Thank you for the positive comment.
If you want to do something about your teacher’s remarks, you could explain how you feel about it, and try to have a one-on-one conversation about it.
Keep working hard! It will still pay off 🙂

I wish more teachers were like you. My teachers call me a lazy student for having anxiety, even though I keep up with the classwork and homework

What would you think and how would you feel if you found out that one of your past students was unsuccessful/didn’t have a job or go to college when everyone (teachers and students alike) had thought they were going to be successful?
This definitely happens, but it doesn’t mean it is the end of their life. Every individual needs to follow their own path and what works for them. Just because they don’t attend a postsecondary institution following high school does not mean that they never will continue their education. When there is potential there, it could be disappointing, but it is not my job or right to plan a pathway for a student.

Is it weird for students to want to be friends with their teachers? Not like outside of school, but if you have a teacher that you connect with and can talk to like a friend it shouldn’t be that bad. I guess administrators could say otherwise though.
I don’t think it’s weird at all, as long as that teacher-student divide is still there. I enjoy having personal conversations with students. It creates more of a bond that can help the students feel more confident in their abilities in the classroom.

How do you deal with students that refuse to stop misbehaving? Like no matter how much you tell them to stop doing something they always go back to doing it when you aren’t looking their way.
Contact home immediately, and continue to contact parents/guardians when this type of behaviour occurs. In some cases, there will not be any support from home, but it shows the student that home and school are connected, and that the behaviour will not be tolerated. Get the admin team on your side by talking to them about your concerns. Be firm with your rules and provide consequences.
There is no magic answer, as some students will just continue to behave poorly, but these are some strategies you could use. Good luck!

Hey so this is the student who was having trouble with the ap lang teacher and I took your advice and asked if he could assign me some extra assignments during our next brake and he said he’d make some up for me! So your advice help me, thank you!
That’s great news! Happy to hear! Thanks for sharing 🙂
