Pull her aside not in front of the class and tell her straight and hand her a mint. She might not be aware she has bad breath, guaranteed she wont have bad breath again.
She’ll appreciate your honesty and being upfront.
give her some tic tacs!
Secretly, put a note on their desk that tells them that.
Don’t.
buy her mouthwash and say "use it biatch" ?
Um try offering her some mint gum or something or you can also try what fanofduk said leave a note when she is not looking and a pack of spearmint gum and ticktack things. Make sure the note is polite and serious that way he/she won’t take it as a joke from one of the students like ex: "um I didn’t want to tell you this personally it’s embarrasing to tell you this but your breath stinks". Hope I helped hee hee ; )
You don’t if you want to survive the class. Just step back! Or put a packet of breath mints on her desk.
You don’t! You suck it up for 40 minutes until you move on to your next class! Itll make things awkward and its not your place
give her a gift basket full of gums and candies and breath mints. and toothbrushes and mouthwash lol
lol i wouldn’t
deal with it..
take gum to school you never actually have to tell her just ask if she wants a piece make sure its extra strength
don’t tell her she might end up giving you a bad grade
lol thats really funny. if you really care, tell her secretly, i suggest just leave it and don’t get too close.
instead just leave a paper that tells them they have bad breathe and a pack of chewing gum on their desks. if they dont know who left it they wont be all against you and it will probably be better for them=]
leave a pack of Altoids or tic tacs on her desk with a short note. Don’t make it rude tho.. and don’t let her see you! :] hope i helped!
Next time they talk toss a piece of turd in their mouth that way FOR SURE they will wash their mouth pretty cleanly if you might ask.
P.S. I am a swimmer to and lovin it
you dont. you just deal with it.
i had a teacher last year that smoked, at tuna for lunch everyday, and never closed her mouth.
she was also kinda psycho and had a gobble. her arms were flabby also.
she got fired this year.
lol you certainly dont unless you want to be targeted by them.
besides, there is this disorder which people can suffer from, i forget what its called but its a medical thing where you cant help it. I would personally just try and let it go.
the same way they would tell you take them off to the side and ask if they are having problems at home and let them know if they need an extra tube of paste you will provide them with one or just ask them if they would like a piece of gum if they say no say i think you do you could use it!
Best way to do it is indirectly. Either offer them a mint (Tic-Tacs, Icebreakers, w/e you prefer
or if your teaching is cool give them gum.
Offer her some gum politely out of no where, she’ll get the point.
You don’t.
But you can use subtle body language. Actually not so subtle but make it look like you are trying to be subtle.
Maybe avert your face a bit when she talks to you.
Put something in front of your mouth and nose if she gets close.
But the best way is to avoid close-ups. I wouldn’t say anything to her.
If your teacher is a cool or laid back then just offer him/her a peice of gum or if the reject it politely tell him/her that she should really consider taking a peice of gum or a tic tac
Dear Swimmergirl: First, you need to understand more about bad breath. According to the Dental School of New York, 80 to 90 percent of bad breath is cause by bacteria that live on the top of the tongue and produce compounds that smell bad, however, the average person cannot smell their own bad breath. So your teacher might not know if she (he) has bad breath, just like you probably have bad breath but don’t know. Everyone has some amount of bad breath.
The key is to let your teacher know about bad breath and then they will do something about it. Good oral hygiene. brush and floss the teeth and then clean the tongue. There is new tongue cleaner called OraBrush. It can only be obtained on the internet: http://www.orabrush.com. One way to tell your teacher is to purchase two OraBrushes, one for you and one for them.
