Answer 1

It seems no one has really addressed the problem: that you laugh when it is really not a good idea to laugh. My son did that, and it was really weird. I guess it was nervousness. Try taking in a breath and then letting it out really slowly. Also, if you talk to your teachers sometime when no one is screaming, and tell them that you are working on controlling your nervous reaction, it might cut down on the vicious cycle. I'm glad you feel sorry for them. It shows you are able to put yourself in someone else's place. Teachers are human beings, and have chosen one of the hardest jobs in the world to do. They lose it now and then. Try not to be the cause, let them know your laughter is a nervous reaction, and you might find you can get through a school day without getting into loads of trouble.

Answer 2

As a teacher, I can assure you that screaming in someone's face is not a good way of getting through to a child. Even a child as disrespectful as you appear to be! We go into the profession to help kids get a good start in life, it is one of the caring professions with a low wage and little thanks. We do not leave our work behind us when we walk out of the door, we take it home with us to continue, thereby ensuring that you work is marked and up-to-date so that you are (supposedly) ready for your exams, when you can get good grades and progress in life, providing you have of course done the studying required. The problem is that these days most kids expect life handed to them on a plate and have no concept of the requirements of working for something - this translates into school. When in the classroom, yes we get frustrated because the students care little for their own education and welfare and even less about that of others. There is no respect within a classroom, because it is not something that is expected in society anymore, and therefore not passed onto the young of so many! It is a shame. The world would be in a better place right now if there were more discipline and respect within our schools - if it starts there it carries into life in the outside world later. Maybe it's you who should change your attitude and not the teachers!

Answer 3

Judging by some of these answers, and by your question, I'm glad I decided not to go into teaching. the reason i wanted to go into it was that I wanted to pass on some of my knowledge to a new generation, help them become fully functioning human beings, to possibley help inspire one or two to achieve their full potential. I have quite a few friends who have entered teaching for the same reasons. however, i soon learnt, from a couple of placements, that most of the kids in school don't realise that you actually care about them, want them to do good. they are so full of their own rights and self justification they cannot realise what little pricks they are being almost all the time. Thats why teachers get annoyed - they want to help, but you lot are self centred, self justified, arrogant ignorant little pricks. I just love it when these kids come to University, are still full of their own pomposity and belief that they are always in the right, and I shatter it by having the power to discipline them. I swear, most of the ones who are real trouble have never had any form of discipline before in their lives, and they react very badly to it. Now, i'm not talking about physical discipline - that would be wrong. But I'm allowed to fine the students (£50 or £100), get them moved in halls away from thir friends, call ambulances if they are too drunk, and even call the police to get them arrested (was sweet when that happened the other week - brought him down by a few pegs). They soon learn what is acceptable and what is not - its just a pity the teachers in schools don't have the power to teach this important lesson.

So, i'd say, reflect on yourself, your own self worth, and how you look to others. Understand that the teachers are trying to help, and feel frustrated that you are so arrogant you don't want their help. Understand they are human, and deserve to be treated with some respect, instead of the complete fascisitic lack of respect you show. maybe then you will start to be a human being.

If you think teachers are bad, wait until you're an adult.

Wait until you come across bosses that can't keep their hands off you, when all you want to do is work: and when you reject their advances, they fire you, calling you all sorts.

Wait until you come across the bureaucracies of the world, where they throw all manner of obstacles at you, making your very life a misery: and when you scream in their faces, they close down and stop talking to you altogether.

Wait until you come across officious traffic wardens, snobby waiters in restaurants, arrogant mothers in 4X4s taking their kids on the school run, who believe that you should make way for them, no matter if you've got right of way or not.

Wait until you find yourself on holiday in places where, if the cops don't like your face, they can simply bust you and lock you away, or even just shoot you. But first ... they'll hurt you.

And once you're grown up, unlike school there'll be no safety net.

When you're grown up, you'll wonder what hit you. And then you'll probably remember your teachers and wish you'd done more for them while they /were/ your teachers.

Answer 5

Do you know I feel really sorry for you. You haven't got a clue do you. These people do there job because they want to help you get the best start in life. But hey why should they care, you obviously want to be a NED.
Well when you leave school, get a great job, marry, have kids, give them the best start in life. oh I'll stop there cause that ain't gonna happen is it. What kind of employer is going to give a NED a decent job. Wise up. Life in the big World is NO LAUGHING MATTER.

Answer 6

wow....what a crap in the pants... You should feel sorry for them, and yet you do nothing to make the situation better,.you know they get up everyday to face you stupid kids...knowing they are going hate it as soon as they walk into that room, Thinking about (you) unruly kids on their way to work.
Teacher only make about $30,000 a year $40.000 tops ...most people in college would pass that up for a $100,000 a year job. But no, these people are special, they want to teach you. Teach you to be someone, get you ready for the world. Can they do that ....sure they can....between the class acts and the fools that show up to school like social clowns. You guys should be ashamed of yourselves....and you more so. How would you like it if you were trying to talk or say something...and someone kept laughing in your face....

Answer 7

Teachers are only human. They get into this job ecause they like children and want to do things to help them.
Instead, what do they get???? Gratitiude? Affection? I think not.
I know a few teachers and they're drained.
All they want to do is their job! Believe it or not. They want you to do well at school, get good grades, get a life when you leave school.
Think about that before you wind them up.
And as for the kid who said she'd slap the teacher who shouted in her face, well, that just shows you how much teachers have to control their own emotions. I've seen such behaviour that I would slap a few faces, too.

Answer 8

They get paid to do their job,they don't do it for fun they have a professional responsibility to be there.When no mark losers make their job difficult or impossible they don't have the opportunity to walk away.Children make the mistake of personalising the relationship because they are emotionally immature.They attack the person with lack of respect and insults,if you do this, the teacher will also respond personally by shouting etc.If you want to be treated a an adult act like one.

Answer 9

The most peculiar thing about this is that your teacher is there to help you understand the subject being taught. Most of the time you don't want to be there, but you have to, because it is the system. When you get older you will be able to choose which lessons to attend, but at the lower level you have to, at least, learn the basics and you don't usually have another chance.

Answer 10

So, do you work? Stop and think. If someone came into your place of work and hasseled you, and in the process screwed up everyone else's right to work, what would you do? Laughter can lighten a tense situation, but mockery is an insult. If you need to feel sorry for someone, feel sorry for yourself. You're the one that's missing out.
