I’ve recently been accused by another teacher of sleeping with my English teacher and said teacher went to the principal to tell them about their completely false theory and now I’m being pulled out of my English class and I just feel awkward and don’t know what to do because I’m not sleeping with him nor have any other personal relationship we have spent some time after class discussing books he gave me to read but that’s all. Do you have any advice? Thanks in advance!

I am sure the teacher is going through similar feelings with this accusation, but all you can do is maintain your innocence.  After that, you just have to let it go and move on.  If you need to involve parents/guardians then do so.

Good luck.

Why do teachers call on students to answer things in class when they know that student has issues speaking aloud.

I am a tenth grade student. I get worried that teachers have a stereotype built in their head of me because I have colored hair, and not like black or red, but blue. I’m a straight “A” student, and I don’t talk back or complain about work. I just get concerned because I don’t want teachers thinking I’m a bad student just because of my appearance.

If you feel that this is happening then try to have a discussion with your teachers about how you feel you are being treated.  If it is just a worry you have, rather than actual observations, forget about it and let it go.  Your work ethic and abilities will shine through.

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.
