It can be hard to get along with your teacher in class.You may need a little more time to understand the teaching style of your new instructor.It's usually enough to improve your relationship if you treat the teacher with respect and effort.You can build a friendly relationship with almost any teacher.
Step 1: Talk to your teacher.
A short discussion can clear up a conflict.You might have misinterpreted your teacher's behavior, or you might be unaware of something that is annoying to the teacher.If there is a time that you could talk in private, ask your teacher.Show respect and always be polite.Conflicts are less likely to be resolved if you go into a meeting angry or upset.You can be clear if you bring specific talking points with you.You called on me 3 times on Friday because I didn't understand the subject.That was embarrassing to me, and I still don't feel I understand the topic, so ask a friend or family member to practice the discussion.
Step 2: Ask your teacher how you can do well.
Years of education and experience in the subjects they teach are what teachers have.Since learning more about this topic is the purpose of your relationship, reaching out to discuss the best ways to succeed in the classroom shows your teacher you care, and will likely give you the opportunity to see the instructor at their best.
Step 3: Understand their method of teaching.
The way your teacher runs the classroom is the reason you don't like them.Learning to thrive in a strict environment is difficult if you are used to a very relaxed class.Giving yourself time to learn the new style of teaching is adequate in most cases.If you are still struggling in the class, approach your teacher and ask for help.
Step 4: There is a teacher pro/con journal.
It's possible to change negative thought patterns by exploring the positive side of the situation.A great way to do this is to keep a journal where you write about the negatives and positives that happened in class.This changes the way you think about the student-teacher relationship to consider both positives and negatives equally.
Step 5: Ask about your teacher's hobbies.
You will see your teacher from a different perspective even though you have something in common.You and your teacher have lives outside the classroom, but you are there to learn.Don't ask about your hobbies during class time, and be courteous to your teacher and other students.If you know about one of their hobbies, you can say, "I heard you enjoy gardening."If you think your teacher is interested in one of your hobbies, you could try something like, "I've been looking for a new book to read."Have you read anything good recently?
Step 6: Contribute to extracurricular activities with your teacher.
If they feel you have something in common, teachers are more likely to give you personal attention and assume you are smart.It makes interacting with your teacher easier if you participate in a club or other activity with them.Ask your friends if the instructor sponsors extracurricular activities.Talk to other instructors about extracurricular activities.You can find lists of extracurricular activities and their sponsors on your school's website.
Step 7: You can learn why your teacher chose to teach.
Your teacher has a lot of time to learn about the subject they teach and how to best teach it.Understanding why your teacher decided to devote their time to teaching will make them feel more human in the classroom.Don't approach the teacher during class.Say something like, "I've always wondered why people become teachers."It seems like a difficult job.Why did you decide to teach?
Step 8: Talk to your parents.
If you decide to drop the class or go to the principal, take a deep breath and ask your parents or guardian for advice.They know how to work with people they don't like, and they can help you do the same.It is clear that you want to be proactive in fixing the concerns if you include your parent in the meeting.Be honest with your parents.Don't let the urge to exaggerate get you.When the teacher tells their side of the story, this will backfire.You can write down specific examples of things that upset you.Ask your parent to evaluate the situation and give you advice on how to handle it differently.
Step 9: You can talk to a guidance counselor.
You should make an appointment with your school's guidance counselor if your parent is not helpful or if you don't feel the situation is being addressed.They are there to guide students by offering advice and counsel.Your guidance counselor will be happy to help.
Step 10: You can talk to the school board.
If you still have trouble in the classroom after talking to the teacher, your parents, and a guidance counselor, it may be time to go to your teacher's superiors.This should be avoided whenever possible, but there are some situations where it is inevitable.You need to seek help from higher authorities if unethical behavior occurs.The cases of verbal and physical abuse should be reported immediately.If you are not included in classroom activities that affect your grades, you will need help from your principal.If your grades are not improving despite your best efforts, ask for assistance from your teacher's superiors.
Step 11: If you want to be moved to a different section, ask.
The last course of action should be this one.If the classroom environment doesn't improve after trying to get to know your teacher, focusing on learning, and asking for help from others, it may be time to switch to a different teacher.
