My teacher seems to have it out for me. A few weeks back, I was caught doing my science homework during English class, and ever since then, she’s been giving me lower grades compared to the other students. How should I handle a situation where I feel a teacher is holding a grudge?

It sounds like you’re in a tough situation. Here are a few steps you can take to address it:
Reflect on the Situation: Think about whether her grading seems consistently unfair or if it might just feel that way after the incident. It’s important to approach this objectively.
Document Specific Instances: Keep track of your grades and any comments she makes on your assignments. If possible, compare them with those of your classmates to see if there’s a clear pattern.
Communicate Openly: Consider having a private conversation with your teacher. Approach her calmly and respectfully. You might say something like, “I’ve noticed that my grades seem lower than others’, and I wanted to discuss it to understand how I can improve.”
Seek Feedback: Ask for specific feedback on your work and what you can do to meet her expectations. This shows that you’re proactive and willing to learn.
Talk to a Counselor or Administrator: If you feel uncomfortable speaking directly to your teacher or if the situation doesn’t improve, consider reaching out to a school counselor or administrator for advice.
Stay Positive and Focused: Continue to work hard in class and demonstrate your commitment to your education. Maintaining a positive attitude can help you navigate through this.
Remember, it’s important to advocate for yourself while remaining respectful. Good luck!
