I currently have an English teacher who just seems to have it out for me. He has told my parents that I lack motivation even though I have a B in that class, he has given me bad grades on certain projects simply because he doesn't like me, and then has told my parents that he told us that we had to have a specific form with the project that we infact did not unless we spent more then $25. So my quesstion is how do I get back at this teacher who has walked all over me.

I have spoken to him and he refuses to listen to me. Many other people have problems with him. My mother has tried talking to him but her hands are tied because its my word against his. And I am putting forth a great deal of effort in his class for those of you telling me to get an A. I'm struggling with a B because this man treats us like we are college students.

My suggestion is to talk to your parents about it, and ask them if they'd be willing to meet with the teacher. Then ask the teacher if you can meet after school one day (or whenever works for you and your parents).

I was in a similar situation, and I asked my parents to come in after school the next day. I told my teacher right away in the morning that they would be coming in, and by the end of the day the teacher had apologized to me and corrected what she had done to my grade. Of course, that won't work every time, but it's worth a try...

If the teacher uses an overhead projector, put a notebook in the projector so it blocks the light. Just make sure the notebook doesn't have your name in it. Another thing, hide a bunch of stopwatches or timers around the room and set them to go off at five minute intervals. No one will know where the sound is coming from and it will interrupt the class brilliantly. Just don't expect to get the stopwatches back real soon.

okay so I may not agree with what your doing, but first you definetly should confront that teacher.. But you could always go the prank route. And I don't believe teachers have it "out for kids" but it IS possible. So first prove that teacher wrong, take notes in his class so you can have something that says "Hey i listend I'm right your wrong" It drives us teacher nuts. Then I would say don't pull pranks if you got caught that teacher is the one who looks responsible when you get in trouble than your parents have a less of a reason to believe you. But if you still arn't satisfied, You could do whoppee cusion, water of the door, fake vomit.. Simple stuff. Or Ask a lot of dumb questions and if he gets mad say "But you see I just want to make sure i have the facts right in your class, so I don't tell my parents the incorrect information"

This should drive him nuts good luck!

Don't do anything to get in trouble over this. Don't feel lonesome you aren't the only one who had teacher like that. Just talk to him and ask him why is he giving you a hard time. If, that doesn't work go higher up the ladder. I sure there other kids in your school might have the same problem with this teacher. Good Luck!!

Learn to accept your teacher's criticism and move on. All your life you will be dealing with people who are in positions of authority over you....some who will like you and some who won't.... and if you try to "get back" at everyone who does things you don't like, you will (at best) get a reputation as a whiner and (at worst) end up in prison. Life isn't always fair, but if you try to do your best and do the right thing, most of the time it will will pan out in your favor in the end. As long as you're still getting a decent grade, why waste your energy giving a crap whether your teacher is your biggest fan or not? You need to get over it.

BTW...if you end up doing something to "get back" at the teacher and get suspended or something, you're the one that ends up looking like a loser....not the teacher.

if he is indeed out to get you, report him to the Board of Education ( in Australia) or your country's equivalent, if you have classmates who feel the same way get them to report him too, and an investigation will be undertaken.

getting back at him with crude pranks will achieve nothing, if he's doing what you say he's doing then put his job on the line for it, he may think twice to treat students poorly after that.

the majority of teachers in the world, although you may hate them whilst you're at school, are good people, but there are those few who think they're god or some bollocks, i had an English teacher who done the same thing to me, i came 5th in my entire graduating class and he said i was a lazy good for nothing loser (with a few more swears thrown in), I took up my complaint with the Board of Education and he got in a helluva lot of trouble.

stink bombs and the like are ridiculous ideas and will just get you suspended, use tact and do nothing to incriminate yourself, you don't want to get a black spot on your permanent record because of something he started

That feels like a terrible situation. in case your question is extremely "why", although, you in all probability already be attentive to the respond. this is too late to restoration what they did and that they are petrified of having fired or sued. people frequently have an inclination in the direction of CYA. instructors not extra or below everyone else. i will comprehend your severe frustration. many times i detect issues get achieved extra advantageous whilst people are not being shielding, so i attempt to concentration on a thank you to avert an analogous situation interior the destiny somewhat than getting somebody to admit they made a mistake interior the previous. If my son have been hospitalized i might take a seat with the administration and ask them how they have been going to avert yet another hospitalization. i might insist that he the two be allowed to hold his very own inhaler or Epipen (or regardless of it replaced into he mandatory) or that the college supply me in writing with the plan they might stick to to verify he continuously have been given drugs whilst mandatory. If I wasn't chuffed, i might get my pediatrician in touch, and if that did not help, i might flow to the college superintendant or college board. this could nicely be a protection situation and probably a controversy that should influence various little ones. yet somewhat of attempting to get the folk in touch in situation, concentration on what's going to take place to guard little ones next time around. desire your son is okay.

Sounds to me like you cant handle the fact that your teacher doesn't think much of your abilities. You are looking for a way to damage his entire livelihood just because you are a bit stroppy and spoiled.

This teacher doesn't 'hate' you. He probably doesn't care about you that much. Why dont you try focusing your adolescent rage elsewhere, like getting an A?

I really suggest you read the book, "Killing Mr. Griffin" by Lois Duncan. It'll give you a whole new perspective.
