Absolute horrible teacher, how do I get out?

<p>Basically, next year is my junior year, and for one of my hardest classes, I get assigned this woman.</p>

<p>I don't want to risk dealing with her pathetic teaching, how can I approach my counselor and persuade him to get me the hell out of there?</p>

<ol>
<li>The classic “I’m not being challenged enough” line after a week or two</li>
<li>“She inhibits my learning,” give about a week for this one</li>
<li>Be honest. “I’m sorry Mr./Ms. Derp, but this teacher is lazy, complacent with her tenure, and you know it. Please, PLEASE MOVE MEEEEEEEE” then start crying or pretend to be Hamlet if she says no</li>
</ol>

<p>I wouldn’t base everything off of that website. I read reviews about my Psych teacher and they were all fantastic and made him seem glowing-- but I despised him. So you could end up loving this teacher.</p>

<p>The reviews on the site pretty much line up with what I’ve heard from others who have already taken her class. And I really don’t want to risk it, this is the most important year of my high school career.</p>

<p>Something must have happened… On page 8 or so, all of the reviews are good, but since then, she’s been going downhill.</p>

<p>Just go to the counselor and be straightforward. This looks to be a pretty bad situation you’re in.</p>
