Teachers have to handle a lot, from grading papers to creating the lesson plans to handling unruly students. Often, teachers have to perform this job with little gratitude from students and parents alike. When a student talks back to a teacher or performs some other inappropriate action, an apology letter to teacher will be greatly appreciated. As a parent, having your child write a letter to his or her teacher will help teach respect and how to take responsibility for his or her actions. These are both beneficial life lessons that will remain with your child forever, along with helping him or her to be a better student.

Format and Content

Generally, letters to teachers should be formal in order to demonstrate respect, as they are an authority figure. The apology letter to teacher format should begin with the apology, move to taking responsibility for the harmful action, and finishing with promising not to act in a similar manner in the future. Additional content should include how much you appreciate the teacher and all he or she does to create a great learning environment and how much you have learned in the class.

Sample

As a joke, one freshman decided to put a melted piece of chocolate on his teacher’s chair. Although the results made him popular in his class, it also got him in trouble with the teacher, the principal and his parents. He wrote this apology letter to teacher as part of his reparation for his actions. His teacher really appreciated the letter and forgave him for his pranks.
