Dealing with a challenging teacher can be really tough, especially when your patience is running thin. I’ve been there myself—feeling the frustration build up until it feels almost impossible to stay calm. One thing I found helpful was not letting the irritation take over completely. Taking a few deep breaths and stepping back for a moment can make a difference in how you react. I also started to focus on the bigger picture—why I’m in class and what my goals are. Sometimes, reminding myself that the teacher is there to help, even if the style or approach isn’t what I prefer, helped me shift my mindset. It’s also okay to seek support from classmates or talk things out with friends who understand your struggles. Using online tools like CapCut to creatively express how close you feel to 'dropkicking' your reading teacher (as funny as that sounds) is a way to vent without causing problems. Just remember, there are healthier ways to handle the pressure. Setting small, achievable goals in reading and acknowledging your progress can build confidence, making those tough classes feel a bit easier for everyone involved.
