Since we're reading Nothing But The Truth, which involves a boy who doesn't get along with a teacher, I want you to consider teacher-student relationships you've had in the past. Have you had teachers that you just got along with whether or not you did well in their class? Have you had teachers whose personality just didn't mesh with yours? Without naming names, expound upon these ideas and thoughtfully consider how personality differences or similarities have affected you in your classes.
Yeah there are definitely teachers that I like more and have a better relationship with usually cause there more friendly and they go beyond just teaching you the material but they get to know you. This is especially true like in grade school because yo have the same teacher all day and your a little kid and they just want to help. I remember my kindergarten teacher was really nice and every time I saw him I gave him a big hug. I don't even remember his name but you know I was so little. In high school it's different but there still are some teachers who I like better and are personality's mesh better. I've never really had a huge problem with a teacher but secretly I've really hated some teachers. I try to appear interested and nice but really inside I could care less about them. That does seem unfair though because I don't really know them as a person so I try to keep an open mind. I think the class subject also helps because I'm more interested in it so me and the teacher have something in common. Usually if I like the teacher and they like me I get a better grade because if I don't do my work I'm not just letting my teacher down but I'm letting a friend down who expects more from me. I usually learn more to because I'm not afraid to ask questions and get more information instead of in a stiff learning atmosphere where I'm afraid I'll say something stupid.
