View full author bio Close. My philosophy has always been to teach my kids to work through conflict with healthy communication. So, what does that mean? We each have different personalities: sometimes they don't click so well together and sometimes they do. Understanding compromise and speaking our own truth, with respect, seems like the key behavior, yet it can be so difficult to do.
Learning how to work through difficult situations is an important life skill, so my philosophy has always been to encourage my child to stick it out and see how the year progresses, assisting as needed. Many times, all the rumors they first heard about a teacher didn't ring true for them and they had a wonderful year.
The only time I ever stepped in was when the school had switched teachers around the following year and my daughter ended up with the same teacher two years in a row Talking with teachers at the beginning of the school year and establishing a relationship right at the start has certainly helped me, and I hope the teachers, too.
One of my daughters has an innate and odd reaction to conflict situations. She smiles. Yes, that is right, she smiles. It took us a while to figure out that this was her natural reaction to uncomfortable situations or when she, or anyone for that matter, is being reprimanded. You can imagine how we reacted at first We realized that this could cause some major problems in school so at the beginning of each year, we would meet with the teachers to explain that she really wasn't trying to make them even more angry, but that she would react like this through any tense encounters.
In sharing this with them, potential conflicts could be prevented. Discussing learning styles, how our children take in information and make decisions, their comfort level with classroom interaction, and homework habits, goes a long way in helping teachers understand our children's different personalities. Not that it should ever be an excuse for lack of participation or incomplete homework, but instead, a way to get to know and better understand our child as a student.

You might see your teacher as only being a teacher, but keep in mind that they have a life of their own. Your teacher may be going through problems in their personal life, be stressed out from bad students, or be tired from working so much.
Don't be too hard on your teacher and remember that they are a person too. Ask your teacher about their weekend, or what their favorite movies are. They'll appreciate you making an effort to learn more about them. Don't give your teacher a reason not to like you. You and your teacher don't have to be best friends, but you should be able to work together in a stress-free environment.
Don't be a nuisance or give your teacher a hard time, and they'll most likely stop giving you a hard time. If you focus on your schoolwork and treat your teacher with respect, they should have no reason to dislike you. Speak to your teacher respectfully. If your teacher seems to dislike you, it may be difficult for you to treat them with respect. However, if you're able to be respectful with your teacher while discussing schoolwork or personal issues, they may start to develop a mutual respect for you.
When issues arise in the future, talk to your teacher respectfully, and in private, to hopefully resolve the issue. Andy Winder.

Not Helpful 17 Helpful My teacher is a really reasonable person, but I have done some disrespectful things. Now I feel like he dislikes me. What should I do? I went through the same things when I was in high school. I wasn't necessarily a bad student, but I would talk during class. The best thing to do is to stop acting disrespectfully, and show him that you care about the class and want to succeed. If he still is prejudiced against you, try approaching him in a respectful manner and say that you want to do well and inquire what you can do to get better.
Not Helpful 21 Helpful I'm not a disruptive student at all. I'm actually very shy and don't like to say things in front of the whole class, because when I do, everyone stares at me.
