So this may seem odd, being that i am studying to be a teacher, but sometimes i really wonder if this is what i want to do. In recent times i have had some teachers whom i feel are only in the profession to belittle their students. I seriously think taht some teachers get off on making their students miserable. I am in seminar now which is a senior class, the hardest class that you have to take in college. It is a class taht you spend all year writing a paper for and then you present it. Anyway, this class is going well for me, the problem is my other class. the teacher is a straight up D**k head. i seriously think he gets off on making students upset and failing them. I am not failing right now but i do have a D in the class. i turned in an assignment and i recieved a 50 out of 100, in a class where this is the big project that seriously affectd my grade. The problem is, i did the assignment according to the directions, but my teacher felt that i did not do it to his standards, so 50 out of 100, which drops my grade in the class from a C+ to a low D. Now i am in a giant whole where i pretty much have to get a perfect here on out to even get a high C. This is not the only complaint, i email him an assignment on a friday, it is not due until monday. When he tries to open it on Monday it will not open so he docks points for it being late, he should have checked it on friday when i sent it to him and told me beforehand so i wouldnt have a late paper. i am in a bad mood because now he cant seem to find part of an assignment i turned in to him, i bet i will end up failing it too. things are out of my hands in this class, i am not the type of student to just blow things off either. i have made deans list for the last couple semesters and want to keep it taht way, but no anymore, its impossible for me to make it this semster because of this one class. Im worried and tired and sick of teachers! i dont know what to do, because i also work as one of the teachers aides for this professor, so it not only affects my school work but my job as well. i have tried to talk to him about it and he just blows my opinoins off, all i want is a fair chance but he doesnt want to give me one.What should i do?

This post of yours is very interesting. I have no "easy button" solution either. I encounter the same personalty types in my life all the time. What I do is deal with each case as best that I can according to the times and circumstances. I feel that there are many teachers that are warm, knowledgeable, nurturing, and professional. Like you, I see a lot of teachers that are "*&$% dickheads" with severe personality disorders, for sure. Many more are worse - being criminals is disguise. Hey, deal with it, Ashley, as best that you can. Expect no change in your lifetine. Celebrate those that help us breath fresh air and really do make a difference in the world.
