Has your teacher ever called you out?

[Elegance]

i remember in gcse art my the head of art once came into our classroom and looked in everyone's sketchbooks then when he got to my desk he lifted it up so everyone could see, flicked through every single page for everyone and started comparing everyone's work to mine telling them how they should follow my example :rolleyes: but my current french teacher won't stop calling me out for all of the slightest things i do wrong and it's so annoying when they're calling you out in attempt to humiliate you

In high school the teachers would call me out as an example of a good student especially in year 11 maths because it was the easiest maths so everyone didn't really want to be there but I was the best. And I was often that kid who sat up the front of the class and if someone was disruptive the teacher would threaten them with being moved up the front with me.

In grade 6 though my teacher used to always tell me off for my poor presentation skills for assignments and stuff. A couple of times she held up my assignment in front of everyone and commented on how it wasn't presented as nicely as others which made me so self-conscious.

I don't get why teachers do that, it does not help a student improve to humiliate him in front of the class room, that just leads to bullying and a low self steam of the student also this will create a lack of interest into that class. If you want your students to improve his/her work, then you need to talk alone with him, explain what he did wrong, what can be improved and suggest ways to do so. Then follow his work to see the improvement.

Err I can only think of a really recent example when my philos teacher asked if she could read out my essay in front of the whole class as it was the best one but yeah i wasn't really phased about that.

I find it annoying when teachers like focus on a particular student to answer 1 question even if they say they don't know the answer - if they say they don't know twice, then genuinely don't know and it's very unfair to keep making an example of them over the same question they have clearly not got the answer to.

I can only think of a substitute teacher in year 8 I believe. She left her bag in another room, and she came up to me and asked me to get it because I was a "good boy". Shortly before this she was accused of hitting a student so maybe that was somehow related.

If you keep getting called out, you're clearly disturbing their lesson. Not being done to humiliate you.

not really lol

when I was 7, I had a spelling test and got this one wrong and then also got it wrong in the retest so she called me out in front of the whole class and embarrassed me. She hadnt bothered checking my spelling book and the reason I kept getting it wrong was because I had copied it down wrong in the first place. My mum and other parents complained and she was let go!!

Then my gcse history teacher made a whole drama for me not having my gcse cw in when I had just lost like 3 grandparents within weeks. He knew this as well. I walked out!!

never really been called out to be honest
I've been lucky enough to have had nice teachers and I'm really shy so my mum tells them to leave me alone on parents' evening and stuff

so yeah they just let me sit at the back, they'd just ask me a question every now and then but other than that they leave me to it really

Call me old but I have no idea if "Has your teacher ever called you out?" is positive or negative. Made an example of in class because you were naughty? or the class being told that you're the greatest because you work hard or something?

Initially I thought it was about fighting lol - calling me out bro!

A literature teacher, the second day of class, asked a question about Hamlet. I raised my hand and answered. She said, "No, didn't you real the book? Are you dumb?"

Someone else raised their hand and said the exact thing and got praised for answering correctly.

It wasn't just my interpretation of it, either; multiple people came to me after class and told me that she was way out of line and that it was really weird that she already hated me.
