Does that mean that when you go to college, if you have a prof that is younger than you, you will not do her assignments?

When you are in the real world and you have a boss that is younger than you, you will not follow her orders?

You have to grow-up sometime. A good time to begin is in highschool.

Don’t let age influence whether or not you learn from an individual.

Yes, it is humiliating being told what to do, but with humility comes wisdom. With humility comes knowledge. Being proud will fog-up your reasoning and close your mind.

Be an avid student and thirst for knowledge all of your life. I am still a “student” of life and I am in my 30’s.

I learn from the elderly person I met in line at the grocery store how to best prepare zucchini. I learn from the librariian in her 20’s that lives down the street from me, who is the best up and coming medical science mystery writer. I learn from the mother of 5 how best to get carrot stains out of my child’s clothes.

Before you speak, take 2 breaths. Think about what is in your heart and what is in your mind and choose what to say based on which will do least harm. Look the person in the eye when they speak to you and when you speak to them.

Youth can be either a gift or a curse. Make yours a gift. Go out of your way to make others feel good about themselves and you will be blessed in return.

Take care.

Punishment can be very humiliating. But you already admitted that you have a bad performance and you are not doing homework. So can you correct your bad performance on your own without having to be told once, twice and many times later ? And when are you going to do your homework ? You see, as long as your performance is up to standard and you do your homework, you will get yourself off from all unnecessary problems. A teacher does not just teach. She has to see that you learn something about life like self discipline, like responsibility, like knowing what you want for your future etc. etc. If you quit, you are only saying that schooling is not important. But schooling is very important because it will decide whether you have a better job or a worse one.

May be you could see the school counsellor who will help you to talk to this teacher on your behalf and let her know that you are the sensitive type and if there is any punishment, it should be done privately and you will take heed from that and you will change and improve yourself.

You’re 18! 25 or 26 is hardly “your age” as you call it. I’m 26 now and I look back at when I was 18 and it’s a TOTALLY different world. Think about it this way…in two years, she’s gonna have her 10 year high school reunion! And yes, even though she’s young, you still have to respect her as a teacher. You do A LOT of living in 8 years. There’s hardly an age comparison here at all.

Quitting studying is apparently not going to help, since she’ll just try to punish you more. Please act your age, you’re 18, and realize that this is not the worst problem you will ever face in your life. But i realize that it really sucks when you don’t get along with a teacher. So, here are your options:

-Start doing your homework, and she will see that you are trying, and should stop punishing you

-Get a class change to a different teacher

-Sit down and talk to your teacher, calmly and in an adult manner.

I feel like there may be details you arent telling us, is she mean to you for no reason?

I’m sorry you felt humiliated, and i hope it works out!

my aunt became a high school teacher at the age of Twenty. When becoming teachers, they tell you that you need to be firm because that “respect for elders” will not happen to them because they are so young. Future teachers need to be tough so that their classes will not be over run by the students. This is what my aunt was taught and this is what I have been taught.

“Do not try to be the students friend or pal. They need to know that you are there to help them learn by being the teacher, not a fellow classmate.”

It is hard to be a teacher of students who are so close to your age. This teacher must have high expectations from all of her students, which is why she is stirct with homework and assignments.

Wait to you go to college. you’ll prob thank her for being strict.

A teacher is there to teach. It doesn’t matter how old she is. You should be reprimanded for bad performance or not doing homework. A 60 year old teacher would do the same. It probably makes her just as uncomfortable to have to do it, so maybe you should consider doing a better job, and just accepting the fact that you’re there to learn, not judge.

Yes because she would not have to punish you if you actually did your work. Also, I am a 22 year old high school teacher and I can tell you that you are probably not anywhere near her age in maturity. Grow up and get over it.

That’s a very immature attitude. Of course a teacher can punish you for bad performance or not doing homework. Now get back to work and learn what you to need to learn!

yeah she’s your teacher she can punish you…what does it matter how old she is i’d be stoked to have a young teacher rather than an old cranky lady

You should ask to switch to a different class if you feel that bad. I’m sure there are different teacers for that class
