Is This Wrong?

That's a bit... Awful, actually.

 

Welcome to America. :/

Unfortunately, many teachers and fellow students will ignore you. Don't let it get to you, they're just blind and ignorant.

(*hug*)

 

WTF? I would be incredibly pissed off by that. A teacher who blanks students for whatever reason is not worthy or fit to be a teacher at all.

If his behaviour persists then I recommend you talk to a memeber or the staff about it.

 

Are you a perpetual hand raiser? l was that way in HS and finally the teacher would pick me but not without a sufficient eyeroll and exasperated sigh, beforehand.

l didn't come out. ln any case he sounds mean but we weren't there >.>

 

Thats ignorant and rude

 

If you're sure he's singling you out because of your sexuality, then I say raise hell and report him. How did other students react? I would have stood up and said "HE F*CKING SAID THAT."

Stay strong. Some of these stories from small, conservative towns break my heart. Please know that there are better places, and if this had happened there, that teacher would have been fired the same day.

 

I think I'll stay over here in Australia, thanks :icon_sad:

 

Often teachers want to engage students who don't often contribute, so if you typically answer a lot of questions in that class, your teacher might've been looking for contributions from other people. You can probably have a talk with your teacher about how being ignored didn't make you feel so good, but I wouldn't sweat it too much.

 

I don't see how that's pertinent to America, though.

 

Feel sorry for him, being a grown up man and acting like a two year old...

 

​

I wouldn't do that personally, you shouldn't give him any cannon fodder to actually justify his behaviour towards you.

 

Meh. Of course it's wrong to not even acknowledge you, but he might be doing it for other purposes.

As someone mentioned, some teachers ironically hate it when it's always one or two students that answer everything. My history teacher during secondary school wasn't a fan of me and I think he thought I was arrogant/a know it all. Same problem to a lesser degree in college with one of my English Language teachers.

But yeah if you participate loads, that might be the reason?

 

Yeah, I'll remain in the UK, ta.

It's awkward but yeah, that's completely unacceptable from someone who's meant to be a role model

 

You need to inform a councelor about this because your teacher may do more than that! He could ruin your grade!!

 

And your not gonna do anything about it? :O

 

I'd definitely be going to the administration about that teacher.
