[QUOTE="Andrew_Xavier"][QUOTE="CleanPlayer"]Excuse me?

Also, nowhere in your original story did you says you owned up, you should have owned up quicker, he called you a female dog and moved on. Did he scream at you for 30 straight minutes? No. Did he do anything harmful? No. Where you causing trouble? Yes. Your high school has a policy in which teachers cannot yet at students? Bah, memories of the gifted program which I left because the teachers were too scared to correct us. Coaches =/= Teachers. Similar, but not the same. Either way, all of my least favorite coaches I ever had yelled all the time and my favorite ones only yelled when it was necessary. I had a lot of coaches as teachers :P Keep in mind, in Canada, high schools don't hire coaches, teachers volunteer to coach teams on their own time. I didn't say all the time either, this guy is saying that one small incident has ruined his educational life, that's wild.
My teacher offended me and called me out in front of my class
This topic is locked from further discussion.
So, IN Canada, he wouldn't be cut out for sports. Is that what you are saying? And really? Did he say that (ruining his educational life) in his OP?battlefront23Nowhere with coaches who yell would he be able to deal with competitive sports if he can't take any form of authority figure yelling at him for his own mistake...which he has done multiple times.
I really don't want to go to his class anymore. I've lost all respect for my teacher. CleanPlayerSee? He cannot go to class anymore, because he didn't follow the rules, multiple times, and was call on it once.

Bah, memories of the gifted program which I left because the teachers were too scared to correct us.I do play varsity sports and I do get yelled for doing something stupid. I didn't do something that serious, almost everyone has their cell-phones turned on and mine was hit accidentally, I wasn't texting or calling someone. He overreacted, it's unacceptable on how I was treated. I got to a highschool where teachers shouldn't call other students little b*******. How the hell was I causing trouble? It was a very light noise I still can't believe he heard. I did own up to my mistakes, I put in clearly in the text.
[QUOTE="CleanPlayer"]So what should I do?
OfficialBed
Turn off your cell phone during class.
Yea maybe I should try that.[QUOTE="battlefront23"]So, IN Canada, he wouldn't be cut out for sports. Is that what you are saying? And really?

He cannot go to class anymore, because he didn't follow the rules, multiple times, and was call on it once. But dude, you have to put in consideration the time and the place. The teacher of a classroom should NEVER yell at a student out of spite, and should NEVER call a student names. Now for sports... it's a bit different. You kind of expect the yelling from the coaches to a certain extent. I myself would be shocked if I was yelled at for something as trivial as that by a teacher, but I could definitely see a coach randomly getting mad at something like that.
[quote="CleanPlayer"]I really don't want to go to his class anymore. I've lost all respect for my teacher. Andrew_XavierSee? He cannot go to class anymore, because he didn't follow the rules, multiple times, and was call on it once. I'm choosing not to go to the class.
I have no respect for you, Seriiously, I did take responsibility with my actions by saying to the teacher it was my phone that went off. I'm tired of people claiming I did something so bad to be called a little b***** during class, it's unbelievable people think that's okay. There is a reason for me to be pissed, he got away with insulting me. GET THAT THROUGH YOUR HEAD. CleanPlayerYES, he got away with calling you out on a mistake you've made multiple times. It's almost like he is some kind of authority figure...maybe...I don't know, paid to teach and keep the class orderly...I wonder what that position would be called....hmmm.... Teachers have gotten in trouble for insulting students before, but it was BEYOND worse than your little story, more like they tore into the student for an extended period of time, or had the class vote on whether to kick them out or not, serious problems like this. You didn't face a serious problem, you are trying to make it worse in your own head to justify you making multiple mistakes on multiple occasions. I'm also not terribly shocked that you have no respect for me, you have no respect for the rules, and I tend to follow them, or accept responsibility (as in, not posting a huge baww about a teacher calling me on a mistake I've made multiple times) when I do.
You know, back when I was in high school I've had teachers say some pretty bigoted comments about political and religious organizations they disagreed with...it makes me wonder if I could have complained, now that I think about it.viewtiful26Likely, bigoted/racist comments are far far more offensive than calling someone a female dog.

The first time the phone went off, he didn't call me a b****, he gave me a detention. It doesn't take responsibility to justify my teacher's actions for insulting me. You know why I have no respect for you? Because you fail to realize my position. I was insulted by my teacher who was supposed to teach me. Don't call my story little, my story is serious because what the teacher did is unjustified. Stop acting like I'm a troublemaker, you don't know me.
Are you for real right now? The first time the phone went off, he didn't call me a b****, he gave me a detention.CleanPlayerOh, so...the second time the same exact thing happened, he gave you a verbal reprimand? You mean, the more you break the same rule, the worse the penalty? I'm shocked.
You know why I have no respect for you? Because you fail to realize my position.CleanPlayerOf course I fail to realize your position, you were given a quick reprimand, and nothing more, and you are acting like you were beaten or worse by your teacher. You know what your problem is going to be moving forward? If you constantly make mountains out of mole hills like this, or "cry wolf", when something awful does happen, no one will believe you.
Don't call my story little, my story is serious because what the teacher did is unjustified.CleanPlayerNo, serious would be your teacher ripping into you for an extended period of time using all kinds of hideous insults, or assaulting you, or sexually harassing you, or throwing you out of class permanently, you were delivered a QUICK and painless reprimand, for intentionally breaking a rule multiple times (not sure how many, likely daily, and I mean the rule about turning your phone OFF.) You got off lucky. If I was your teacher, sure, I wouldn't have delivered a one line verbal reprimand, I would have given you AT LEAST a week's detention, and looked into making it so you could not bring your cell phone into class at all, unless you've proven it's off.
Where is the discipline in your school system?

