Answer 1

OK, let's start you off right. What you want is someone to agree with you. The more people that agree means the more you are right even if they don't know you. It doesn't work that way.

I will concede that there are teachers out there that are disorganized and lose things, but what would be her purpose in telling you that you (only you?) didn't turn in your homework. It isn't as if there is a huge black market out there for students' papers. Why would she lie about your grades? To whom and to what end? Is she getting paid for this information by the National Enquirer?

As a teacher, I want to see the completed assignments. I want to fill the little squares in the grade book and I would prefer to see them filled with good grades. I want to congratulate students for work done well. I want to help the students with lower grades improve.

Also, I have had very similar situations in my room. I have had students tell me that I gave them permission to chew gum in my classroom (when I know that I would never allow it) and even had other students swear that I have said it. It just isn' t something I will allow under any circumstances.

Whether she is losing papers or you are just saying she is, you need to talk with her. Come to an agreement about whether you can turn in the papers to her personally or give them to a specific, trustworthy student who can turn your work in for you and can verify that the work was turned in (completed or not).

Once you have taken some responsibility for this problem, and if things do not improve, then you can come back for additional advice.

Answer 2

Keep a paper trail. Write down occurrences, complete with facts and leave out your opinion. Write down when you turned something in, when it was returned to you, and the grade marked on it. When you have a couple of incidents on paper, ask the teacher politely if you could talk to them. Present your side, remember to not accuse, but state that it is “how I feel” or “in my opinion”, such-and-such is happening. “If there is a problem, please talk to me privately instead of in front of the class.” As the teacher what he/she thinks. Then, say “this is what I am hearing…” I hope that helps. Don’t get mad, don’t accuse, act like an adult, and 95% of the time, you’ll be treated like one. The other 5% is for those rare shouldn’t-be-teachers teachers.

Answer 3

I doubt that any teacher would like about your grades and say that you don't turn in your homework when you do. She may seem mean because you are doing what you are supposed to.

by the way there are always three sides to every story: your side, the other side, and the truth.i

Answer 4

Try always to be kind, smiling, and pleasant to her, even if you think it is going to kill you (which I promise, it will not). You will find throughout your life that many people seem to be mean to you. Most of those people are really not trying to be mean (though a few actually are). But in the end you can't change them anyway, so you may as well be pleasant. It will make you happier, and if the other person really is being mean, maybe it will make them feel ashamed of themselves. May as well get used to it now.

Answer 5

your best weapon is a neat and thorough written record. For one week keep a detailed written record of each incident. Then approach your parents with this log and ask them for help. They can take the log to the teacher as ammunition, or further if neccesary.

Answer 6

ask her what you did to her for her to treat you in the way she does
but do it in a nice tone ,it will take her back in a way you can not under stand
