What I do not understand is that you say at first that your post is based on a few teachers but it comes off as if you are talking about everyone. Sorry if people call it out like they are see it.
As for the 2nd grader comment, you have to be able to accept constructive criticism as well. Instead of going to your teachers with these concerns and talking to them about it, you come onto an internet forum and just bash them. That begs the question of what kind of person does that. Come with solutions and not problems. If you do not want people to tell you to "grow up" then maybe you should step up to the plate. This kind of behavior is typical of teenagers nowadays. They are all "grown" until they are getting criticized or corrected for something they may have done wrong and then all of a sudden they are not young adults, they are kids, immature, and not ready to deal and these are the words that I have heard not mine. If you do not want the criticism or the posts that come with this, then maybe you should not put yourself out there.
I remember you now. You're the kid that was on here a few days ago asking if he should start applying for college in 10th grade. When pressed, you admitted that you've yet to take the PSAT, SAT or ACT. Nor have you posed the question to your school's Counselors. But that admission only came after you implied that you had asked them and they refused to answer.

They didn't 'refuse' to answer, I just haven't asked them yet.
So if you act in an immature fashion you should be expected to be treated at that level. Your choice that you act that way, not the teacher's.
No. I'm saying that just because someone is in 10th grade doesn't mean they act mature. It's just an expectation.
But the teacher's reaction to a student making the slightest mistake is the problem I am having. It's okay to correct them, but what if they didn't know that X is against the rules?
Also, some of you are not giving me 'constructive criticism'. Instead, you guys are just calling me immature, which is not constructive critisicm.
I have teachers who whined about their students' behavior, are they immature because of the fact they can't learn to deal with it themselves?
So if the statement above isn't immature, then what makes doing the opposite immature?
Like I said, I've only encountered a few teachers who does this. This isn't directed at every teacher in the world nor the country. I may have gone a little bit too overboard with this rant, making it seem that everyone does it.
Also, the only 'authority' teachers should have is telling us how to behave, and giving us our education. The other rights are the same rights as children. They can disagree with the actions that their students does, they can freely express their feelings with the students. While the students can disagree with the actions and decisions that their teachers make, and they can expess their feelings about the teachers.
But the rights stating that they can use a cell phone during classtime just needs to go.
Remember, this is just an opinion. It's not a fact.

You're not generalizing, and you've been mostly unscathed by your teachers. I'm afraid I don't really see your main purpose with this thread.
Individual students are treated individually, dependent upon how they conduct themselves. Just like, you know...people everywhere. This is not rocket science.
