Should I write my teacher an apology letter? Help 10 points?

Question

I was out of line. I was in her face trying to intimidate her and acting like I was going to hit her. I feel terrible.

I go back to school tomorrow after serving a suspension.

Would she appreciate an apology letter? Or be happy at the least?

Answer 1

yes a written and oral apology is a good idea. Lets her know you learnt from your mistake but your actions will also show it. It is hard work for teachers and they don't get paid enough. Start showing more respect for your teachers. They are people too and deserve to feel safe.

Answer 2

yes

Answer 3

Yes. And after a while you need to talk to her. How could you act like you were going to hit a woman. If I was in your class I would have kicked your *** right there..

Answer 4

i think if it was genuine it would definitely be appreciated but you need to show in your actions as well that you are remorseful

Answer 5

lucky that you never got expelled for ever,   you cant do that sort of thing and get away with it. yes you can send her an apology but will it stop you from doing it again.  If I was your teacher,  I would refuse to have you in my class.

Answer 6

I would get up in front of class just before it starts and make a public aplology to the teacher and let her know that what you did was wrong.  You'll also want to face the class and let them know that what you did should never be done by any student and you hope that they weren't offended by your actions.  Let them know also that you still respect everyone and hope they can clear up any judgement they have already made about you.

Do this and you'll get mad love and respect from everyone and especially your teacher.

Good Luck.

Answer 7

You go talk to her in PERSON.

Answer 8

Yes, you should write her an apology letter.

My daughter is in preschool and she had two issues this year and I made her write an apology letter to both people.

Since you are older, you should definitely write a letter. It shows that you are indeed sorry for what you did. And I think she would appreciate it.

Good luck!

Answer 9

Yes, writing an apology letter is the right thing to do,

Answer 10

Yes please go ahead and do it. Good relationships with teachers contribute to your learning opportunities. Hope you can make it up somehow by studying harder and getting excellent points on the exams. She will feel proud of you for accepting responsibility and improving your grades make her work easier and enjoyable.  Your success in school is your teacher's success as well.

Answer 11

An apology would be a very good idea. She will respect you more for it. Its good that your showing maturity and you know what you did was wrong, you took what you got and understand why. Thats what you nees to say also. I think she will be very happy or at least appreciative of the apology that you will right.

Answer 12

Apologies are always nice.  At least it's harder than suspensions.  So yes.

Answer 13

you should write one, if you feeling shy to apologize face to face..maybe you'll be suspended but at least you'll feel at ease and she might appreciate your apologize..

Answer 14

even better, talk to her in person and explain why you feel how you feel and ask for forgiveness.  An adult would do it face to face.

Answer 15

She probably would appreciate an apology letter (or even a sincere, "Ms. Smith, I'm really sorry I did that.  I won't happen again."

Even just a sincere verbal comment from you could help clear the air because the situation is probably awkward at this point.

Answer 16

no

Answer 17

Honestly,I would apoligize face-to-face.Tell her how truly sorry you are,and she'll probably forgive you.

Answer 18

ummm... my friend got a suspension 4 cussing out a teacher last week and she wrote an apology letter and that teacher like loves her now (in a student way).....sooo.I WOULD SAY YES AN APOLOGY LETTER WOULD HELP!!!!!

Answer 19

yes definitely give her an apology letter. this will clear things up between the two of you and not make things so awkward.. plus you won't completely be on her bad side... just kinda in the  middle.

Answer 20

It may show her that at least your not a dough-brained thug, id do it, i think she would appreciate it and would break the ice.

Answer 21

An apology letter would be nice.  What would be nicer is a verbal apology and a promise never to do this again.

Answer 22

I think that would be a very mature thing to do, I'm sure she will accept your apology.  Hope there won't be any ill feelings on her part.

Answer 23

I don't think a letter is called for.  I'm sure she would really appreciate it if you arrived a minute early and told her personally that you are sorry.  Then make sure it doesn't happen again. Nothing worse than an apology that isn't worth anything.

Answer 24

apology letter or not your still suspended but what you did was wrong so duh you should write one to her and tell her you wont do it again.

Answer 25

Yes do

Answer 26

yes, its good you can step up and see you were out of line, teachers really appreacite that, write down how you should of acted and im sure she'll appreciate that its heartfelt.

Answer 27

I think an apology letter would be a difficult yet very mature thing to do. From a teachers point of view, I think that she would see that you are trying to rectify the situation, and are genuine about being sorry. You do seem to be very genuinely sorry and seem to have a good understanding that what you did was wrong. It's hard to stand up and admit that you did the wrong thing but it is such a good quality to be able to learn from your mistakes.

Answer 28

Yes definitely write a letter. I had a friend who had issues with authority back in high school. It's a serious problem, you may want to talk to someone about it. A therapist or school advisor. Anger is not something that goes away with one suspension. A letter is a perfect way to express your feelings just be careful about what you say.

You crossed the line, and teachers deal with this year after year, a grand gesture would really help to win her respect back. It's also good to state that you know you were out of line and that it's not ok and you want to deal with this problem. She's an educator she wants you to learn from this.

Good luck!

Answer 29

An apology that is owed is always appreciated.  Give her a letter, I bet things will be cool, and you will feel better, too.

Answer 30

yes.....that would be a nice thing to do. even just going up to her and apologizing is good. I'm sure that she would be very pleased.

this shows that you know you have done a wrong thing and want to make up for it by apologizing to the person you have hurt. this shows great maturity and i respect you for that!
