I have this teacher that I thought was a major b*tch. That's only because I knew her outside of the classroom and she would say something smart eleck or always give me this evil look when she didn't even know me. But now that I have her as a teacher, she seems like a nice person..probably because she's being nice to the preppy people since the majority of our class is made up of preps.

Once you get into the professional arena, you may find that the expected code of conduct inside the workplace is different from your own personal code and the way that you behave in your private life.
Teachers are human too. Maybe she feels more confident about herself when she is in the classroom, and her "smart aleck" ways outside of it are how she compensates for feeling less secure or confident. Maybe being "snappish" outside of the classroom is her way of compensating for having to be nice in the classroom, even when the students are not so nice to her. Maybe she's really just a rude person who enjoys trying to intimidate others by being snarky. Maybe she's still immature and hasn't figured out that being two-faced will come back to bite you in the hind parts. There could be a hundred reasons why she acted that way. The most important thing is that as your teacher, she is only a temporary part of your life. After that, you have the choice of interacting or not interacting with her.

Remember that people act differently in different scenarios. As a fellow teacher, there are a billion regulations on what's legally appropriate in the classroom but very little in your personal life. Though you may be nice are work, everyone lets their "face" down in private areas. It's a way to mentally recoup for the next work performance.

Answer these questions:
1. Are you normal?
2. Do you act differently around your friends as you do around your parents?
3. Are there things you say around your friends that you know are not acceptable, but do anyway?
4. If you were at a social event, would you do your best to act accordingly, or would you try to set a trend in non-acceptable behaviours?
If you answered "yes" to all four questions, then you know why the teacher is different in certain arenas. Quit criticizing, get on with life and accept it as that.

Yeah, I got "busted" by a 5th grade teacher when I was in 4th grade. I guess the substitute couldn't handle us so this teacher comes down the hall and grabs the first kids she sees talking and hauls us up to her class to sit in the back of the room...of course who do I get for 5th the next year- and she ended up being so nice!
Now I am a teacher and sure I act different with other teachers than I do with my own friends..part of being human I guess, we can change hats and present different sides.
Hey, have a good year no matter what teacher you get!!

What are you talking about? You may learn later in life that acting the way you do around your friends (drinking, flirting, throwing rocks, and generally retarded), is not the way you can act at a professional job. Teachers are also people and they act retarded in front of their friends, but when at work, they need to act accordingly, or get fired. Everyone puts on a little show to get paid, but maybe you'll find a job where you can be yourself all the time... like at a video store.

agreed...I am a teacher, but I can honestly say that I don't allow my personality to be squashed because I am a professional. Even when I worked in industry I was upbeat. However, I see many of my coworkers put on a different "front" when at work. Probably to be professional...personally...I am who I am. I can put on the power suit and keep my mouth in check when I need to...but what you see is what you get. It is a shame that most people aren't like that.

This sounds a bit strange yes but don't worry about it too much. If he starts to touch you or talks to you slightly sexual manner then talk to someone about it who you can trust like your parents. But apart from that I don't think he will make a move on you since he probably knows it's wrong and seems a bit nervous to do such a thing.

She might be more strict outside the classroom because it helps her with discipline. In her own class, she gets to set the tone and if kids like her as a teacher, she can be more relaxed with them.
