Does My Teacher Hate Me? - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

“Why is my teacher always picking on ME?”

Cole is convinced Mrs. Carr has a problem with him.

She tells him to stop talking.
She asks him to sit down.
She redirects him when he ignores directions.

And every time she does, Cole hears something she never actually said: “I don’t like you.”

So Cole does what a lot of kids do when correction feels embarrassing—he argues, mumbles under his breath, refuses to cooperate, and tries to save face in front of his classmates.

But then Cole notices something he wasn't expecting..Mrs. Carr corrects everybody....

The student calling out.
The student sharpening a pencil during instruction.
The student distracting others.

Because Mrs. Carr is not responsible for making just one student happy. She is responsible for giving EVERY student a chance to learn.

With some straight-to-the-point wisdom from Pop Pop, Cole begins to understand the difference between being rejected and being redirected, and that changes everything.

Does My Teacher Hate Me? is a relatable, conversation-starting picture book that helps children understand that correction does not automatically mean an adult dislikes them. Sometimes correction simply means...

You made a choice that needs to change.

Perfect for elementary classrooms, school counselors, PBIS lessons, SEL instruction, morning meetings, behavior intervention, and parent-child conversations, this story helps children explore:

• Accepting correction without arguing or shutting down
• Separating “I made a poor choice” from “I am a bad kid”
• Handling embarrassment in front of peers
• Taking responsibility for behavior
• Understanding classroom fairness
• Recognizing how individual choices affect everyone’s learning
• Responding to redirection respectfully
• Moving forward after making a mistake

Most importantly, Cole discovers a lesson children can carry far beyond the classroom:

Correction isn't rejection... it's direction.

Because sometimes when an adult asks you to do better, it's because they believe you can.
