My calc teacher hates me!

Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>Well, she doesn't hate me, but it's gotten pretty obvious that she doesn't like me. I've said for weeks that she doesn't like me, and my friends are just starting to notice she treats me differently than my friends. She's more rude to me, and she gets very easily frustrated whenever I ask questions, and a lot of times she doesn't even answer them completely. I've tried talking to my parents about it, and they don't believe me.</p>

<p>I've really lost motivation for a class since I know I won't be given the help I need. I don't understand what's going on and I can't get help from anyone. On more than one occasion I've asked her to come in after school for help and she says yes, but isn't in her room when I get there. I have a C+ right now, and I've gotten straight A's in math class since I was in elementary school. I've considered dropping the class because the combination of not understanding and not receiving help. What should I do? Should I try to drop the class at the end of this semester? I REALLY don't want to, but I think that's my only option if I don't want a really bad grade on my transcript at the end of next semester.</p>

<p>Maybe you need to, face to face, talk to her and see what her problem is with you and hopefully resolve the issue. Otherwise I recommend that you try and contact previous math teachers to try and help you or use khanacademy or some online resource to help you out.</p>

<p>@QuadMaster How should I go about talking to her? Just ask what issues she has with me? I’m a pretty shy person when it comes to things like this. </p>

<p>As far as timing, I’d do it when there aren’t going to be a lot of people going in or out of her classroom.</p>

<p>I would probably word it as so:</p>

<p>I’d clean the above post up a bit, try rehearsing it with friends, and maybe get some input from other posters before confronting your teacher.</p>

<p>@QuadMaster Thank you! I’ll keep this in mind.</p>
