average for the test and paper were like 56/60 and 48/50 (i'm guessing). i am at least in the top 5 in the class, and i have been actually trying (people actually ask me for studyguides). sure, i used to complain about how much work she gave us (because she gave us alot and we were used to nothing in that class), but i've stopped talking in that class in general for like the past 2 months.

i think this is the 1st time in my school that a teacher has hated a student (or students because this is happening to 2 other people) because he/she was doing well in a class. once again, it's not that i'm doing too bad, but going from a 97 to an 81 has got to raise a few eyebrows.

(sorry for the long post. its just that i've been doing really well this year and this is getting in my way. plus, its the first time a teacher has hated me. and o yeah, this may be just a rant thread, but i needed to get it out.)

Well in 4th grade gym class, my teachers HATED (not even joking, I got in trouble almost everyday and so did a few other guys) boys + minority people. Wrote me up for things I didn't do.
My band teacher right now realllllly hates me (which sucks cuz this may affect my transcript) because i've been missing class.
haha ok maybe the second one wasn't a stupid reason, but the first one was

My Health teacher hates me because she thinks im rude and I talk back but shes just dumb.

We were doing this group activity where 5 people are in a group and she gave our group six people so i go wait, isn't that 6. and she freaks out on me and goes DONT YOU TELL ME WHAT TO DO, I THINK I KNOW WHAT IM DOING SMARTY, IM THE TEACHER HERE, NOT YOU.

it was actually really funny.

These past two years I've had math teachers that don't *quite* hate me, but even that was rather cold. I'm used to being close with my math teachers. Last year it started badly at first because my teacher was skeptical of a freshman in a sophomore class. Then I proved that I did the best in class, and she must have thought I was haughty because I kept quiet in class, while everyone else seemed to have been friends for a long time (we had just moved to a smallish town). This year, my teacher hadn't known of my lower grade level until after 1st semester was over, but it's still rather cold how she treats me. Luckily there's no completely random reason like yours that they can take off for in math. But I totally feel for you, it might be beneficial to contact your guidance counselor.

My Religion teacher hates me because I ask questions a lot. He doesn't like to answer questions...

All my gym teachers in grammar school hated me. I wasn't the most athletic little kid.

You mean...what's the stupidest reason for which paranoia has caused you to believe that a teacher with 100 students or more would direct onto you personally an intense feeling of animosity?

My history teacher hates me because my mom is also a history teacher and they don't see eye to eye on anything. My state requirements teacher hated me because my friends talked. My spanish teacher hates me becase I know he makes up words and have no respect for him

Oh yeah my mom says teachers don't have time to hate students but she has never been in my history class

My old english techer hated me since I wasn't a feminist.

I was a quiet, studious type.

My 8th grade teacher hated me because we shared the same first name. No lie. My friends were apalled at how rude she was to me when I was so quiet and timid.

My Math Analysis teacher publicly chided me for knowing the answer before the rest of the class.

My AP Lang teacher hated me because I was an outspoken Athiestic Conservative and she considers herself part of the religious left. It was really easy (and loads of fun) to upset her with Scroogian arguments to her all important social problems. (I was also the best student, which irritated her to no end)
