A good relationship with a teacher today may help you in the future. You will need teachers’ written recommendations (推荐信) to apply to a college or for a job after high school. And if you’re thinking about going into a career in science, who is better to ask about the field than your science teacher?
If you don’t get along well with your teachers, you can try to do this. Before you try to get out of a class to escape a teacher you don’t like, here are a few things you can try to make a difficult relationship improved:
●Ask yourself, “What can I learn from this teacher?” Even if you don’t worship (崇拜) his or her character or lectures, dig deep until you find a subject which he or she is very good at. Not only will you gain more knowledge in that subject, but a closer relationship with your teacher may help you understand one another better.
●Talk to students who are doing well in the class and ask them for tips, tools, and a plan of action to get along with the teacher better. If you’re too shy to talk to another student, study his or her actions and behavior in the classroom and try to follow that lead.
●If you still can’t get along, make an appointment with the school guidance counselor (辅导员). He or she will offer many tips and suggestions for you to get out of difficult teacher relationships. Sometimes a guidance counselor can act as a mediator (调停者) between you and the teacher. That means they can help you and your teachers avoid the bad impression on each other.
●If your relationship problems can’t be solved in school, then it’s time to tell your parents or guardians. Let them meet with your teacher and try to work it out.
Teachers are there for more than just homework, and they know about more than just their subject matter. They can help you learn how to function as an adult and a lifelong learner. Undoubtedly, there will be a few teachers along the way who you’ll always remember and who might change your life forever.
