I did way back 6 years ago, that was the time we had our recognition day when me and my best friend were late. We were late because my best friend had to stay in the clinic for a while because she's not feeling well, she had dysmenorrhea. So, I accompanied her. 1 hr passed, We went directly to the auditoriunm as fast as we can. As we went up stairs we saw our teacher waiting for us. She asked why we were late, well I told her we went to the clinic. She won't believe what I said and it made me mad and raise a tone to her. She's always like that to me, I don't know why. I never talked to her since and I didn't participated in her class but I'm doing great with my papers so she can't fail me... Teachers is so mean but not all... I know there's a lot of teachers who really cares for their student.

Teachers are good, but not all. I have not experienced fighting my teacher at school because I knew I would be in trouble afterwards. The fighting I mean is in terms of using physical violation. During secondary school, I was forced to scold some teachers because they don't really take care of us. I knew they were paid even though they did not teach, but we learnt nothing during their class (that's not what education systems are for)

Hello there. Well honestly I don't think I had any fight with any of my teacher but I do think that I had a misunderstanding with a teacher in my school a few years back. It is not totally my fault cause he was the one asking questions to me in a raised tone. Even though I didn't answered in the same tone but my expression really made that teacher to miss understand me. At that time, I had many expression. Confuse, mad, startled, afraid. But the one that showed the most was mad. That's why he misunderstand me. He thought I was furious at him because he asked me questions. I didn't said anything and left him just like that, in confusion. HAHAHA..little bit wicked am I? xD

haha totally wicked! If I were in your place. I will do the same. I don't want someone raising tone if I didn't do anything wrong.

I had music lessons at school which meant that I had to miss 30 minutes of class every Friday. It changed times every week meaning that it was a different class missed every time, but there was this one teacher who would never let me go to my lesson, even though I was paying for it. I always argued with him until he let me go, but he was very stubborn and often made me miss half of my lesson. When I was late, my music teacher then argued with me about being late, therefore causing me to miss the rest of my lesson. So it was never a good day when I had to deal with both of those teachers at the same time. Oh, and when I was 8, I argued with a teacher about some homework that they said I hadn't handed in. I was in the right, but never got an apology from her. Funny really, because if I'd have been in the wrong I would have been punished and forced to apologise to her, but it seems to me that teachers and students have two very different sets of rules.

I was a very good student back then. And I never encountered fighting with any of my teachers. Some of my teachers were very mean but I can't do anything but to follow them for I am really afraid of being expelled from school for such a bad act. They are after all our second mothers at school and I respect my mother so I should pay them respect as well.

hello gaiza12, You're right, we should respect our teacher BUT if that teacher don't respect student and go overboard. We students have the right to complain so that no more student will get hurt or being insulted.

It's very unfortunate that you had that kind of relationship with your teacher. I am a teacher myself and to tell you the truth, it saddens us a lot when you fight us back. But I understand also that sometimes we tend to go overboard and we hurt you enough for you to be mean. Maybe, that is exactly the point, that behind everybody's anger is a reason...and that reason might have caused us pain...so we fight back...That's really sad, because it affected your performance in the class. Perhaps, had your relationship with her been free of prejudice, then you could have had performed better. Sometimes, I tell my students that if they cannot bring themselves to like me, thats okay, so long as they don't dislike the subject. Because teachers are not in school to act as miss congeniality, rather we are there to act as your second parents whose main function is to guide you so you can find your own place under the sun. But just like any parents, we also commit mistakes. In such a way that you too have your own share of wrong doings. It would take love, trust, respect and understanding for a relationship to go on smoothly. Also, as they say, it takes two to tango. So give each other a chance. There's nothing to lose anyway but everything to gain. I hope you will not take this negatively...:)

Good for you granny... =) But, fighting is not a bad thing if you know you're right. You don't have to be nice in front of your girlfriend or boyfriend. Being yourself is a great for everything not just relationships.

I personally never fought any teacher when I was still at school. but I knew a friend who had similar experience as you. he was very upset with our economy teacher because he felt that this teacher always accused him for not being attentive in class (chatting with friends, studied other things, played around with friends, etc). one time, he raised his voice tone and said straightforwardly to her that he didn't like her because she always accused him of always doing those bad things, while he felt he didn't always do it. then he walked out of class. but guess what, he got respect from his best friends. they followed him walking out of class. but most of students stayed in class. on the next day, our class master told him and his best friends to apologize to that teacher. we did not know much of what really happened when those boys talked to that teacher in teachers' room. but the problem was considered done after that. until now, I still felt pity to that economy teacher. she blushed when he talked like that. and we all could see that she was very stressed when they walked out of class without any respect for her. actually, this boy and his best friends were really inattentive in class. indeed, they did not always do that. but at least they often did it.

Yeah, teachers are mean.. my experience is worse than you our physics teacher was a real bad guy, his punishments were horrible he beat us with sticks for any mistakes we have done we kept quiet until he beat our friend resulting in a thick cut in his hand and was sent to the hospital(school did nothing on that issue) next thing we know, we were mad enough to kill.. when he came to class we shutted the door behind him and all the 54 students attacked him.. it was nasty.. he got pretty heavy beating and some bloodshed then police came and warned us, they did nothing to him for beating up a student he resigned and went out of city
