Is this normal?

Hello all, I’m a student teacher student doing my internship right now. I’ve been with the same teacher for the past two semesters. The reason I tell you this is because we have lunch together daily and the kids really like and respond to her. <br><br>So I’ve been incorporating STEM projects that are hands on and also highly engaging for students. They have opportunities to bond and collaborate with each other. <br><br>Yesterday, one of our students came to us and is very upset. He said he thinks the teacher dislike students and that she doesn’t care about them.<br><br>I asked him to explain more and he said she screams a lot and that she’s always in a bad mood. <br><br>I asked him why he thought that, and he said, “whenever me and my friends try to ask her a question, she always answers sarcastically and in a very condescending way. I don’t know how to describe it. She always answers like this, “what? Why would you ask that question? Of course! Why wouldn’t it be that way? . And she always sounds mad so we stopped asking her questions and try to go straight to you for help because you are nicer.”<br><br>I was so surprised by this and asked him if anyone else in the classroom felt this way. And he said, “yes, we all don’t like that about her.” <br><br>This makes me so sad. I feel like this could be avoided. She’s a very knowledgeable teacher and I really like her, but I wish she had more patience and understanding.
