Ever had a student so obviously hate you that it's distracting during lecture?
Generally, my students like me and tolerate my class. Every now and then, I encounter a student who doesn't mesh with me and my teaching style. I currently have a precious, little snowflake who doesn't like my class. He pouts. He glares. He clearly can't stand my very presence in the classroom.
What to do?
At first the evil looks gave me pause. Now I just smile sweetly and move through the lecture. Until it distracts someone else other than me, I'm not going to say anything. You can't reach every student, and there will always be ones who don't like you. All I can do is hope the snowflakes don't band together and create a classroom avalanche.
