I need some advice
#29
RE: I need some advice
Your teacher is the person that is missing the point, here.

This is my job. I am a professional trainer for a major communications company that ousources call center solutions. I am currently training a retention class. This company, like most call centers, do not have the best hiring practices. Most call centers take the shotgun method. Hire as many people as you can, and hope the attrition rate is lower than 40%.

I say this to point out that in every wave of new hires, there are some people who do not understand how to behave/dress/act in a professional environment. A MAJOR part of my job is to make sure these people know how to do that, and while we're still training, holding them accountable to acting like a professional.

Talk to your trainer. Let him/her know your situation. Ask him/her if your questions really are weird, and if s/he thinks maybe they are, ask him/her what you can do to make them less so. Your trainer should be nipping this in the bud if public shaming is happening in the classroom, it is unprofessional. But advocate for yourself on the lowest level, you'll find that a lot more can be done on that side.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
