Teachers and Attitudes

So I understand that a teachers job is to help you suceed in school so you will have an awesome career once graduation comes around. But there comes a point when a teacher needs to learn to draw the line between being concerned and being down right nosey and rude. College being different than high school, there is no truancy officer to make you come to school. It is a personal decision and also now that we're all adults, school isn't the only thing in our life now. Having to juggle a job, health problems, and transportation issues adds alot of stress to prioritizing my days. Day to day prorities change. I had a teacher tell me that there is absolutley no excuse to miss class.....um well news flash lady......when i have a seizure i kinda cant get up and come to school. Also its kinda hard to get here when you dont have a car and you live like 30 minutes away. I feel its okay for a teacher to tell a student that they are concerned and what the student could do to improve their grade but, its not okay to sit there in front of the class and make a student feel 2 inches tall. Some teachers just need to realize that everybodys life isn't as smooth as theirs probley is and that life happens and sometimes its none of the teachers business about whats going on. Thats what i think about teachers with attitudes.

  1. Cody - You are right. There is never a good excuse to talk to a student like this in front of the whole class. I am sorry you have had a bad experience. ~Ms. A
