Answer 1

Avoid her, show her you are a responsible good student.

Answer 2

Just do your thing at the school and don't worry about the old teacher. She has a lot of students and isn't spending a whole lot of time thinking about you either. Teachers are adults. They know they occasionally have issues with a one student or another, and they accept and expect that in their profession. If you feel like it when you see the old teacher in the hall just say a polite "hi" and keep going. That would help you get away from any awkwardness you feel. From where you are (being a young person) you don't realize how big a deal it ISN'T for that old teacher.

Whatever teacher you get, though, just remember that some teachers inspire students to behave well and achieve academically while others aren't so good at it. No matter what grade you're in remember that your job is to just go do your best, behave, be respectful of other people in the school, try to put in a little extra effort and remember that no matter how nice it may be to be in a gifted class there are many, many students who are also in such classes across the country. Try not to pay attention to whether you get awards or not or whether someone tells you you're their best student. If it happens it nice, but if it doesn't it just may mean that someone is setting a higher standard or doesn't want to tell one kid he/she is the best student when there are other "best students" as well. It sounds to me like you "loved" the teacher who gave you the award, complimented you, and gave a party for you. Those are very nice, but you need to understand that not all teachers are as free with the "personal niceties", and it isn't because they're mean or rotten but because they believe you should work and behave because you are a good student and not because you'll be getting a "nicety". Enjoy fourth grade, and don't even think about whatever happened when you were onlyd - what - like eight? Adults are more understanding than you realize.

Answer 3

I'm very sorry to hear that an adult, would treat a child in such a manner, especially one that we as parents deem worthy of teaching our children. I certainly hope that she is aware of what she is doing to her students. As an adult I think that you should overlook her ignorence and be the better person and let it go. You just have to go on and be a happy intelligent student and hold your head high. Be proud of your accomplishments and do your best!! If you ever have to confront her on any terms, just be respectful of her as an adult and a teacher and it will show her that you have a better mind and spirit than she does. Maybe it will turn her around and she will see what a gifted student you really are. When you pass her in the hall, just don't make eye-contact unless you have too. Be pleaseant, and nod your head in acknowledgement, that's all you need to do.

Answer 4

You don't have to do anything at all. The other teacher sounds like a real witch and it seems like she knew you were smart and may have resented you for that. You don't owe her a thing. She is the adult and you are the child. She really should be apologizing to YOU for trying to put you down like that. Don't worry about it because you will have enough on your plate going into the 4th grade. She sounds evil, so don't acknowledge evil in anyway. Ignore her, unless she apologizes to you. By the way, your writing skills are very impressive. Keep up the good work.
My son is going in 4th too this year. Good luck!

Answer 5

Well when I was in the fourth grade gifted I had a really mean teacher. I ignored her. Well not totally she was my teacher so i couldent. I f she does not give you an award thats mean so tell your parents or some teacher you like maybe thay can talk to the mean teacher and it will stop if it doesnt talk to her yourself. It worked for me. Good luck :<)

Answer 6

Don't worry about her. Always do your best be a good student and you will not need an award to tell you how good you are. You will not get along with all the people who come into your life this is a good time to practice getting along with others

Answer 7

I'm a teacher and my advice to you is to go up to that teacher, shake her hand and thank her for teaching you a very inportant lesson. Tell her that because she told you she would neer give you an award it made you work even harder and appreciate the awards that the other teachers gave you! She will undertand and you will be doing it in a very adult way.

Answer 8

Ignore her, stay away from her.

Unfortunately, teacher are human too. Sometimes people just clash. No rhyme or reason to it. Although... being a teacher she should do everything in her power to overlook these feelings, and be mature enough not to make one childs life miserable because she feels this way.
Do your very best with the teachers you like and enjoy.

Answer 9

Good for you! You gifted fourth grader. Dwell on the good teacher and not the bad. Maybe she's just mad cause your smarter than her. Think that when you have to walk past her and smile because you know you are younger and the better person.

Answer 10

Kill her with kindness. Say a cheerful Hello everytime you see her. Eventually she'll back down because you are better than her. People are often confused when they try to evoke one emotion - like anger- and get kindness in return. I had a student who was in my face all the time. It is the wrong approach. Be GIFTED!!!!!

Answer 11

Be polite if you see her and don't dwell on what happened. Try to remember that throughout your life, you are going to run into people that you don't click with; it just happens so you have to deal as best you can. Always be polite and respectful to people even if you don't like them, and people will think that you are a class act. Focus on the positive aspects and have a great year!
