Do you want to be liked by the teacher? Being a teacher's favorite student may get you better grades, but that's not a guarantee. Do you want to get a little freedom from the teacher? Or maybe you want to be your favorite student without being the golden boy? Then keep reading!
Step
Method 1 of 3: Becoming an Exemplary Disciple
Step 1. Work harder to make a good impression on the teacher by getting good grades, especially in subjects you are not very good at
Show a positive attitude and help others, the teacher will like you. Being positive will show the teacher that you respect everyone and are willing to lend a helping hand when needed. If a classmate doesn't understand something, while the teacher is busy or tired, you can offer to help explain it. This will show that you have the qualities of a student who is willing to learn and share. Master admires this kind of attitude.
Step 2. Find out what the teacher likes
Some teachers like students to be calm, and ask questions only when needed, while other teachers prefer that students always respond to show their interest in the lesson. Learn what teachers like by observing their interactions with other students. Once you find out what he likes, do it as much as possible.
Step 3. Maintain a positive attitude
Give praise for the work of other students, even give positive suggestions. Showing support and understanding will show that you have compassion and dedication to help others. Most teachers like to see this kind of behavior.
Step 4. Don't act like the “golden boy” and keep trying to help
Such an attitude will invite trouble (and can irritate classmates). You can be sure after that you will be asked to help after school hours. Volunteer to help out or participate in out-of-school projects on a regular basis, but don't take part in every activity. That way, you show interest and responsibility without getting stuck or buying up all the compliments.
Step 5. Be orderly in class
Don't interrupt the conversation because the teacher will think you want to interfere in everything. Try to speak up when asked to or while doing group work. Rebutting the teacher's words may embarrass you and make him angry.
Step 6. Show a friendly attitude
Take it a step further by having a casual conversation, either before or after class. If he mentions something in particular about his family, ask how things are going, especially if it's something tough or difficult. The teacher will feel that you have enough respect to care for him as a person, and not just see him as a bad person. In addition, if the teacher likes to joke, there's nothing wrong with joking with him once in a while.
Step 7. Show respect
This can at least be shown by not contradicting his words, insulting or opposing the teacher. Maybe this is difficult to do, especially with teachers who are cruel by nature. However, if you are polite to him, he will look stupid if you are rude to you. Also, do what the teacher says as quickly as possible. By obeying his orders, you will succeed in achieving your goals. It's a good idea to greet you when you see it. Look for his birthday information and congratulate him. Respect your teacher. Make sure you are never late for class.
Step 8. Don't talk until it's your turn
If you open your mouth before being invited, while the teacher and other students are talking, he will think you are rude and disrespectful.
Step 9. Think before you speak
If you ask a stupid question or ask something that was already explained, it shows that you are not paying attention!
Step 10. Don't interrupt the teacher
When the teacher explains something, let him finish it. If you don't understand, you can ask questions, but if you wait for him to finish explaining, there's a good chance your question will be answered without needing to be asked. The teacher doesn't like being interrupted because it shows disrespect and can also mess up the plans he has made.
Step 11. Get involved
In addition to paying attention to the lessons in class, you must also show involvement. Teachers appreciate students nodding when they understand something. Ask questions if you're still confused, and the teacher will be happy to answer. If the teacher throws a question throughout the class, answer a question that you actually know the answer to. It shows that you can learn and retain information, and teachers really want that. Especially by giving answers like “yes” or “no” when asked. Being silent when asked makes the teacher feel that no one is paying attention to the lesson. Expressing opinions in class without worrying about what your friends think will earn you respect for participating and paying attention to the lesson. It also shows that you are trying to understand the topic being discussed. If there is something you don't understand, ask the teacher. If you don't agree with what the teacher says, say it frankly, but in a polite way and if he stands up for his point of view, retract your statement.
Method 2 of 3: Taking Responsibility for Yourself
Step 1. Prepare yourself
Always complete the assigned task. Always respect your teachers, classmates, rules, school and so on. This attitude helps you prepare for anything.
Step 2. Watch the lesson
Don't chat with friends during class. Don't text, or keep looking at the clock, or the teacher will think you don't care what he has to say. Show respect and high motivation, even if the topic is very boring. There is nothing a teacher hates more than a student who ignores him. Try to make eye contact if possible, and smile when he sees you. Don't laugh or giggle. Laugh when the teacher makes a "joke".
Step 3. Make sure your lesson notes are complete
Write them all down: when, where, what, who. Do not repeat the same questions about the basic facts already explained. For example: don't ask what chapter to read. You must have a method for taking notes in class, while paying attention. Show that you care and really want to learn.
