Favouritism?

[akira88]

Does anyone feel that their teachers favour particular students?
My English teacher favours specific students and it makes it worse as English is a subjective subject (haha..) 
It makes it so unfair!

[kendraaaaa]

That's unavoidable hahaha. Teachers always have their favourites

Lol, yeah I've definitely seen favouritism in subjects like English and languages.
There's nothing you can do about it, except prove your ability to the teachers

[akira88]

Yeah it sucks
But like a very strong favouritism, V High for everything for something that they didn't do well, and for someone who had done something well, only getting mediums :\

My english language teacher last year used to favour a few. She practically wrote me off. I got a new one this year whose a little bit more like myself so thats good. Hopefully its the other way round.

Yeah.. it's total bullshit..
But realllllly helpful if you are on the favoured side!

Do you walk past teachers and greet them or have a joke or something with them? It improves the teacher - student relationship.
Try seeing them after class too and going through tough points - if they know you are working hard or struggling with something then they might be lenient on mistakes made in SACs and things.

If you disagree - I'm just saying it works for me!

The weird thing is that I do have a good student-teacher relationship, I think he has some idea floating around his head that some students are more "capable" than others, leading him to sugarcoat some student's weak points. But of course it's good if you're on the favoured side, but I'm not

Lol, I generally have good relations with my teachers, except this usually leads to them targetting me regularly about uniform etc.

yeah i tried to have a good student-teacher relationship with english teacher. not so much for the maths ones (coz it aint as subjective as english)

LOL wouldn't they be relaxed about the uniform then??

Nope, opposite. They know me, so if I walk past them, they usually say hello and notice the shoddy state of my uniform
It's not good

Confront him, but sincerely?
Otherwise it'll ruin that relationship lol...
Also, see him after class and tell him you want 40+ and if he has ideas/tips/advice to get you started now?

Hmm yeah I'll have to see
But I think I'd just have to live with it for now -.-

My methods teacher doesn't like me but its fantastic cause methods is one of the more subjective studies you can do so there's not many ways he can short change me.
