Don’t Burn Bridges with Teachers!

Be careful what you say it may come back to hurt you.

I was hanging out in a teacher’s office today when she was talking to another teacher about how apparently she offended a student and she had this other teacher read an email that she had received from a student.

I’m not sure exactly what the email said, but just that it was a student complaining about how they feel like they shouldn’t have to do a certain assignment because of another class. First off this class has one assignment in it and it is one of the simplest classes this school has to offer. Second, this email was horrendous there were a ton of parts that didn’t make sense and contradicted itself.

It’s safe to say that this student burned the bridge with this teacher. This teacher is one of the greatest teachers that this campus has to offer.

My advice to you, if you’re going to complain to a teacher DON’T! Go talk it out with the teacher (and I mean talk, do not yell at the teacher). I’m sure you can come to some sort of agreement. Don’t hide behind an email. When writing emails, texts, or letters it is always hard to tell if someone is seriously or not and the email can be taken poorly.

Talk to your teachers, they’re there to help you. Don’t complain to them in an email, go to their office and talk it out with them.
