What to do..?

Question

In May, my English teacher took my journal so that she could check it. I wrote things in the back of the book that I wouldn't want her or anyone else to read. I was going to rip the page out before I gave it to her, but I forgot. She never gave it back to me because we started exams, so we didn't have classes. Before that, during first semester, I had art. I gave the teacher my last project and it was the last day for that class. It took me a while, but I finally asked her if she would give us the projects she had with her, and she said she would put them in a folder and give them back after report cards. She never did, and I couldn't get myself to ask, and she wasn't teaching me anymore. I'm not sure if both teachers threw those things away, but I have the English teacher's email and I thought I would ask her through email, but I'm too embarrassed to ask either of the teachers. Both will be my teachers next year also. School starts in about a month. I just need opinions on what to do.

Answer 1

My guess is she didn't read it and probably is just overwhelmed with paperwork. I would just say, I really would like to have that notebook back, do you still have it? That way it doesn't sound like there's anything your hiding, you just want your notebook back.

Answer 2

i wouldn't worry about seeming rude... you just want your stuff back, right?  just try emailing, if they even check it over the summer.  i have a feeling that both teachers probably threw the stuff away since its been such a long time, but its still worth a try!!  plus, if those two pages were at the back of your notebook, there's a big chance that your teacher didn't even see what you wrote!

Answer 3

Explain it to her.

Answer 4

Approach these teachers when it comes time for class next month. They probably forgot, or just didn't have the time. I'm sure they have them saved somewhere, though.
