Tough Teachers

What Experts Say
Chances are, you can recall a particularly harsh teacher you once had in school -- one who was strict about behavior, took no excuses for missed homework assignments, gave detailed and difficult tests, and resisted the charms of even the most charismatic students.
Being in this teacher's class might have created a camaraderie among your classmates, and past students might have even rolled their eyes knowingly when you mentioned this teacher's name. While you may look back with a chuckle, there was probably nothing funny about it at the time. That said, if your child is currently having a rough time with a teacher, there are things you can do to help....

The worst thing you could do with a tough teacher is get on their bad side. So if you or your child is having a problem with the way the teacher handles the class, the best thing to do is talk about it with the teacher in an open, honest, and non-threatening manner. Also, don't let your kid fall into the name-calling trap. Chances are this teacher has a nickname the other kids call the teacher behind their back. Let your kid know that this teacher may be tough but he or she also has feelings and although the teacher probably knows what the other kids are saying, your child should not participate in that kind of behavior. It's unkind and a bad habit to take part in.
