Q&A for How to Get On Your Teacher's Good Side

Because it is very unlikely that your teacher will accept it, and if you teacher doesn't accept it, you might get into deep trouble. Plus, it's not the right thing to do.

Get a tutor and/or try to organize a study group with your classmates. If you know another teacher that teaches that subject, you could also ask them for help. The internet can be a good resource as well if you need to learn more about a subject, just make sure you're looking at reputable sites.

That means he/she really likes you, and that's great, especially if they're strict. Keep up the good work.

Everybody makes mistakes/misses a day here and there, and your teacher should understand that. If you didn't already, explain to him/her why you had to miss the test and apologize for it (even if it wasn't your fault). Tell them you'll do your best to make sure you don't miss anything important again in the future. He/she will most likely forget about this pretty quickly.

Just pretend like nothing happened. If someone teases you, try to laugh alone with them. But otherwise, don't bring it up.

Just remain polite, do your homework and pay attention in class. You can't change your teacher's behavior, but you can make sure you are being a good student.

Try anyway. Approach them before or after class when you can have their full attention and let them know what you need to talk about. If you're a little scared of the teacher, that's okay, just take a deep breath and do it. They'll be glad that you spoke up when you needed something and happy to help you.

Not everyone will like you, and that's okay. Just try your best and your teacher should be relatively happy. Use the steps in the article anyway, there's always a chance they will change their mind. If you feel like the teacher is mistreating you because they don't like you, then you should talk to the principal or tell your parents.

Speak to them about it and apologize. Don’t be afraid, they are all human. Just be polite and explain, no one is perfect.

If you haven't already, apologize, and tell them that whatever happened will never happen again. Promise to work hard to earn back their trust. That is really all you can do. Be patient, they will most likely come around and trust you again.

Calmly tell your teacher the truth about what you were doing. If you were doing something you weren't supposed to be doing, apologize (even if you had a good reason, it's better to just say you're sorry). If she doesn't believe you, don't push the issue. If you argue, she'll be even angrier.

Be polite, help out in class whenever you can, and participate in class discussions. Be the first to raise your hand if the teacher asks for a volunteer. Also, if your teacher is looking for an aide, make sure he/she knows you're interested in the job!

It means that the teacher isn't to blame for whatever situation is being described; the teacher did all he could.

Maybe because your name is not familiar to her/him, so help them to remember. He/she will probably remember your name in the middle of the year. He/she might forget a lot if you are in middle school or higher because of how there are a lot of teaching periods and a lot of people. Be understanding, some people have trouble remembering names; you could always wear a name badge in that class.

They'll probably forget about it pretty soon, especially if it's a small assignment. And also, don't plagiarize again!

Work hard and do your work on time. Try not to be impolite. Just follow the steps in the article.

Follow the steps in the article. if you feel like the teacher's targeting you, talk to the principal, a counselor, your parents, or another adult you trust.

If your teacher is "roasting" you to be funny, laugh with the rest of the class. This shows that you are confident enough in yourself that you can laugh at yourself, but not arrogant enough to try and save your pride. Generally, try to keep a good attitude so your teacher will associate you with positivity.

Make her aware of you by putting yourself out there. Ask a lot of questions and he/she will definitely start to notice you. Stay after class and talk to him/her about the lesson when possible.
