When a Student Says, “I Don’t Like Your Class” 💔

It’s one of the worst feelings in teaching 😣. A student says, “This class is boring,” or “I don’t like your class.” Ouch. That can hit you right in the heart.

Here’s what to do next 👇

1) Don’t React 🧊

Some students want a big reaction. They might be “rage baiting” 😤—trying to push your buttons. So stay calm. Take a breath 😮‍💨. Keep teaching like normal.

2) Reflect After Class 🪞

Later, ask yourself: Why did they say that?
There might be truth in it 🤔.

• Maybe the topic is boring to them 📚

• Maybe the lesson style didn’t match how they learn 🧠

• Maybe the student is having a rough day 🌧️

3) Look for a Pattern 🔎

If it’s just one student, it’s usually about them, not you.
But if many students say it, it’s a clue 🧩. You might need to adjust:

✅ Add more choices
✅ Mix up activities (discussion 💬, video 🎥, reading 📖, games 🎲)
✅ Try a quick student survey 📝

Final Thought 🌟

Don’t beat yourself up. Teaching is a process.
Stay calm, reflect, and improve a little at a time 🌱
