So I got my scedule for next year ahead of time, and there's two teachers that I don't want. I can't change classes, cause no other teachers are teaching at that same time, and I would screw up my whole scedule. What should I do?
Well, if you can't take any other classes or skip those two, isn't your choice then either to deal with the teachers or mess up your schedule majorly. Isn't it better to just try and survive the classes, bite the bullet and get them over with, the same teachers might be teaching the classes the year after too, in which case you'll have the same problem.
Is there a strong mutual dislike, is there anything you can do to get along better with them, try to talk to them before semester starts to explain how you do things and where the problems might be. Also work extremely hard in those classes, especially in the beginning, I find professor usually remember your first and last contributions the best in a given semester and tend to judge you based on those, so a good impression coming in is very positive.
Well for starters, why don't you like these teachers? And if you don't like them, do they dislike you also? Are these problems something that you can look passed for a semester or year? Do you think you can discuss the issues you have with these teachers?
well I dont like the way they structure the classes
What do you mean by structure? Do you mean the way they teach? What is it that you don't like about the structure? We might be able to discuss some ways around these issues if you are a bit more specific.
I was talking to someone about this exact same topic but in a bit of a different light and it's illegal to make the classes inaccessible. If you can't work with the structure because it's too visual, tell the teacher to modify it for it you so you can. They have to do so for you or they are breakingthe law. Tell them that too.
Say, Jaws can't read Java. Ms. gina gives you an assign on the computer dealing with a site based on Java and you can't do it, she'll have to modify the project for you.
Also what happened with me is to completely wip out your current schedule and reschedule. Pick teachers in other periods who can teach it better and are more accomodating.
Um wow Rachel, jumping pretty far ahead there, eh? I don't think Jess has written anything about inaccessibility here. Perhaps you should wait until she provides us with more information.
Perhaps, but usually structuring means that. I've discussed this subject with a few people and when they say structuring all of them mean inaccessibility.
I have a teacher who does things likes jumps around so one thing is not connected to another. That's what i would mean buy structuring the class or the teaching stile.
That's more of an organization thing, and a lot of the teachers do that, It's the whole scope with government schooling. They must cover everything. It's all about diversity.
organization is structure.
And inaccessibility isn't really structure-related. Accessibility has something more to do with the way a teacher chooses to teach or receive information, which is not structural. Accessibility isn't related to the way the curriculum is organized, but is related to how the teacher chooses to have the curriculum absorbed.
Fine, have it your way, I won't win anyways, that's all you want anyways, isn't it? Now, how do you feel? Remember though, a= a.
lol, looks like little Miss So-called Friendly Philosophical becomes a bit unfriendly when someone challenges her oh-so-perfect views and throws a big pity party. Maybe she's not as mature for her age as she thinks she is.
Jess, I agree with the majority of posters; we need a bit more info about just what issues you have with these teachers before we can give you the right advice.
Oh Rachel, I'm not trying to make an argument out of this, I'm just trying to make a point and help you and Jess understand it. There is no need to act so childish. This is not a game or contest, thus there is no objective or goal to win.
And I concur with Becky. lol
Well, you were so convinced your structure was not organization and structure doesn't have anything to do with inaccessibility argument that wasn't any point in arguing with you, because with that sort no one can debate with.
I'll point out once again, Jess that it's better to mess up your schedule then to deal with them. Find another teacher in another period and re do your schedule. It won'd you as much as did me as you aren't in those classes yet, and even if you were it's no big deal, all they got to do is move your seat and you'll be fine.
Rachel, we could go on for the rest of this board debating if you really wanted to, but that's not the point of the topic.
And I also say that depending on the problem, it might be better to face it or work through it than it is to run away and hide from it. It will make you stronger and will give you more knowledge on how to approach different types of people and situations.
agree wholeheartedly with Raven
Wow Rachel, is that what you do all the time? Throw away your whole schedule if you don't like a particular teacher? I agree with Raven here, it's better for you to face the teachers and learn how to work with them then run away, because seriously, in life, you're not always going to get all the teachers you like or want. If you're planning to go to college, and the classes that you have to take have the professors you don't want, are you just going to be like, oh screw it, I'm not going to take those classes at all, I'll take something else. That would be really stupid and cowardly. lol. Get a backbone and deal with your problems already. :D. Anyways, to each their own. But yeah Jess, you got to tell us more about what the structure of it you don't like.
You know what? every year, you're goign to run into at least one teacher who you do not like. however, you should never un away from your problems. Not everyone in life is just going to be nice and dandy, the way you want them to be. So its better to learn how to deal with those people now, then later. My past three years of highschool, I have had at least two teachers that have had something against me, and i've laughed and brushed it off. Just do the work, give it in, and you won't have to deal with them.
You never gave us your example about the, "Structure," but I do agree with Raven.
Work hard and don't change your schedule because you will have to deal with it again sooner or later.
