How to handle these kinds of teachers? Here’s the SUPER STAR way to your terror teacher’s heart: Smile – No, not the plastic and forced one. Something good will happen if you smile. Who knows, your teacher may get infected with it. Understand – They are still human and thus they are capable of having a bad day. Every action and word has a reason. If they can’t understand you, then you should understand them. It’s hard, but it won’t hurt if you try. Pray – Instead of asking God to curse the teacher, pray to Him that He will guide him/her. A prayer can move mountains, and also your teacher’s heart. Emit a Good Aura – It works like diffusion. If the concentration level of good aura is high, it will diffuse to those whose concentration level of good aura is low. Tada! Application of science in real life. Responsibility – Be responsible of your actions. Everyone loves a responsible person. Your terror teacher does, too. Study – Show your teacher that even if he/ she’s difficult to deal with, it won’t hinder your academic success. He/She will acknowledge you for that. Teamwork – In unity there is strength, cliché but true. The misconduct of one can affect everyone, and it can waste the other’s effort. And so, everyone must cooperate to make the classroom a good learning environment. Active – Recite when he/she asks a question. Participate actively in activities. When you and
everyone is having fun in a good way, the teacher can join in with the fun. Respect – This may be the strongest way to the terror teacher’s heart. If he/she is talking, shut up and listen. If you respect your terror teacher, he/she will respect you in return. You can’t expect them to respect you if you don’t do it to them. Think of your terror teacher as a mirror. If you smile, he/she will smile. If you frown, he/he will do the same. If you learn to respect him/her, he/she will return the favor, sometimes more than you expected. The strongest steel is sent through the hottest furnace. Life is not easy. School is definitely not easier. Terror teachers are a part of every student’s life in school. And so, instead of labeling them as hindrances, spawns from hell, and reincarnations of the devil, they should serve as a challenge for us. They are one of the flames that we must go through in order to be men and women of steel – people who are prepared for the battles of real life. Wouldn’t it be great to say and proclaim to everyone that you survived a terror teacher? We must learn to adapt and handle these kinds of teachers. It is good for our growth, not only academically, but also in the social aspect. We would learn how to interact with different types of people both angels and demons. The type of teachers aforementioned may be difficult, but we have to deal with it. After all, the education system may change to K-12, school buildings may crumble and fall, but terror teachers are here to stay. You have been warned.
Psychology says, “It’s sad when the people who gave you the best memories, become a memory.”
