Talk to your school counselor. Arrange with a meeting with your teacher. Tell her how you feel.
Or see about changing classes?
Hope all works out.

Something to watch for - don't be overly confident or cocky in the classroom...i have a student who is just that, and i get frustrated because he is VERY intellegent, but he does things like challenges everyone's opinions, will try to dispute information that is historically accurate, or just talks to hear his own voice. Think about how you may go about your way in the classroom. If you notice something you do drives the teacher nuts, then make an effort to fix it. Sometimes a teacaher's greatest challenge isn't helping the kids with the lower grade, but challenging the kids who are excelling.

I don't think you get treated poorly because you are smarter than other people... I think that you should go talk to your teacher about it after class when the other students aren't there... Voice your concern. If that doesn't work go to the principal and discuss it with someone who has more power than her.... or transfer to a different English class... speak with a school counsellor about it.

Yeah it's awful there are a lot of teachers who play favorites and it sucks because ur basically a kid and you get no respect so you can't really transfer out. I guess if it gets really bad for you tell your parents and maybe you can have a conference with her and maybe you could eventually transfer out of the class or at the very least get her to not pick on you.

I have never known a teacher to just pick on someone because they didn't like them. However, I am not going to say that it's not happening to you.
My suggestion is to speak with the teacher about how you feel and if that does not work, request to have your scheduled changed to another English teacher--especially if this teacher's behavior is affecting your education which is what is important here.

Obviously your not if you are getting yelled at. I think you need to knock of the attitude and understand there is only one reason you are in the classroom - and that's to learn - you act like that - and your teacher will not be yelling at you.
Good Luck!!!

Been there. All you can do is put up with it, really. Do your homework, keep up with your assignments, study and don´t give her a chance to see anything wrong. Take it as a challenge in which you will not allow her to ruin it for you. The semester will be over before you know it. Good luck!

Talk to your parents, talk to your counselor(if there's any), or simply...you keep going to that class on time, never miss it, study super hard and be the No.1 student that she could ever ask for.
"Love your enemies. They'll go crazy trying to figure out what you're up to."
Good luck!!

Talk to your counselor and if they wont do anything about it, and they most likely will, then put up with it, keep your mouth shut, do your work, and get through the year. Whatever you do, don't stop going to class.

haha...similar scenario, well, what i suggest is that, you 'pick' on her back, you ask her more questions that she asks you, do anything that make her 'pay' attention to you more than other, i know someone who even wait at the teacher's car just to ask questions...ask something that related to the class though...till the day comes when she wont bother you no more...believe me...it has been proven before....heheheh
