Bad teacher?

My a level biology teacher is one of the worst teachers i’ve ever had. In lessons, she just puts up notes on the OHP (which aren;t even hers – she uses another teachers) and we just copy it down, She gives little to no explanation of any of the stuff we’re meant to be learning, and i find myself having to learn everything myself, which takes up alot of time. Everyone in the class feels this way. Is there anything i/we can do? I asked the person in charge of timetables if it was possible to change classes but she said u cant choose ur teacher, etc etc (though i think she thought i just didnt like the teacher rather than she can’t teach). What can i do? Who should i talk to, and what can THEY do?

Any advice would be appreciated.

Go to your guidance counselor and principal. I’m a teacher, I wouldn’t like this if I was a student either.

You will have the teacher only for one year so deal with it. She gives you notes and that is good enough. I had a spanish teacher teacher who did not explaine OR write notes on the board. When you come home just read over the notes and try to remeber and study facts you think are important. You can always ask her a question the next day about the lesoon she tought. The more you hate the teacher the more you are going to hate the class. Try to like the class and like the teacher and you will see that in notime she will not seem as bad. I know stugying takes up time but, you have to do what you have to do and if you want to be smart take the time to do that doal.

You and other students need to approach your principal about this. You should type up a very well-worded list of complaints or issues that you have with this teacher and present it to the principal at this meeting. This will organize your thoughts and will make it seem less like you are just complaining because you don’t like her. Explain that you have nothing against the teacher herself – you just want her to improve in the classroom. Chances are the administration already knows she is having problems and you approaching them will help them know how to help. Most teachers want to do a good job – some are just lacking in teaching skills and need a little extra guidance. If this doesn’t help – then it will be time to get parents involved. Good luck!

Complain to the administration. If you really believe she’s a bad teacher; come up with a list of explainations, your personal feelings on her teaching stragedy, and a witness would not hurt.

I had a horrible teacher for physics in high school. So many of us complained about her that she got fired.

Councilors and the principal will listen to students who don’t think they’re getting a good education.

They will really listen to parents who complain too.

Go to other teachers, counselors/advisers and even the principal of your school. If an entire class isn’t learning then you should be able to get the teacher out of there. Have your parents complain as well.

Omg! The technology trainer you had sounds so creepy. Thankfully I’ve on no account had a trainer like that! Actually, all of the dangerous lecturers I’ve had had been feminine, none male. I believe the worst revel in I had with a trainer was once traditionally with my third grade trainer. For a few purpose, she perceived to hate the shy “quiet” children, and I was once a type of children. Weird, you’ll believe such a lot lecturers might be plenty extra troubled by means of the youngsters who’re continually speaking in the course of magnificence. But besides, simply on account that I was once form of shy and quiet she concept there was once whatever unsuitable with me and that I had “finding out disorders.” She simply made me think dull plenty of the time. I continually hated after we had writing assignments, on account that at any time when we had one I might believe for a couple of mins to plot what I was once going to write down. Again, such a lot lecturers might traditionally believe that is a well factor to do as a substitute than simply instantly begin writing a number of nonsense. But my trainer might continually yell around the room (in entrance of the category), “Hannah, quit having a pipe dream and do your paintings!” And this was once the worst factor she did, and even though fortunately I was once on no account a sufferer of this, it occurred one time in our magnificence to this one boy. Well, if she noticed someone tilting their chair again at the same time sitting down, she might sneak up at the back of them and yank the chair out from below them and lead them to fall! Someone might have critically gotten harm. She was once a meanie, all correct. lol There had been a couple of others as good. One of the alternative lecturers that labored at my basic college was once loopy. She might begin screaming on the most sensible of her lungs on the drop of a hat. She ultimately obtained fired one yr for cussing at a second grader. And additionally, my eighth grade technology trainer. Well, I did not dislike her individually on account that she was once a quite best character, however she quite did not instruct in any respect. Almost each person obtained a C or cut back in her magnificence on account that she on no account honestly taught us something- pretty much all we ever did was once do worksheets (with out her having defined something approximately the lesson previously) or pay attention to those quite bizarre songs approximately the subject we had been learning (lol). But fortunately, when you consider that I began top college I have not had any dangerous reports. All of my top college lecturers had been amazing and they have all appreciated me. 🙂

This might be a silly question but have you or anyone in your class asked her to explain anything?

If she’s been there awhile and part of a union…nothing.
