Teacher doesn’t like us

Dear Auntie Betty, I am in junior high school Form Two but my mates and I are not happy in class because one of our teachers is not being fair to us.

Whenever this particular teacher comes to class he insults us for no reason. Any little thing  we do attracts so much insult which is affecting us.

Most of my mates have given up because they think that nothing good can come from the class. We don’t know what to do. Should we report him?

Ann, Accra.


Dear Ann, I don’t think your teacher hates you and wants you to fail in your exam. He will be happy and proud if your school gets 100 per cent in the BECE and you all get your choices of school.

However, he might not be using the right approach in order to get you to study. If you have a school counsellor, you can inform him or her about it so your teacher can be talked to.

I believe if he is spoken to, he will change his attitude towards you so you can have some peace of mind to study. But do not give up; study hard instead and surprise your teacher.
