How to make a teacher like you again?

Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>I messed up. I re*all*y messed up. Yesterday, I didn't have a project completed on time; no big deal, considering I've done it at least once a year and I was the only one in the class without a partner to lean on. Last night, I attempted to finish, but laziness got the best of me, and at midnight, I simply passed out.</p>

<p>It's not even the grade that bothers me. My teacher only takes off ten points for every day an assignment is late, and the grades currently in the book will cushion my inevitable seventy-something. What's getting to me is the thought that this teacher, who has been a favorite of mine for the past three years, will hate me. </p>

<p>I know it's melodramatic, but I take my professional relationships with my teachers very seriously. What can I possibly do to win back his trust?</p>

<p>I doubt he will hate you for being a couple days late. Everyone has struggles that sometimes get in the way of schoolwork, and I’m sure that he, as a teacher, understands that. If you really feel some dissonance still, you could try appologizing to him.</p>

<p>Teachers are humans, they understand that sometimes people aren’t perfect. Believe it or not, teachers weren’t perfect students (for the most part) themselves.</p>

<p>Well, just try not to turn in many late assignments, cuz I think that shows that you work hard or something idk? I’ve heard something like that somewhere.</p>

<p>This is one of the saddest things I’ve read.</p>

<p>Hush, you. I’m only a tad obsessive. :)</p>

<p>Think about this from his perspective…he didn’t care and he won’t remember it.</p>
