Ok so last Thursday I went to see my Careers Teacher who i despise but i can be ever so fake and nice when i want to be so i knocked on her door before i went in a smiled really sweetly and said can i have a Work Experience form please (for those who dont know if you want to do work exp at school you have to get a form in which you fill out the details and they send it off to check its ok to go to) and she asked what for. i replied so i can do work experience
she tutted and sighed at me and said it would take 6-8 weeks to sort out, to which i replied no? i done it last time...
she then cut me off and said in Year 10 the forms had to be in by a certain date so they could be checked out
i replied finishing my sentence sayin i done it last time, handed my form in and went the week later
this convo carried on for a while with her sayin it would take 6-8 weeks and me saying but last time i went it was done quickly and i know where i wanted to go and it was totally safe as my friend had done her work experience there
she then flung herself into her chair and shouted at me 'for goodness sake' i was genuinely shocked by this and was taken aback
she then got up and shoved the form into my hand and walked to the other side of the class saying i could have it but there was no point
i got a bit hot headed at the 'for goodness sake' shout and my tone changed and got a little bit annoyed at her asking why she wasnt listening to me
she said she didnt care much for my attititude
so i replied with 'what about you there shouting at me for goodness sake when ive done nothing wrong'
she then done a angry sigh and turned her back to me and totally ignored me

so i went to school today to complain about her and found out shes already done it about me
i am so angry about this as she has obv made me out to be the bad person except i only acted like that cos i was provoked and i am totally fightin my case that if it was a member of staff that had went in and asked she wouldnt of dared speak to them like that

what has also annoyed me is that she seems to really not like me. when i done work exp last year i handed my form in the same day as my friend, my friend asked her the next week if she had sent it off so she could go and she said yes, i asked and she said no, this continued for a couple of weeks until my mum actually had to ring up and ask her to do it as she was taking the p*ss really

so now i have to go and say SORRY TO HER aswell as her say sorry to me which has really annoyed me as i think i have done nothing wrong except stand up for myself and act in my defense. and why was she being so immature about it and refusing me the form instead of meeting me halfway and being civil and sayin i can have the form but it might take 6-8 weeks to sort out so dont expect anything

sorry for the looong post but i would appreciate your comments

Maybe she didn't like the manner in which you spoke to her ..."I done it before", I mean that doesn't really make sense. Did she fully understand you? While I was reading your post I didn't totally understand what you meant either so maybe she just misunderstood you and lost her cool. I would try and talk to her as an adult and level with her i.e. don't use any lingo that she can't understand. Nevertheless, she shouldn't have yelled like that but maybe you turned her off from the beginning with an attitude or language she couldn't comprehend. I see you are from the U.K., is she from somewhere else? Could there have been a language barrier?

I think you need to go and ask to speak to the principal whoever is in charge and ask that you speak one on one with them and tell them exactly what went on and say that this has happened more time than not.

Also you will have to realize that all schools will side on the teacher, so you need to tell the principal that you don't feel its necessary to apologize except for loosing your temper. And at this point I do think it may be time to get your parents involved - very rarely do I suggest this as you're a big girl you can handle this yourself but at the same time, the school will be a lot more willing to listen if the parents do get involved.
