I'm in the eight grade and I'm thirteen years old. I hate my algebra 1 teacher ALOT!!!! Shes evil err don't get me started point is I hate her and when I call some one sir or miss I do it out of respect for the person and respect is the farthest thing I have for her. Do I have to address her as Ms.Byerly or can I just call her by her first name. Are school is really strict and we have to wear uniforms but if I tell the principal I don't want to can he legally make me considering I don't really have any constitutional rights just child protective laws. But then again it is a public school and citizens are paying for it with taxes so we shouldn't be forced to call some one that when she doesn't call me Miss *don't give out last name on internet* she just calls me Lora why can't I just call her Christian?<br />Well I have plenty reason to not have respect for her. A Hispanic boy would call me a cracker and other names making fun of me being white. And one day in class this teacher wouldn't allow me to take a quiz even though I was absent and I told her that wasn't fair and this same guys said (and I quote) "shut up Lora, your so annoying" and the teacher laughed and said "you should take your classmates advice they obviously don't like you" and I went back to my seat and cried. My fathers having a meeting with her Wednesday because this is the only problem but say that I have to respect some one because of how old they are is so idiotic. I respect a person for who they are not how long they've been alive. Does that mean I have to respect Hitler? Hes older then me. And you said be 'perfect' will A.) I've already tried being really nice to her and it didn't help and B.) I shouldn't have to whore myself out to some one who is being paid to teach me and I didn't say I pay taxes, my father does<br />Why can't you people answer a simple question? Do I legal have to call my teacher Miss if I'm in a public school and it interferes with my moral beliefs that the title is given to those whom I respect. Instead of annoying the heck out of me can you shut up about me being to young and answer the question because you don't know me at all. I live with my dad and brother. My dad is a truck driver and is home 1 or 2 days a week I cook and clean for my brother and I don't even have a room I sleep in the living room. I have no other family. And my best friend tried to kill her self 3 times. A week ago my other friend tried to hang herself. I'm bi-sexual and my brother hates me because of it. I don't have a mom and I take care of my self and do my home work and I'm in all honors classes with all A and one F in this stupid algebra class so don't tell me to grow and and that I have no real problems I have more stuff to deal with then some adults!<br />

because she is older, no matter how stupid we adults may seem, you should respect us

You are not necessarily showing respect to HER you are showing respect to the position of TEACHER. So call her Miss and in your mind you think of all the good teachers out there who have helped many children learn and grow.

Dealing with someone you don't like in a civil and effective manner is a valuable life lesson for you to learn.

Your parents should make you call all adults Mr. and Miss. Those words along with yes sir/ma'am or no sir/ma'am will carry you a long way in the future. You should just do what you have to do and stay out of trouble until your grown. Then you can call people what you want.

Snap your fingers an point. That will be easier.

Wow, that kinda reminds me when I was in the military. I'm assuming that you go to a private school or a no tolerance school, in that case you don't have to call her miss but you'll still have to do as she says. If you're in a military school then yes because more then likely you'll have a NCO or an officer as a teacher because that is military customs and courtesies. The best thing is to get a copy of their bylaws, and customs and courties.

when i was your age i thought i actually thought i had a chance at beating them too. just realize that you will never win because you're not an adult and they don't care what you think. the best policy is to just tough it out until college where people don't care what you do.

i understand that your position is completely logical and i don't think its immature, but just know that they always get their way and you end up paying the consequences, not them.

however even if she is a b1tch remember that she did go to college and gets payed next to nothing to teach the worst subject in the world to middle schoolers. id say she at least deserves a respectful title
