If you find that your teacher is unfair to you,think about what is happening.Try to find out whether your teacher really dislikes you,or whether something else is going on.Here are some questions to ask yourself:
1.Ask your classmates if they are having trouble with the teacher,too.If they say yes,perhaps your teacher is to blame.
Are you working up to your ability?Maybe you got a C in your last test,and your teacher told you that you could do better.2.But the teacher didn't say anything to him!Isn't this unfair?Well,it could be that your teacher knows that you could do better if you put more effort into it.3.
Are you more sensitive than other students?4.However,if you react to criticism quite differently from others, this could be a reason why you think your teacher doesn't like you.
Does your teacher seem to act unfairly all the time,or just once in a while?Think about the harsh（苛刻的）things your teacher has done to you.5.If your teacher really hates you,you would probably be picked on all the time.If your teacher has acted unfairly only a few times,then there's probably something else going on.
A.Are you interested in your lessons?
B.And the kid sitting beside you got a C,too.
C.There's nothing wrong with being sensitive.
D.Are you getting along well with your classmates?
E.Teachers often grade students by different standards.
F.Are you the only person being treated badly?What about others?
G.Are these things happening every day,or just once or twice a month?
