My Teacher Hates me!!!!

Why are you texting in class? You're getting bad grades because you're paying more attention to your phone than your class.

If you are really worried about why she is grading you the way she is you need to make time to talk to her during her office hours. That way you can fix whatever it is you are doing wrong . If you are texting alot in class and she sees it she might think you are not serious about the course and will not like that one bit.

Yes, professors do tend to dislike openly disrespectful students...

Stop texting, start paying attention in class, and maybe, just maybe your grades will come up. If you can't make office hours, HUMBLY email the professor and ask if you can set up an appointment to go over your performance and how you can improve.

Oh, trust me, the "little stuff that doesn't matter" - it DOES matter. Especially if you make it to nursing school and beyond, it's the "little stuff" that will kill your pts if you're not careful. Learning attention to detail and jumping through hoops is a good skill and will serve you well.

I'm not a pre-nursing student at this moment, but I've worked for one of the professors at my university for 2 years now and have seen almost everything.

While you might not feel this way, your teacher might think you are not really a serious student. She has told you to meet with her during office hours and you are finding excuses not to. She probably would take the time to talk to you, but in class is not the appropriate place or time, especially if she has told you to approach this at another time. I also would put your phone away. This obviously is a problem with the teacher and texting during class is pretty rude and might also be disruptive to others around you. Do not worry about what other students are doing, worry about yourself and how your teacher perceives you. Also, the little things do matter - spelling, grammar, content, etc. College, like work, is not a democracy. This is her class, her rules, her grading system, so you either need to try harder to turn in what she wants and expects or you can drop the class to take again. It's totally up to you.

If I'm being completely honest, texting in class SCREAMS disrespect. Any professor that I have ever had would not tolerate this. I have four kids and I leave my phone in my pocket on vibrate in case of an emergency. You need to tell your sister that just because you can't text her back, it does not mean that you are ignoring her. You're being respectful of your teacher. She should OBVIOUSLY understand this. How would you feel if you went to meet with your teacher about your concerns and she was texting while you were talking to her. It's just plain rude.

I'm not trying to be mean, but this is kind of common sense info. If you really are serious about school, then you have to show that you are. In the end you'll only hurt yourself. Good Luck!

Is this a troll? I began reading this post with a roll of my eyes when it started with 'omg.' Then go on to say the teacher hates you because she tells you not to text in class? How dare she! Then she takes your phone and all you worry about is the drama with your sister? Plus this tells me you spend a great deal of time texting in class...which means not paying attention. And you think your poor grades are her fault? Grow up! If you a serious and you really want to be a nurse, you will need to do just that. P.S. stop texting in class!!

Yes, the OP does read like a joke post, doesn't it? I have my doubts about it, too. It's hard to believe that any one person would be so clearly demonstrating so many stereo-typical weaknesses as a student.

This is the OP's first and only post. For the love of all that is good..please tell me this is a troll!! Mad about having her phone taken from b/c she's always texting in class so she can avoid drama with her sister?! Really...

If she's 'always yelling' at you to 'turn your phone off'..here's an idea...DO IT! Turn the thing off, stop texting and PAY attention. Not sure about other schools but mine has a NO cell phone policy. Not only does constant texting etc detract from your LEARNING what is being taught but its just plain rude..to others in the class (click, click,click of the keys on the phone..giggle, giggle to a text..click, click, giggle. gets a bit annoying!) and more especially to the teacher.

Suck it up buttercup, meet with the teacher during her office hours (that's what they are for) and turn off the flippin phone!

omg my teacher hates me and I don know what to do. Every homework I turn in she puts like 60 percent on and makes it all up for little stuff that doesn't matter. It doesn't matter how much time I put in on it. When I ask her about it in class she just says "its sub-par" or something stupid like to read it again and doesn't say why or anything. I tell her "what do you mean" and she says to see her during office hours but I have like 3 other classes and when would I find the time for that???? Shes always yelling at me to turn my phone off or stop texting, like 40 times a day. One time she took my phone away from me and my sister thought I was ignoring her and I had to deal with the drama for that afterwards. Not cool!!!!
Meanwhile, there's a guy next to me who types on his laptop all thru class and how come she never checks to see if he's chatting on facebook or something????
I'm an awesome student and I have a 4.0 in every class till this one. Shes just so mean to some of us girls and grades unfairly. I just don't know what to do. If this keeps up I'm going to have to drop this class and see if another teacher does it but that would mean I have to waste a whole semester. I don't want to do that.

If this is real. :cool: You need to like, shut off your phone and show respect....... don't worry about the guy next to you because it is your work suffering and you need to find time to see your instructor. :paw:

ps...I'd take your phone away as well LONG before the 40th time I told you to put it away.

Troll..

Excuse me.

It is my respectful opinion that the OP's situation is not real.

ckh23, BSN, RN · Apr 12, 2012

I doubt this is real, but I'll bite.

GROW UP!! You shouldn't be using your phone and texting in class. It is rude and disrespectful. Office hours are for just the situation you describe. Why should other people who are paying for class have to have their time wasted listening to you gripe about assignments you consistenly do poorly on. It is not the teacher's problem that your "schedule" makes it inconvient for you to make office hours. If you were truely that upset about these assignments than you would make the time to get in during those office hours.

This isn't high school. Mommy and Daddy are there to hold your hand anymore. It's time to put on your big girl/boy pants and wake up to the real world because in reality no one cares and no one will put up with your childish ways. I say kudos to your professor.
