Students go through stress on an almost regular basis because of their grades and upcoming tests. Most teachers throw quizzes at their students without informing the student the day before. This is causing many students to stress out and do worse than they should. Teachers should be like Mrs. Michele Doyle and go over everything that is on a test before handing it out which helps many of the students and gets them ready for the test.
Students feel pressured and start stressing, mainly near the end of the quarter, because report cards are coming out and they are having trouble getting their grades up— but the teacher doesn’t hand out extra credit. Many teachers help the students out by accepting late work and assisting the student out if they ask for help. Other teachers like Laura Mercado help students by giving them a chance to retake a test if they get a really bad grade; she will also give extra credit after a test. This extra credit helps many students out and gets their grades up fast. Many students will do the extra credit and that extra credit would help many students out. Stress is one of the things that causes students to fail classes and to do poorly on tests. These are two of the many teachers that try to help students so they have a chance to pass and avoid stress. High school is supposed to get kids ready for college, but colleges look back at high school grades and if you get poor grades in high school then you will have less of a chance to get into a good college.
These teachers are not only relieving stress but are helping those who have trouble learning in class. These teachers have helped me and many other students understand the field they are teaching us. Many teachers will also stay in after school and try to help students out with their work if they ask for help. Teachers like Austin Mayo will help students with problems they don’t understand and walk them through the problem. Mr. Mayo will also give the students extra time if they ask for it and they all need it.
It is also possible to get one of those teachers who doesn’t like you and will not help you out. These teachers will not assist you with your work and will automatically blame you for random things. These teachers would think you are like your parents and the teacher would jump to conclusions and will not listen to you nor even help you. These kind of teachers would be a big cause of why you would have trouble finding a college that will accept you and will make you feel negative about yourself.
Stress has caused many students to fail. Some of them can’t stop stressing out, mainly because of their grades. Teachers like Mrs. Doyle, Mr. Mayo, or Mrs. Mercado will try their best to help the students out and will do their job and try to relieve as much of the student’s stress as possible. Teachers need to help and support students and their grades because teachers may not notice but they are putting more weight on students’ shoulders than they think. Teachers could learn a thing or two from Mrs. Doyle, Mr. Mayo, and Mrs. Mercado. Other teachers like these three teachers should understand how it feels to have all this pressure on you and the teacher should try to help out as much as possible.
