You know the type, they harass you within an inch of your life while they are in your class. You bend over backwards to help them and then because they didn't get the grade they wanted they report you as a bad teacher to your supervisor. This just happened to me. I can't say I am surprised really I almost expected this particular student to do this. The upshot of this mess is that my boss (I am a part-time community college instructor) is calling me today at 3 to discuss the matter. yuck. I will let you know it goes. But teachers have you ever had a student like this or I am just lucky?

Thanfully, no, but I teach at home privately so my groups are really small. I tend to think that less is more in that case. There will be another student like this in the future or ot, but remember it's not your fault! Good luck and let us know!

That must be nice. My boss was totally understanding and basically suggested some things that might help me avoid having such conflicts with students in the future.

Good to hear that. I knew your boss would understand, cause if she's your boss she used to or is a teacher herself. Good luck!

I had never meet have a student like this. I have teached several hundred students but never meet a student like him. I do my best to help them. They did not get their grade only because they did not study hard enough. It is their own fault. Good lucky to you.
