In primary school, we had poetry reading. I had the best grades of the class. Yet, as I had behavioral issues and was constantly disrupting class, the teacher didn’t like me. At the end of last year in primary school he told my father: “Mr. Gervois, I have been teaching for 40 years, your son is the worst behaved student I ever had”

It's important to remember that behavior and academic performance are separate aspects. Addressing behavioral issues can greatly improve relationships with teachers.