Step 4. Talk to the teacher like you would talk to an ordinary person
Get to know them better, ask how they are. Asking if he's having fun on the weekends shows you're interested in his life. Commenting on her appearance, or simply chatting with her will create a bond of friendship. However, keep in mind that not all teachers want to talk about their personal lives. Therefore, you must observe which teacher is willing to respond to the conversation in a friendly manner.
Step 5. Submit assignments on time
If not, you may have to do it again, and you will fall behind your classmates.
Step 6. Be honest
If you're not doing your homework, don't pretend. Offer to take extra credits to make up for missed tasks. Be honest about it and apologize. Most teachers, or perhaps all of them, value honesty over white lies.
Step 7. Don't forget to do your homework
Create a system to make it easier for you to save your homework, for example, while you're working on it, put a folder and bag near you so you can immediately save your finished homework there.
Method 3 of 3: Showing Intelligence and Creativity
Step 1. Show creativity
One powerful way to get your teacher to like you is to make your own thank you card. They will be happy to receive it. When working on a project, do more than expected. Have fun while completing tasks!
Step 2. Find out if there are any common interests
Maybe you both like the same sports team, or are both crazy about animated films. Shared interests can be a topic of conversation when you finish assignments early and the teacher isn't busy. If he finds out that you know he has certain interests, just like you and your classmates, he'll like you even more.
On a special day for the teacher, give him something he likes. For example, birthdays. This action will show that you think about him
Step 3. Complete the task early
If possible, finish and submit homework early. It shows that you care about the subject. That way, you won't leave it at home by the set deadline.
Step 4. Do research outside of lessons
Not that you have to write an essay or anything like that. You just need to take it a step further with what you learn in class. Ask questions that may not relate to the specific topic being studied, but relate to the area the teacher has mastered. It's even more helpful if the questions asked are thought provoking or you've been meaning to ask for a long time. It can also show that you're learning something the teacher hasn't mentioned in class or are finding a new perspective. The teacher will be happy to see your efforts because it shows that you care enough about the topic at hand to go the extra mile.
Step 5. Take extra credit assignments
This step will help boost your grades and make the teacher like you more. Try doing two or three extra credit assignments, and try to pick an assignment that's a bit difficult, but not so hard that you don't know how to do it, and not so easy that the teacher will think you can't do a more difficult task than that.
Tips
- Don't cheat on exams. If you are caught red-handed, the teacher will feel disappointed and will not trust you anymore.
- Teachers tend to value hard work and higher quality work. As much as possible try to maintain good marks on every assignment and exam. Getting good marks for the little things can show that you put a lot of time and effort into them.
- Make sure you do your homework neatly.
- Show a friendly attitude.
- Do not use inappropriate language around the teacher or in his class.
- Say “thank you” and “Can I go to the bathroom?” rather than “I need to go to the bathroom”. You have to sound polite, and teachers prefer correct grammar.
- If the teacher says something wrong, such as an incorrect calculation result, you can offer a correction by raising your hand and pointing out the error made. Some people don't like being corrected, but the teacher will probably appreciate your actions because the right answers will ensure the class is on the right track and you're paying attention to the lesson.
- Please keep in mind that asking permission to go to the bathroom can sometimes be distracting to the teacher. Choose the right time to ask permission to go to the toilet. This will show the teacher that you are mature enough and know when to interrupt.
- Try to develop a smart sense of humor, and know when to use it. Avoid pornographic jokes in class and jokes that offend or insult others.
- If you want to discuss something that is not directly related to the topic being discussed in class, wait until class is over or before class starts. If you do this during class, the teacher may feel annoyed and your friends may think you want to show off or seek attention.
Warning
- Don't ask when class is over: this will indicate that you want class to end soon.
- If you know what annoys a teacher, don't do or talk about it. In the teacher's view, it shows respect and appreciation.
- Don't be rude to the teacher.
- Don't play around while the teacher is explaining.
- Don't cheat on tests and exams.
- Don't laugh when the teacher makes a mistake.
- Don't do your homework in class because you should participate and listen to the lesson.
- Never insult the teacher.
- Don't chat in class.
- Do not intimidate other children in class.
- Don't ask if you missed a lesson when you didn't come to class. Of course you missed the lesson! Showing that you didn't miss a lesson, even though you didn't go to class could be considered insulting. Borrow a friend's notes and learn what you missed.
- Don't overdo it by asking the teacher to "chat casually". Teachers and other kids can think of you as a golden child.
- Do not play with school belongings while sitting in class.
