If a student said she thought you were the worst teacher she ever had, what would you say?

"I'd acknowledge the way that they feel and ask them why they feel that way. I'd listen carefully to what they have to say because it'll give me a clue about how they want to be treated and taught. Beyond that conversation, I'd look for ways to be intentional about building a positive relationship with the student. I might ask them to lead an activity or offer them positive praise in front of the class."
