If You Are Not Satisfied With the Teacher You Were Assigned to At Your School, You Have The Following Options:

---You might have the option of requesting a transfer to another instructor at the same school.

---You could make a list of ANY and ALL aspects of your teacher's performance in the classroom that you regard as admirable. That would remind you that your teacher may not be the worst teacher you have ever had.

---Ask yourself whether you actually dislike the subject matter of the class you agreed to take, and whether your evaluation of your instructor is adversely affected by your dislike of the subject of that course. If that is the case, conceivably ANY instructor teaching you that particular subject in a classroom would trigger the same dissatisfaction from you.

---Ask yourself whether you yourself are diligently doing all of your homework for the class. If you are not doing your assigned homework, possibly you resent the instructor for calling your attention to your own inadequate preparation for that academic course that you agreed in advance to register for.

----Ask yourself whether your teacher possibly reminds you of or resembles some relative of yours or former acquaintance or former coworker of yours whom you have had ocnflicts with or rejected from your own life.
If so, that unfavorable impression of yours about a cited relative or former acquaintance of yours might be interfering with your ability to fairly evaluate your teacher ---a trained educator who is interacting with you solely in a professional context as your assigned classroom instructor.

----You could ask the teacher you dislike to meet with you in the classroom for a few minutes after a class session. That one-to-one polite conversation with your instructor might help you to develop a better rapport with himself. And that improved rapport with your instructor, in turn, could help you to develop a more favorable overall outlook toward your teacher during future class sessions.

---You could ask your teacher or a staff member of your school to share with you a biographical profile of that instructor, such as from a resume or a school-sponsored pamphlet. That information might help you to better understand the career-related and personaL background of your instructor, and might help you to better appreciate the humanity of your instructor as an individual.

----You could attempt to discreetly find out about your instructor's favorite hobbies or pastimes. That information might also help you to better appreciate the humanity of your instructor, even if he strikes you as being rather aloof and severe inside the classroom. "So he actually bakes homemade bread during his leisuretime, which suggests to me that he isn't the ogre I thought he was," you may note to yourself.

---Ask yourself whether your evaluation of your instructor is influenced in any way by any possible unjustifiable prejudice or unjustifiable antipathy of your own. For instance, are you repulsed by the "Deep South" accent or by the New York Bronx Neighborhood accent?
If so, your own ability as a student to fully appreciate any instructor with a Deep South accent or New York Bronx Neighborhood accent could be undermined because of that irrational prejudice of yours. Briefly pretend your instructor were giving you the very same classroom presentation with an accent that you delight in listening to, such as a rich British accent or a refined Massachusetts-style aristocratic Bostonian accent. If his accent and locution were different, might you have been possibly delighted by the very same instructor that you have complained about?

---Is it possible you don't like the way your instructor dresses, and you are rating his classroom performance "unsatisfactory" partly because you personally believe that he would never appear in a photograph as a cover boy for "Gentleman's Quarterly" magazine or she would never appear in a photograph as a cover girl for "Glamour" magazine?

---You could jot down notes to yourself about what you specifically dislike the most about your teacher's job performance. You could then discuss that list with your parents inside your family home. Possibly your parents would offer you insights or empathetic comments that help you to be more understanding about your teacher's cited weaknesses as an instructor.

---You could ask one or both of your parents to schedule a parent-teacher meeting with that instructor. You could then ask your parents to discuss with your teacher concerns you yourself have had about that instructor's job performance. Your parents could then report back to you what the teacher had told them during that parent-teacher meeting.

---You could discuss your concerns about the teacher with other students in your class. Possibly those students might offer observations about the teacher that would be helpful to you in your outlook toward that instructor.

----You could attempt to read previous students' written evaluations of that same instructor from prior academic years or semesters. Many colleges and universities do keep on file those types of student-written evaluations of teachers inside a library of that campus. Those written evaluations by other students might offer you a fresh perspective on that instructor, which could enhance your ability to appreciate your instructor.

---You could attempt to identify schoolmates of yours who earned a good report card grade from that instructor during a prior semester or a recent prior schoolyear. Possibly those schoolmates of yours would offer you insights on how to develop a better rapport with the teacher whom you yourself dislike.

----You could attempt to identify which of the other students (if any) in your current class with that instructor, are actually themselves pleased with that instructor's teaching performance. You could then make a point of asking students who are happy with the teacher's performance what they like the most about that teacher's conduct in the classroom. That information could be helpful to you.

---Keep in mind that your relationship with your teacher is limited to the classroom. Unless you are a member of a student organization for which your teacher is a faculty adviser or sponsor, you are NOT required or expected to ever associate with your teacher away from the school campus. That information should help to reassure you about the limits of your teacher's involvement in your own life.

---You need to ask yourself whether your dissatisfaction with your teacher's style of teaching is partly influenced by your own perception that your teacher is physically repulsive to you. If so, possibly you can improve your morale as a student by noting the occasions each class session when your instructor is the LEAST physically repulsive to you. That information could boost your morale as a student in the class, such as if you imagine your instructor with a rare kindly smile on his face that he generally does not present to your class.

You might also keep in mind that if your teacher is physically repulsive to you, possibly that teacher sustained an injury, such as from a car accident, that partly accounts for their being significantly unpleasant to look at inside the classroom. Another possibility is that your teacher is significantly older than average, and you are repulsed by the wrinkles on their face or their baldness, for instance. If so, keep in mind that it is impressive that that educator is still alive at their age, when many educators never reach that age in order to then have the luxury of their being perceived by their students as very repulsive.

---You could schedule an appointment to speak with the immediate supervisor of your teacher. That supervisor, such as a department chairman, might offer you information about your teacher that will help you to better understand your teacher and what motivates that individual as the instructor in your class. For instance, the department chairman might volunteer to you that your teacher recently underwent medical surgery and is recovering from that surgery.
