Why do teachers get aggressive when you don't hand in work or get bad grades?

It's not like it's their future on the line if I get crap grades etc OR IS IT?

Why do they always take my failure so personally like they get extremely angry at me like as if their life depends on my work...

Dont say it's because 'they care about you're lol it's not cause the teachDr was like ' I don't care about your other work, BUT YOU HAND IN MY WORK WHEN I TELL YOU TO...

Do they get payed less if I get bad grades and get paid more or even a pay rise if I get good grades?

I know nothing about the teaching profession.

    We get upset because - wait for it----WE CARE about our students! Shocking, I know. We put a lot of effort into planning lessons, grading, giving feedback, and we genuinely want our students to do well. It is very frustrating to see students who could do well, but choose not to, b/c it can limit their future choices. It is very easy to make dumb choices as a teen, and then really regret it later on when you are older and wiser. We just want to ensure that every kid does his or her personal best.

    Their career is on the line. The principal gets upset at the teachers because the school board gets upset at the principal when the students fail.

    Instead of criticizing your teachers, maybe your time would be better spent if you put some effort into STOPPING BEING STUPID.
