That, I think, is a problem created by the failings of our particular school system and not a characteristic of all schools.

I also think that a lot of the problem is the general, I dunno, feeling I guess that a lot of kids have that makes them think they don't need a high school education. And to combat that you need support from inside the home and the community, which can be sadly lacking.

School is a prison. A prison with a few good books, but a prison nonetheless. And prisons don't work on a mutual respect system. They work on the "shut up and sit down" system. If a teacher treats me like dirt, why should I act any better?

A good point, to a certain extent. But I also think there's a certain complexity that adds to the disrespect and emnity between teachers and students. On one hand, you have students who are forced to come to school and take classes that they don't want to take and that they think are pointless. So they get unhappy and don't take part in the class, etc. and then of course that upsets the teachers because honestly who wants to teach people who don't want to learn?

Aw now, teachers are people. Students are people. People don't always like people. There doesn't have to be a reason.

However, weather the student likes the teacher or not, they should give her respect and attention in the classroom, & same goes for the teacher to the student.

I think that sometime teachers put a child in a position that makes them dislike their teacher.
Like in my school today I listen to waht one of my teacher said to a student she said,"YOU STUPID NUT" or stating where they'll end up in a few years, like working at McDonalds or BugerKing.We should find comfort and help from our teachers instead we get turned away.

im ok with ppl disliking thier teachers but i hate when they think they are so cool when they talk back and be completely rude. what ever happened to respect your elders? i was in class the other day and one girl was texting so the teacher asked to have her phone. but instead of just handing it over she made a huge scene and took out the battery. and another time she accused the teacher of verbally abusing her because he said. "your just a freshamn. dont talk back to me or anyother teacher of you will have a hard time in this school." i mean seriously. come on!

Generally speaking, if you care about money, you don't become a teacher.

Or if you do, and you want to become a teacher, you take up two or three other jobs. I'll be bartending on the weekends, and work some shifts at the grocery store as well, so that I can pay off my loans as quickly as possible.

And if you think teachers don't know what they're doing... look at the politicians.

I think that the idea of hating teachers not only comes from peers but also because the teachers give a reason for their students to hate them. Personally I seem to initially dislike my teachers until I either end up hating or liking them. I don't think that the situation always comes down to weather or not the teacher should be hated, but rather the reason for why the student hates the teacher. Something I noticed with a lot of my friends is that once a majority of students hate one teacher, that teacher becomes hated by students that may or may not be theirs. Basically people tend to follow the crowd. However there is an individual level to a lot of this. For example, many times an individual student hates a teacher, however the rest of the class likes the teacher. So then you really just have to ask the question of why that one student hates their teacher.

moved me to the back of the class because I had to tell my bff that her bf was cheating on her,she takes up our notes,doesn't let us talk,

Here's your problem. See teachers taking their meager, shitty, pathetic salaries for the chance to knock some knowledge in to your skull for the hour or so they have you and hopefully improve america's youth. When you do things like the above which distract your attention from the lesson and essentially spit in the face of their efforts to help you out they get more then mildly peeved. I'm all for communicating with ones friends but before and after class please.

I hate one of my teachers so much.I hated them because she picked on me all the time,moved me to the back of the class because I had to tell my bff that her bf was cheating on her,she takes up our notes,doesn't let us talk,and gives us more homework to handell.She teaches eng. and read.,but shes damn good at it.So I say you can have a least one person/teacher to hate.Just don't act to tough people aren't to fond of young adults being mad at alot of people at once.you'll get quite lonly.trust me i've been there.

I have often been accused of things I didn't do, because I was labeled as a noisemaker when I was little. I talked a lot and was really loud. I have gotten a little better, but I still hate it when I am blamed for things I didn't do. I don't hate me teachers because of the false accusations, but I can be really annoying at times. We may say that we hate our teachers for things like that, but it is not very often that we have a real reason.

What is all this bull people saying kids just say they hate there teachers for atintion.what bull. I say i hate my teach becuse i have a reson. The teacher new i was gay and so when he discoverd that i drew a rainbow In class one day he held it in front of the class and said look what the sissy fagg drew. so dont be saying kids do it for atintion most of them dont and many of them have a valid reson for hating..
