when your teacher is your friend

If your teacher is your friend, why not ask help with the subject that you are failing. I am sure that with that help you will be able to ace your exams next time.

In my university,the failure of exam is common.But students don't mind the marks in the past.Instead,they will study harder and try to get a great progress.The change in study will be the best gift to them and teachers.So I think you needn't have been too ashamed.

Its nice to have a teacher and a friend at the same time.

Is your friend senior than you?I think,he is,otherwise how can he be your teacher.It doesn't matter whether you passed in his subjects.After all he is your friend,you may ask him to explain to you everything you have not understood.I am sure he would help you,because you are his friend.And,from your post,I guess,you both are intimate friends.By the way,would you please tell me why you think you don't have the courage to talk to him?

hahaha I have a friend who is my professor in college. but the relationship between teacher-student was highly professional.. though I excel his class "Fortran" programming... hahaha old time program. I had a student who is my friend as in one of the gangs. now when we see each other to gathering he always call me "ma'am" and he is very proud to tell every one that I became his college professor. ewwwww....

that was fantastic easy to learn, easy to catch up and easy to ask question but still don't forget to study hard for exam

i have a teacher before who im very close with, but i don't do what you're doing, because we're friends i push myself to study more and exert more effect not to embarrass her or to give her headaches. Up to this date, we're still close.

actually it is a good thing when your teacher or your student is your friend,but when inside of the classroom teacher and student have different thing,i can laugh with my teacher when i was studying but i was also serious when my teacher starts to tecah.

Just study well and prepare yourself more for the exams. Then you won't fail and you will be able to continue your friendship with him with no problems.

thats ok...nextime you should study so that you will not be ashamed to your teacher..

Hi wendylb. Well you should not feel ashamed if he is your friend. I am pretty sure that he will understand you. In fact I believe he is the best person to help you out with your studies. So dont hesitate and talk to him openly like you always did. Anyways have a nice day ... SuperShames

Oh you don't have to feel ashamed, because as students, we are not perfect, and we are allowed to make mistakes, no matter the teacher is our friend or not. In this case you should put up your mind and try to work harder on your studies, turn the guilt into motivation. Your friend will be very happy if you really take efforts, be the result good or bad. If you need to talk to your friend, choose a proper time and ask for some suggestions on your study, and I'm sure your friend will NOT discriminate or look down upon you at all. Relax, it's no big deal!:D

it is so enjoyable to be with friends and laught but everything has time and limit. you should make time for your study as well, and being with friends too. so try to make a programl for your study, and some time to be with your friends.

don't feeling so bad,i think he won't just feel dispointed about you.do you best and he will also encourage you.i never have had a teacher as friend,since i was in primary school,the most people i feared is teachers,you are a luck guy

Go talk to your friend. If the person is your true friend, then your failures will not come in between or even dent your friendship. He may already be helping you and if not for his help, you would have been worse off. Maybe this last season you can try harder along with his help and finally pass this time. Try it, just a gift to your friendship.
