Answer 1

I would have sucked it up and sat down.

Answer 2

at school you should remember that what ever wrong you do to a teacher even if you think the teacher did something wrong, you should never retaliate. the best thing to do is talk to a person in charge such as head teacher.
i agree that the teacher has direspected you but what ever you say back, you are going to get in trouble. why were you told to shut up in the first place? so you should have remained calm and told her at the end of lesson how you felt and that 'be quiet' sounds better than 'shut up'. that way there is no trouble, and you will not be lookec at as a troulbe student. good luck at school.

Answer 3

Though I understand your frustration, I don't think it was ok to say shut up back to her. She is an elder to you, your teacher and you should have sat and waited for a better time to tell another adult within the school such as a principal or guidance counselor. I would have been upset with either of my children had they done this. I don't think that it is too late to let someone know how she was with the class or you this way when another complains they can investigate her methods within the classroom.

Answer 4

A teacher should not tell you to shut up, but don't forget that they are people too. Maybe he/she had a bad day, or maybe you were really being disruptive by talking. How many times does he/she have to ask you to stop talking? Are you a constant disruption or was this the first time? It's not fair to push a person's buttons and then act like the victim when they react.

Answer 5

It was REALLY disrespectful for the teacher to do that. I'm sorry that happened to you.

On the other hand, the reality is that school is a way to program you to "act right" in the bigger society, and talking back to adults won't get you where you want to be. You need to learn self-control, even when adults are wrong. That's part of what school is teaching you!

If you want to grow up to be a hermit, or an entrepreneur, with a job supporting yourself, talk the way you want. Otherwise, bite your lip & be polite to authority people, OK?

Answer 6

Neither of you should have done that. I know its hard not to react to a negative things. But you should have been quiet and then tell your parents what happened. Then a meeting between all of you should have straightened it out. Or after class you could have talked to the teacher about what happened and that it mad you feel horrible in front of the whole class. Tell her you will try to be quite and ask her not to say the things she said.

Answer 7

I was raised without shutup in my vocabulary, just not a nice word at all. And your teacher shouldn't have said that to you at all. I know it's going to suck hearing this, and I do feel for you, but kids just don't talk back to adults, adults should (unfortunately) be respected. If you were talking out of turn or up your behind you were out of line, you are there to learn, you have that chance take advantage of it. I was in 10th grade taking over 3 college courses. Infact I might be getting my associates with my highschool diploma, and no I'm not a geek and I have many friends. But honestly, you need to grow up, be a man.

Answer 8

Sounds like YOU were being disrespectful to the teacher by talking when you should not have been talking! (I"m sure she'd told you to stop talking several times before loosing it!)

In turn, she was disrespectful back... which was not good, but I bet you were acting our and she was frustrated.

You had already been disrespectful... so by responding to her you were in the wrong.

She should not have had to tell an 8th grader to shut up...
he should have known to do so on his own!! really!!

Answer 9

She disrespected you? I think is the other way around. You don't understand how lucky you are that in this country we are given free education. You go to a classroom and there are certain rules and expectations of you. To you she disrespected you because you wanted to keep on talking. However, you don't see that you are being disrespectful to both the teacher and to your peers that do want to learn and that do care what is going on in class. Your blabbering is affecting their learning. Its like when you go to a theater and people are talking loudly. Is call ethicket. You have sh owned that you lack ethicket and she was educating you.

Answer 10

I am a teacher myself - and No -you should not have told her to shut up -it was very disrespectful but she was also wrong and should not have told you that. The better choice would have been to tell another adult what happened -remember -two wrongs don't make a right!

Answer 11

Even not knowing what led up to her telling you to shut up, you should have shut up.

Whether you respect your teacher or not, you make it harder or impossible for them to do their job which is giving you the foundation for a decent future.

We all earn respect by being worthy of it, but sometimes it's just smart to be respectful of people who have authority over us. Wise up, learn the basics to get along with people and you'll ultimately be a happier person
