Do you think its right for a teacher to insult a student?

Yeah, that was uneccessary for her to say. I wouldn't make a big deal out of it or let it get you down though. Just shrug it off and forget about it.

Something very similar to that happened to my daughter when she was in seventh or eighth grade.  She wrote a very polite letter to the principal and copied it to the teacher who gossiped, explaining what happened, and that she felt the teacher should not have done that.  The result was that the teacher apologized.  The key here would be for you to be very calm and courteous in your letter and simply explain what happened and that you think it isn't right for the teacher to discuss your personal information.  Best of luck with getting it resolved.

This "Teacher" is teaching hatred! She is a bigot and a narrow minded FOOL!....I'm outraged! These are CHILDREN for Goddess sake!!! How the HELL can she think it would be o.k. to treat children this way??? It's akin to a concentration camp!!! She should have her teaching license revoked and have to apologize publicly to ALL these children and serve LOTS of community service !!!!!...P.S. This is just another reinforcement to me that my decision to home school is correct!

I agree with Bumper, I too teach students. And based on what you said, I don't think it's that the teacher hates you, it's more obvious that you are making it difficult for the teacher to teach. For instance, you called the teacher racist. Whenever a student says that, more than likely it's the student who's racist and not the teacher and it sounds like you have anger issues also. Thus, you have a negative outlook on this teacher, resulting in you thinking they feel the same way towards you. \n\n     If you want the teacher to like you and not feel hated, try helping the teacher out; like telling the students to shut up and paying attention and doing everything the teacher says. Your teacher will realize you want to make a difference and he will change his behavior towards you. Like the saying goes, "If you can't beat then, join them." Best of luck to you in school. Remember, it's not the end of the world if you have a teacher like this. All you want to focus on is getting a passing grade, going on to the next grade level, and making it easier on yourself and the others around you so it's not stressful. Again, best of luck.

I've dealt with a lot of mean teachers and I know they can't get fired for that. My Freshman science teacher was mean to only Freshman. Now, whenever she sees me, she's always extremely nice. Some teachers are just mean because they don't like their jobs. Nonetheless, if your teacher wasn't teaching properly or was beating the kids, that would be a good ticket out of there. But just "being mean" could be a  matter of perspective and I don't think there's anything you can do.

Bullsh*t man, that is such f*cking bullsh*t. It's not like he was causing a disturbance or being disrespectful, it's a dress for crying out loud. That principal should be fired, both for her continued harassment of this kid over the course of the school year and for blatant and illegal discrimination.\n\nI hope he sues the pants off that school district, becasue there have been numerous federal cases that all have said that clothing is a first amendment isssue, that what you wear is freedom of expression, and especially at a PROM which is a non-scholastic activity, there is no justification for banning boys in dresses or girls in suit. Maybe once that school faces a multi-million dollar lawsuit, they're get rid of that terrible principal and make sure that future educators respect student rights.

Yes, you are wrong.  She is teaching a class and perfectly within her rights to outline classroom conduct expectations.\n\nYou are argumentative with your back talk and your refusal to do things the way she expects, which is distracting to the other students.\n\nAnd now you want to get "cute" and dissect the class syllabus for "contract infringement."  Give me a break.\n\nNot only is she fully within her rights to penalize your grade but she can expel you from the entire class.  \n\n \n\nYou say you are "grown up" but you are not, you have a lot of growing up to do.  I suggest you take responsibility for your own actions and obey the rules of the class.\n\nPeace.

speak up and tell everyone you can tell...........teachers,parents,principal........everyone................i hate those teachers..........i would slap them and then yell right back at them to make it fair.....good luck with the teacher.

Absolutely not.  Most parents would consider that language rude if said in the family setting so all the more reason it is inappropraite in a school setting.  I would not be happy if my child where in that class.

Absolutely - go into that school and read them the riot act.\n\nYour son, in my opinion, was quite right in his comment - judging someone on any aspect of their appearance does equate to racism.\n\nThe school, and the teacher, have behaved badly. He's your child, your responsibility and you shouldn't stand for it.\n\nIn my experience, teachers are NOT always right, in spite of what they might think.

