Elise, I too want to commend you on your behavior in this unfortunate situation. I disagree TOTALLY with the people who are saying you should confront the teacher, make a scene, go to the administrator, etc. That would have only made a bad situation worse. Have you ever lost anything? Remember that teachers are human too. Since you had no proof of turning it in, or even if you did, there really was no option but for you to do it again. Find some joy in knowing that you will always remember the info in the packet and that may benefit you someday in the future.
I hope your parents are extremely proud of you. They should be!!!!
I think that what she did is wrong but there is nothing you can do about it. Just try and maintain that teacher to student relationship and if she asks you to redo any work, do it without any attitude.
That was wrong. But i guess you can just hope it doesn't happen again..
(Personally, I would be making a HUGE issue over not-graded work I already turned in. That's work that SHE lost, and it's effecting you, not her.)
Sh*t I would have started yelling at that teacher and no she should take blame for what she did since she lost it but then again all teachers do that.
so happy I don't have to deal with teachers BS anymore :D
In life,like anything else in life,you can only play the cards you are dealt! Complaining about the situation won't help,do the best you can and move on,I know that's not the answer you wanted,but that's the way things go in life,or school, or anything else that crosses your path,,do the best and move on! I hope this helped,even just a teeny little bit,if it's not any help,I'm sorry it didn't help,I'm just doing the best I can
Based on the context of your question, the teacher seems to be at fault here. It would be wise to involve your parents, and they would be wise to contact school authorities to get to the bottom of it. Under no circumstances would it be advisable for you to confront the teacher. Simply asking why would be an innocent act, but could be construed as an attack by one that has made a mistake, and wishes it to go unnoticed.
Good luck.
Definitely sounds unfair but it's hard to prove at this point. Just make sure the next time work is due, that you turn it in with another student or teacher witnessing it. That way you have someone that can speak up for you.
this happens a lot
what if someone,
one of your class mates,
took your packet
copied it
turned in their
copied packet
then they threw your packet away.?Is this scene possible.? next time make sure your teacher sees you hand in your work. never hand in things with out your teacher there.
(Also, what is a packet when referring to school work? I'm from Australia and we don't have packets of work here...)
Sounds like u need to keep a log book:date&time I've turned in each assignment from now on...;(...u could also prank her every now&then...lol
No she isn't being reasonable, however you need to take it on the chin and get over it, trust me, making a fuss over it will only make you enemies, and it wont prove or fix anything. I know it's unfair, but such is life i'm afraid. Good luck with the rest of your studies. :)
Not many students are like you. You are a very unique individual. Some teachers are jealous of high achievers and students with more potential than the teacher will ever have in their lifetime. Whenever people wrongly accuse you of something you failed to do but you know they are making a mistake, use this opportunity for a blessing and not curse. Remember that they are preparing you for the real world.
I'm impressed at how mature you are about this but I don't think what she did was right in anyway maybe you should tell the princibal and she might talk to your teacher. But as long as you know that you did the right thing and that you turned in the work then you shouldn't be upset with yourself instead you should be proud :D
I agree with mcx8xu that you should involve your parents. Let them know what happened and ask them to talk to the teacher so that your grade doesn't suffer for "being late" according to her. Don't take this personally and don't get upset at the teacher, just have your parents calmly hold the teacher accountable. I'm sure your parents can vouch for you that you had completed this assignment on time as well. Yes the teacher is human, but she should take responsibility for her actions if she lost the assignment. She should lead by example. Keep up the hard work it will take you far in life and never be intimidated about doing what is right. A quote: "You can never be wrong when you do what is right, but you can never be right when you do what is wrong."
elise. I agree with you. If you are a good student, and suddenly not turning in your work, she should have asked you at that time. Teachers aren't perfect. The next time you hand in an assignment, put it in the teacher's hand or on the desk in front of them. Put your mind at ease and let it go. Unless this teacher is a constant problem, just grit your teeth. It's almost summer and school will be out!
Get evidence. When turning in large assignments for this class make sure that you have some type of physical proof that you have done this assignment. Take pictures of it if you have to! If this happens again then don't confront the teacher but someone higher up. Bring the proof with you and They will make sure you don't have to redo it. If you want something less dramatic you could scan it onto your computer and email it to her if she loses it.
i am a teacher and i ALWAYS give my students the benefit of the doubt but thats just me... however..its a situation of he said she said which sux! i'm sorry that this happened to u.. :( some advice start making copies of all ur work u turn in and keep it! i have learned to do this for myself through my high school and college yrs becuz that has happened to me sooo many times! that way u have proof u did it.. also when u turn in ur work make sure u hand it directly to ur teacher urself! good luck!
