MY  TEACHER

DOESN'T

LIKE ME!!!!

If your child hits you with, "my teacher doesn't like me," empathize with your child and their frustrations.  Don't jump on the I hate the teacher bandwagon.  Doing so will just cloud the situation and you won't be able to think rationally about it.  Instead talk about the situation and perhaps your child is misinterpreting the situation.  Is the teacher "mean" or just demanding excellence from the students?  The teacher is not mean for having you rewrite a messy paper.  If you had written it neatly you wouldn't have had to rewrite it.  The teacher isn't mean for having you miss recess because you were busy socializing and didn't finish your assignments.  A teacher isn't mean for having you sit in the front of the room next to her because you were being disruptive and she couldn't get through the lesson she had planned.  So help your child to see these things through their teacher's eyes.  Though if things continue and it is a constant conversation set up a conference with the teacher to have a deep conversation about the concerns.