Perhaps if you showed your teacher some respect, she would treat you better.....respect is a two way street.

This entire situation is so middle school that it's best to just let this person show his/her own ignorance and the less said the better. In time, people will learn that this person has poor judgement, no manners, no character of his/her own and most of all, very poor taste. To say anything back does nothing but let people like that know thay have struck a nerve and that will not only open you up to more of their insults but will shine the same kind of light on you as well.\n\n... don't argue with drunks, children, or those who refuse to grow up!!

It looks like that those two girls have nothing better to do but take their problems out on somebody else and it looks like that you're their target, if it keeps bothering you, you should report the situation to a teacher or the principal and they may put a stop to it, school bullying should not be tolerated at all.

If your child is causing other children harm their is a proper way many teachers are thought to restarint a kid. Other wise I dont think you are suppposed to.

NEWS FLASH: Not every teacher is going to smother you with sweetness. During my long stay overseas, I had more than my share of meanness from teachers who resented having "this American" come up in their class and be all "foreign". My daring to even ask or ,God  forbid, answer questions was enough to provoke accusations of "being a showoff" and all sorts of petty meannesses. I survived, but with a lifelong contempt for the kind of folks who wallow in pettiness and envy. You'd think an adult would have the sense to treat a child better,but that's life. \n\nIn fairness to the teacher,it was not "harsh" of her to want to be able to place your abilities by expecting you to write a placement test. Instructing you to return to your seat is not an insult by any means - how about being the only pupil  in a class of 25 who was made to stand on a desk if you happened to get an answer wrong? how about having someone mimic your accent every time you spoke up in class,even when they were the one who called upon you to speak in the first instance?\n\nSome people have "issues". You might want to have the calmer one (!) of your parents speak with the Principal of the school about having you change Math instructors since the present one apparently is triggered by something about you. And whether or not you do succeed in changing instructors, by all means be scrupulously polite and respectful to this woman.  She may not deserve it in your opinion, but you will simply have to deal with this with some maturity. Her actions can only be highlighted by anyone with a speck of powers of observation when they contrast your ladylike behavior with her surliness.\n\nYou are supposed to ask questions,because that is what you do in a school. If "she doesn't have time" for your questions,the Principal should be - very politely - appraised of this  unacceptable situation.\n\nAbove all,don't be a wimp! Fainting because someone spoke to you in a tone you didn't like? Then I've got to say , it's great job you weren't in my shoes, you'd have ended up in a blooming coma. You can stand up for yourself politely. But if you worry that openly complaining will only provoke worse you may simply revel in the fact that you are superior to this sort of behavior, as long as you maintain a calm demeanor. She may be a rude jerk,but don't let her provoke you into copying her example.\n\nOne powerful tool at your disposal in such a tense environment is to be the most angelic person in town with all your other instructors.When she comes up with any negative tales in the teacher's lounge about you(and this person will have some very lively opinions to air about you there, trust me),it may very well be the only saving grace for you if other teachers simply don't have any reason to take her word for it in your case. And one other helpful thing that did the trick for me in junior high was to seek the counsel and arbitration of another teacher who was well disposed towards me. It gave me the responsibility of making sure that that I didn't let the intervening staff member down by letting the antagonist under my skin and finally lashing back at her, and it made the antagoniser aware that her peers were alert to her treatment of me. So getting an ally on staff may be just the thing for you.\n\nIn parting ,keep to the high road at all times and be the best at what you do. Always make sure that no one has cause to put you down.\nKEEP IT REAL, AND DON'T BE A SOFTIE :-) .\nTOUGHEN UP AND WELCOME TO THE REAL WORLD!!!

Lol, I think that's what teachers are suppose to do. My teachers do that all the time...\n\nwhy? Is this teacher hot as hell?

I absolutely hate it when my teachers are unprofessional. They sit around with their feet on the desk wearing flipflops and sweatpants and drinking a Coke. They just yell orders, make threats, etc, but nothing happens. Basically I hate it when the class is a joke.
