Is your teacher’s anger aimed at you personally, or at something you’ve been doing?

All teachers have certain pet peeves(特别讨厌的事物). Maybe your teacher hates it when people whisper in class, or maybe it’s late homework assignments that really get your teacher angry. If you try hard not to do these things, the situation might get better.

Are you working up to your ability?

Maybe you got a C on your last test, and your teacher told you that you could do better. But the kid sitting beside you got a C too, and the teacher didn’t say anything to her! Isn’t this totally unfair? Well, it could be that your teacher knows that you could get a better grade if you put more effort into it. Teachers often grade students by different standards; especially if they feel that someone isn’t doing the work they are capable of doing. It’s their way of motivating a student to try a little harder.

Are you more sensitive(敏感的) than most students?

One mother became upset when her nine-year-old son told her that his teacher hated him. But eventually she found out that her son was just extra sensitive to criticism, and got upset when the teacher corrected his work. The other students weren’t as sensitive as him, so they weren’t bothered even though the teacher treated them exactly the same way. There’s nothing wrong with being sensitive, but if you react to criticism differently than most kids, this could be a factor in why you think your teacher doesn’t like you.

Thinking：

   Are you a sensitive student? How do you face your teacher’s criticism?
