Some Professers are Easier to Talk to than Others

I can remember when I was at Clarion when one of the students in the class was dyslexic. I knew that she was and we had to write out our names for our name tags for the class to see. When the one girl next to me wrote her name it was completely backwards and the professor thought she was joking and made it a point to announce her stupidity in front of the class. I rewrote her name for her and she got extremely red and left the class. Afterwards I talked to the professor, It was shocking that he acted in such a manner since it was a Special Education class we were in. From talking to him it was clear that he had no idea and was very upset with the way he acted. Since then I think he has been more open to the issues of his students instead of putting a judgement before an explanation first. The reason I am writing about this is because I think that every student feels that some teachers are easier to talk to than others. Students shouldn't have to feel inferior to their professors. I have had several professors I have been able to talk to and felt very comfortable doing so, but I recently came across a health issue and found it extremely hard to talk to one of my professors about it. When I came to the professor I asked to talk in her office and I felt like I was asking too much, I didn't want to be in the open in front of the entire class when I discussed my issue and I didn't want to make it more of an issue than it was either. The teacher was upset because of something not even on the subject of my health issue and I think that is where the miscommunication was. I know when I go to work everyday I make sure whatever issues I have with my own life, I leave at home and don't let those issues interfer with work. If I do let them interfer then the people I am working with aren't getting my full attention if I do bring those issues in the work place. I guess the bottom line is, some professors are just easier to talk to than others.
