I'm in the first year of High school and I really don't like P.E. but I like the P.E. teacher we have. But now we have to have another P.E. teacher who is pure evil! She is perfect in every single way and knows it. She calls us 'Little baby first years' which I know is meant to be nice but I hate it- I am NOT a baby and I'm bigger in certain womanly areas than most teenagers! Ok, so we're doing athletics and we have future PE teachers (F.P.T.) who take us along with the evil one. She divided us up into 3 groups, red for slow, orange for average and green for fast, then told the F.P.T. to comment on how we ran. I thought it would be for only one lesson but now we have them all the time and it's awful 'cos you have to run/jump/throw in front of the whole class and then be laughed at for how rubbish you are. I'm in red and it's like wearing a big label saying 'I'm rubbish at sports and really slow.' Also the evil one and F.P.T. talks to the reds as if we're stupid as well as slow!

If your teacher is offending you by how they speak to you then i suggest you ban together and go talk to the teacher and ask not to be talked to like this and if that does not work go to the board of education and tell them. a teacher is not suppose to belittle you no matter what class you are in.

Don't worry about it to much. When other people say things like "little baby first years" they may not realize how it may effect others. The only thing you can do is let it go. As long as you are doing the best you can thats all that really matters. Right now you are letting this control how you feel while the P.E. teacher is proably enjoying her/his day. Just let it go and don't sweat the small stuff. I'm sure you are great @ other things. Not everyone is great at everything. In the GRAND scheme of things how important is it really? Do what you do best and be yourself eventually other will see that and like you for you. Relax. :-)

Well, I hate to say it, but you are wrong about one thing, the Evil One is not perfect in every way - she has no people skills. I think she is teaching you a valuable lesson and I think you should let all the reds know it - never treat people this way, because the greatest rule Educational Psychologists have tried to teach teachers is that you need to treat people the way you want them to become. If you want them to become slow and stupid, treat them as slow and stupid. If you want people to be arrogant, treat them as if they are better than everyone else. But is you want people to become better, teach them that they have talents that they can use to improve other parts of their life. Goethe, a German poet, said something like: Treat a man as he is and he will remain as he is. Treat a man as he could become, and he will become that man, and more.
Your life is hard now, but you can still withstand this maltreatment with dignity and an assurance of your own self-worth. Don't let someone else define who you are, be yourself. No one thought the Spanish Inquisition would end, but it did.

No it's not cruel. As much as you want it to be, it isn't. It's called life. Someday you will notice that there are people in the real world who have more than you, and you will have more than others. In a perfect world we never look askance at anyone but that is just not human nature. Want to move up the ladder? Work harder at being better at everything you do. Don't let the snickers of other dissuade you from improving your lot in life.

Yes ,it is mean.You are not in school to be humiliated.They will probably try to justify there actions by saying"So they try harder"Or something like that. Alone you will not get far protesting this.But if 5 or more students walk to the principals office and ask for a meeting.Then maybe things will change.

She seems way crueler than my PE teacher. They shouldn't have adults degrade you anyway, so yep, totally mean here.
