Well, the teacher probably has a lot more students than just your class (unless you're in elementary school or something). I think my teachers have about four or five classes of about thirty students (well, actually my class has thirty-seven) so that's anywhere from 120 to 150 students. It would take me a bit to remember that many names. You should just be glad with whatever progress they have so far.
It really depends on the class sizes. I'm gonna assume this is about college. A professor could only teach one class and only have a dozen kids in it, in which case, yes they should absolutely know your name by now. They could teach 5 classes with only a dozen kids each, in which case they should probably know most every kids names by now. Or they could be teaching in an auditorium type lecture class and have over a hundred students in each class. In this case, unless you are a teachers pet or a complete asshat in class, they arent gonna even bother trying to learn your names. Way too rediculous to relearn 500+ names every few months
Good point. I guess I was mainly speaking from my point of view as a middle-schooler, where my experience was what I was basing my statistics on. So, yes, if it's a small class and he doesn't know your name, then I completely agree with you (unless he has some sort of mental illness that prevents him from remembering people's names), but if there's giant 500+ classes, then I wouldn't bother knowing any names either. It just depends.
Damn, you figured out that the mentally ill are allowed to teach, and you're only in middle school? You're way ahead of the curve, my friend.
Vodka, you've got the right idea.
tl;dr your name isn't special, and you shouldn't feel special.
