School issues

Hi guys, I kinda have a prayer request. My classes will resume in a few days and I'm a bit afraid to go because of my advisory teacher. You see, his moods are sort of unpredictable, and he's not really likable to the other teachers and students. He also seems to be keeping a grudge against some of my batchmates over some issues that we don't even know. I don't even know if I can call this guy a bully teacher, but his behavior is something that keeps me on my tiptoes. Any advice on this situation is greatly appreciated as well.

An advisory teacher is the teacher assigned to homeroom class.

Depeing on how much of the class he controls or what part of his job is, he could end up grading her lower just because, or other little things that can make a student's life miserable.

Mx does have a point, though- he's not actually the teacher, so if yiou feel that you're being targeted or have been getting grades that you don't deserve on assignments, bring it up with the actual teacher. If there's a general problem with him, though, get some of the other students together and complain to the school- or better yet, your parents. You're paying good money to go to a school, so why shouldn't you have supportive teachers and staff? I know that it sounds fairly idealistic, and that every school has it's problems, but that is one that can be fixed.

The thing to remember too with this individual is that he is human. For all you know he has things going on his life that are causing his mood (sick family member, mood disorder etc). Now that doesn't excuse his behavior in the least. I would recommend praying for him for one and for two, letting your regular teacher know if you feel things are being unfairly done.

God bless!

^ What Kunoichi said is true, there may be things going on in his life that are causing problems. I'm going to second her recommendation.

Coming together to complain might be a better idea if this has been happening for a year or two, or however long he's been there.
