Question

How is it better for a pupil: to be polite or rude with teachers?

Answer 1

Definitely polite, politeness opens so many doors in life makes the recipient feel good and makes you look great!, whereas rudeness just makes people appear nasty, defensive, disrespectful, narrow-minded and is therefore a really unattractive quality in a human being.

Answer 2

It is never good for anyone to be rude with anyone at any time.  Of course it is better to be polite.  That doesn't mean that they need to politely accept abuse, but there is never any need to be rude.

Answer 3

it's never "better" to be rude to anyone at anytime.

Answer 4

Teachers are real people and respond just like any other person does. Think about how you respond to others. If they are polite, you are very likely much more likely to want to help them. If someone is rude and nasty to you, then you really don't care what happens to them.

Teachers are no different. They are not there to be verbally abused. Even the nastiest teacher will eventually respond to a nice and poolite student. Don't get caught up in the idea that to be assertive and stick up for yourself means being rude.

Answer 5

To be polite is best at any time.  Being rude makes the teacher and others lose respect for the rude person and the teacher won't be as willing to work with the rude student.  Being rude also disrupts the class and then the other students won't respect the rude student.  

Answer 6

I can't even take this question serious, but I do know that a rude student will be out of my classroom pretty darn quick.  The student won't like the consequences for being rude either.
