There are certain things that teachers cannot stand from the students they are teaching. They may seem funny to the students they are teaching, however, it really does drive teachers crazy.
Students passing gas after lunch is one of history teacher Mark Kelting’s biggest pet peeves. “Or when students come back from being sick, come up to my desk, and cough all over everything,” he added. Like most teachers, “Students being unprepared,” is another big pet peeve.
Math teacher Bertine Bahige sees students in a different light. “I cannot stand bad attitudes. The eye rolling and the head shakes: all that attitude represents a sign of disrespect.” Bahige expects the same respect to him that he gives to his students. “What is really unfortunate is that many students don’t even realize they are doing it. They have done it for so long, it’s become natural.”
English teacher Donna Heib becomes frustrated when, “Students come to class unprepared.”
“One of my biggest pet peeves is when students write and draw on my board. DO NOT WRITE ON MY BOARD!” said history teacher Becky Buell.
There are so many things that make our teachers flinch; from being rude to being unprepared. Pet peeves are funny things, but remember to tread lightly around your teacher.

This is a well-written article, but I wish to add one thing. My biggest pet peeve towards TEACHERS is when a teacher refuses to acknowledge a student’s point as valid, in layterms, proving a teacher wrong. I admit, disproving a teacher must be done politely, but some incorrigible people out there tend to mar an otherwise noble profession.

I believe that Alex did a rather nice job writing this piece, and I al believe that if she would have wanted to put the STUDENT’S pet peeves in there she would have come to you, but that’s not what this article is about. Good job alex. [:
