In a perfect world, no teacher would spell your name wrong, embarrass you when you don't pay attention, or give an impromptu test on the first day of school after the holidays. However, in real life, you may have to deal with some annoying teachers. Maybe you created problems at the beginning of the meeting. It's also possible that your teacher has a "troublesome" or confrontational personality. If you can find a solution to fix the situation, surely you can remove a lot of stress from your life.
Step
Method 1 of 3: Dealing with an Obnoxious Teacher
Step 1. Ask what your teacher expects
If your teacher doesn't give high marks easily, try asking for additional details when he or she gives assignments. Also ask if there are specific answers or things he asks for, and anything else you need to avoid.
Step 2. Show interest when he tells a long story
Some teachers sometimes get off track and tell long stories that are not really related to the subject being taught. However, try not to look bored and wait for him to get back on the appropriate "track".
Step 3. Just say no if he wants to be friends with you on Facebook
Besides being embarrassing, being friends with an annoying teacher can actually trigger problems. It should not be forced to be a part of your social life. Therefore, say that you only add friends and family on social media.
Step 4. Observe and follow the quiz schedule
Some teachers like to give quizzes or quizzes when students are not ready. However, it is possible that giving this quiz is not done just like that. Find out the most likely times for him to give a quiz or “surprise” test so you can prepare yourself.
- Some teachers give quizzes or impromptu tests after reading assignments.
- If you haven't had a big test in a few weeks, get ready for an impromptu quiz.
- Some teachers “punish” unruly classes with impromptu tests. If your classmates tend to annoy your teacher a lot, start reading through your class notes to prepare yourself.
Method 2 of 3: Make the Pesky Teacher Like You More
Step 1. "Kill" him with kindness
There is a saying that says “Always be kind to your enemies. Nothing is more annoying than the kindness of an enemy. Try to be as polite as possible in class and don't be provoked if he tries to upset or upset you.
- In the end, your kindness can melt him and he will treat you as one of his favorite students.
- If not, well, at least he'll be annoyed when you no longer look upset about it.
Step 2. Watch other students interact with him
Observe the students who are treated better by him. Try to act like them and use the same tone of voice. If you are in an unpleasant situation, ask yourself, “How will he (your favorite teacher) handle this situation? What might he say?”
Step 3. Make sure you always look like you're watching him
The thing that is considered the most annoying for most teachers is being ignored in class. Think about how you felt when you were reading a report or writing in front of the class, while the other children were chatting as if you weren't there. Not fun, right?
- Pretend to write notes. Work on assignments in other subjects, write poems or stories, or make a list of tasks that you need to complete.
- Do not draw or doodle because usually the teachers can see from afar that you are not writing.
Step 4. Bring her a present
If you're too shy to give your teacher a gift in person, keep the gift on his desk after school and add a small message to show that the gift came from you and that you hope he will like it.
- If you buy juice or candy/chocolate during your break, try buying two and giving one to your teacher.
- Take a look at the topics he seems to really like, then print funny or interesting articles on those topics for him.
- Make cookies or brownies, then pack in a small container with 2-3 pieces of cake inside. Give it to all friends and teachers. That way, you won't be impressed as if you brought the cake specifically to "lick" your annoying teacher.
Step 5. Take additional tasks
If your teacher gives you 1-20 questions on the assignment, plus one additional question, always answer the additional question. If your grades aren't that high, ask if you can take on additional assignments or projects to increase your grades. Your teacher will be impressed by your initiative and may want to treat you better.
Step 6. Don't do anything that could make the situation worse
While it's hard to forget or ignore your annoyance, it's important to know if there's anything you can change. Are you always late? Do you often forget to do your homework? Did you cut him off while he was teaching? Improve your behavior and hopefully your teacher will treat you better.
Step 7. Clarify the confusing questions in your own words
If your teacher calls you often and makes you feel embarrassed with complicated questions, try repackaging the questions before you answer them. He may not realize that you don't really understand the question. He just thinks that you are not doing your homework and studying.
Method 3 of 3: Dealing with an Aggressive or Confrontational Teacher
Step 1. Talk to your teacher
If you feel like he treats you worse than the rest of your friends, meet him in person. There may be a minor misunderstanding that needs to be resolved or a bad attitude that one of you can change.
- Set an appropriate time (eg when you and your teacher are not feeling stressed). Don't talk to him when kids are waiting to discuss his test scores, for example, or when he's pressed for time to prepare for a meeting.
- If you're afraid to talk to him alone, find out if a counselor or guidance counselor at your school would like to join the conversation.
Step 2. Involve your parents
If your teacher does something that the school and your parents don't like or accept, you may need to ask your parents to intervene.
- For example, your teacher might punish the entire class for coming to school for mistakes made by some students (and you weren't involved!).
- As another example, your teacher might make malicious comments about race, gender, nationality, or the like.
Step 3. Write a complaint history
If you feel that your teacher is out of control and is not treating you fairly, try to record every incident that happened to you. Write hurtful comments, dates, and chats that happened. Once you have a long list of complaints, meet with your parents or principal to discuss them.
Step 4. Don't start a “war”
It's natural for you to want to complain to your friends, and they will usually agree with you. However, if you do, your teacher can figure it out. This will make the situation worse and cause trouble for your friends as well.
Step 5. Show respect
Frowning, squinting, fighting back words, or simply walking away in the middle of a conversation will only make the situation worse (and will get much worse!). Of course, you don't want to give your teacher any reason to complain about your behavior to your parents or the principal.
Step 6. Accept that you can't always get along well with anyone
Teachers are human too. Sometimes, one person's personality is at odds with the other's, as is the case with friends you are close with, and other friends you can't stand being around. A good teacher will treat all his students with care and kindness, but unfortunately not all teachers are able to behave like that.
- Make sure your parents understand the problem at hand if your teacher complains about you at any time.
- Be as polite as possible and try to go through each class without any “problems”.
Step 7. Look at the situation from a broader perspective
You probably won't be taught by him next year. If you are a high school student, you may only need to pass an hour of class a day. As frustrating as it is to deal with an annoying teacher, don't let that annoyance ruin your life. When you're not in her class, don't let all the images of her ruin your mood.
Tips
- Never go against his words. This kind of interaction will not end well.
- Try to prepare thoroughly for each subject or class. Don't give your teacher a reason to "give you a hard time".
- Complaining about homework will not stop your teacher from giving assignments. He will actually be tempted to give more assignments.
- Never speak or complain aloud during class. Your teacher can still hear you.