1. You didn't own up straight away, you seem to deserve that in some regard.
2. You're meant to be studying and should've known better to have your phone on or at least on silent.
3. Sounds like it.
Dude, teachers call students stuff all the time. I've been called a prick and an smart arse many a time by teachers, I dont care. Deal with it, you're no special then the rest of us.
Wow this topic is going on? I'll say it again, TC ignore these guys who think it's ok for teachers to cuss and yell whatever junk they want. There's a fine line between calling a student a trouble maker and something as derogatory as a ****. This isn't a sports game, it's the class room, and calling something like this as unprofessional is an understatement. Renegade_Fury:lol: It amazes me how, put in certain circumstances, you think that people have only RIGHTS, not RESPONSABILITIES. Of course, the teacher was wrong to curse, but so was the kid, 2nd offence.

This isn't an issue of being able to take criticism, it's about a teacher overstepping their boundaries. How some of you guys can defend this joke of an instructor amazes me.

That's the rule he broke, for the 2nd time. What's so hard to understand? I agreed that the teacher over reacted, didn't I?
Come on TC, really? So your teacher insulted you, big whoop. What should you do? Nothing...have you never been insulted in your life? Dont be so hyper sensitive :?Okay here's the story. During my class, one of my cell-phone volume buttons accidentally hit against the table making a very low beeping noise. At first I thought, no big deal so I didn't say anything. My teacher said Who's cell-phone was that? I still didn't say it was me because last time I owned up to my cell-phone beeping he gave me a detention. As thiry seconds passed, people started accusing each other. I felt bad so I said it was my cell-phone.
My teacher flipped, he told me to stop being a little b-word, and be a man. Right when I heard this, I was shocked. He insulted me and humiliated me in front of my class and got away with that. I don't know what to do....I really don't want to go to his class anymore. I've lost all respect for my teacher.
So what should I do?

He already said he should probably keep his phone off from now on. The topic was created b/c he was in shock of how his teacher acted, and what he should do about it. All my comments are based off of that. I have not attacked him. Don't infer that, because it is not true. What I said was that the kid was wrong too. I understand the overreaction of the teacher, but the kid was wrong too. If the kid understand to keep the phone on silent mode from now on it's good, it means this thread was not in vain. He already knows his fault to the story, and has said so himself. All he wants to know is how he should handle the situation in response to the teacher's reaction, which again, is the point of this thread.

I dont get what the point is. Not every little indignity needs a response. Think about it this way, he's teacher snapped and yelled at him. Sure it sucks but get over it! It happens in life, just move on! If we all made such a big deal of anytime someone does something wrong, we would all be whining 24/7. Now if the teacher continually insults and humilates him, he should probably talk to him, and if that doesnt work, to the principle or something. But the teacher snapped in class and he is thinking up some grand reaction? Jesus...I would never waste so much time with something so trivial, as soon as the class is over I would probably have forgotten about the incident. People these days are so sensitive about everything. Not everything needs a grand response :? 20 bucks says that TC is the only one still hung up on this issue...everyone else including the teacher is already on to something else yet TC is holding a pointless grudge over a little and irrelevant argument.
And to all the people who said "I would flick him off! no one talks to me like that", grow up. How does that help anyone? Its like those people who make threads on OT flaming a mod after they get suspended or something...thats real cool, right? :roll: If you have a problem with someone talk to them privately, there is no need to be rude, because the moment you start insulting people they automatically start disregarding everything you say. In my personal opinion, you should just let this slide. Its not like the teacher has a vendetta against you or anything, but if you are so "shocked" by the way he "humiliated" and insulted you (because no one has ever insulted you before) then I suggest you do what mature people do....talk to him

He called him a ****. He didn't call him a trouble maker, stupid, or even a smart ass. As a teacher you have a responsibility to keep a certain amount of professionalism and uphold a level of respect with your students, especially within the classroom. The teacher is not to be put at the same level as of student. Hell, not even a GSI is allowed to talk to a student in remotely such a derogatory manner. If that happened at the college level, the guy might have even been sued (and no I'm not joking). If he can't keep his emotions in check, then he shouldn't be teaching, especially after the kid confessed too. If you could brush it off, then good for you, but the TC has every right to be as upset as he is and shouldn't be ridiculed for it.

If something as trivial as this gets you guys so worked up then I don't wanna know how you guys would react when something of importance actually happens :? Anyways, like I said, he should just talk to the teacher, simple as that.Please Log In to post.
