I'm sure that all of these teachers have nothing better to do than single out specific students to dislike for no particular reason at all....
Showing work: Teachers can't be sure you actually did the work or just copied it if you don't have the problems worked out on the page. This is called being a good teacher, and this person cares about their job, and your future, even if you are too narrow minded, and short sighted to see this.
Everyone thinks that everything the learn in school is so useless, but it's almost laughable to me looking back. Up through high school (And most colleges) are basically just Primer's for the main event that is to come. In high school, they force you to do things within certain parameters because it teaches basic skills and disciplines needed to survive in the real world.
Want to know why teachers don't like certain students? It's because they see what is in store for them after years of experience, and know who is going to make a contribution to the world, and who is going to be one more car clogging the streets during the daily commute.
When a teacher doesn't hound the lazy, undisciplined, disruptive students, that is the person to worry about, because they do not have your best interest in mind, all that person wants is to get a paycheck, and retire as soon as possible.
