In 6th grade i had chorus but i hated it because i thought the teacher hated me. I didnt try because i knew she would still be mean to me. I didnt take it in 7th grade and now im taking it again in 8th. school doesnt start yet and i was wondering how i could be a better student. Please let me know what u think!

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

Maybe if you tried the teacher would like you more

Answer 2

well u could start by actually trying in that class, the teacher is proably disapointed in how u don't try in that class and if u try the teacher would probably be nicer towards u

Answer 3

You can be a better student by following the rules.

Answer 4

As a teacher..I am compelled to answer this question.  First, know one thing..you are not at school for your teacher (per se).  You are there for an education and as an educator, it's her job to do that and provide you with a safe environment where you are able to learn.  It makes me nervous that you are worried about how she may treat you 1 month before the start of term.  If her treatment of you is at this level, please involve your parents.  Let them know how you are feeling and how she is making you feel.  I would even suggest that you start documenting her behavior and attitude toward you.  Now..I am not suggesting you do this just to get her "in trouble" however..you are going into 8th grade (I am an 8th grade teacher) and I tell my students that they must start learning how to take the lead and document problems and attempts to solve problems (put things in writing..keep a copy)....don't accept treatment that belittles you and makes you "dislike" your class.  As far as being a "better student" - your #1 job...keep your grades up...education is a competition of sorts.  It's very difficult for you guys to understand how it works because your age group is so concerned about name brand shoes and image but you let your grades slip.  Even in this class, where you are having difficulties, keep your grade up and make sure that you are being graded fairly.  Tell your parents first...attempt to open a dialogue with your teacher..(put it in writing and keep a copy of it if you must) and than if that doesn't work...head up the administrative ladder.  Do not get belligerent or disrespectful because than you will not be taken seriously and viewed as an "out of control" teen.  Do it the "right way" and there is a right way.  The fact that you are on here, seeking advice to how to "be a better student"..speaks volumes about your character.  To me...you are already a model for many other students.  Don't let this consume you...please enjoy the rest of your summer...know that it is coming...have a plan in mind...don't wait till the last minute to think about how you are going to talk to her.  And...know that teachers are not always right (I tell my students that all the time) and I think sometimes...we forget that.  Good luck...and again.. please enjoy your last year in middle school..it goes by soooo fast...you're going to blink and be in high school.  Allow no one to take the experience away from you or make it a "terrible" experience.

1. The most important thing: TRY! Even if you earn poor grades, you can always say you gave it your best shot.

2. Do not attempt to sing in a section your voice is not cut out for. If you are soprano, then sing with the other sopranos. I remember in middle school, everyone wanted to sing alto (girls) and tried to be in that section when alot of times they were sopranos. (boys wanted to be bass, but they couldn't and were placed alto and caused the same problems for the teacher.)

3. Don't complain about the songs the teacher chooses for you to sing. The choices were made after many thoughts and are intended to teach you about music and music theory. Perhaps how to notice certain patterns in the song so that you can begin learning how to read the music well.

Good luck.
