We have to teach to everyone. There are accommodations teachers can make in their teaching styles that teach to some specific learning needs, but are beneficial to all learners. There are always some exceptions, where I would meet one-on-one with some students afterwards, but we have rules about accommodating special learning needs and providing differentiated instruction to reach everyone.
So obviously in every class there are stronger and weaker students, even when everyone is motivated and studies. Which group of students do most teachers teach to, in your experience? (The weak ones, the average, or the strong ones?) And do you think it should be done differently?

How can I tell my teachers that I appreciate them, without sounding like a creep?
FOLLOW THEM EVERYWHERE.
No, please don’t do that.
You could tell them just that, or write a little thank you card. You won’t sound like a creep. We appreciate you telling us that you appreciate us 🙂

I’m ftm trans and I just came out in the middle of the school year. How do I go about asking my teachers to call me by my new name and pronouns if I don’t really know the teacher at all?
Just tell them privately that you prefer to be called by this other name. If they call you your original name, just politely correct them.

My teacher thinks my ADD is fake. Whenever I try to explain why I get distracted so easily and take longer to do work she just thinks I’m making up excuses to be lazy. What should I do?
Does your school use IEPs (or Individual Education Plans, or something to that effect)? These would involve your diagnosis and provide accommodations for you. If your school doesn’t have these, you could ask your doctor to write a letter with your diagnosis, or talk to a guidance counsellor or another teacher in the school you feel comfortable with about some other options to work with this particular teacher.

Do you know much about the Leaving Cert? It is the Irish equivalent to the upper years of high school (ages 16-19) I’m doing mine in under two weeks 🙃.I have to get enough points collectively between my exams to get in to university
No, I don’t know what this is. I hope it worked out for you!
