<p>^Very likely that she’s screwed, but not definitely.</p>
<p>Scales: I’m a “her.”</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I beg to differ. On the last test, she took off a point for not having a parenthesis. She took off 2.5 points because i forgot to include a differential in the integral when i wrote it down. She took off three points because she couldnt find where i explained my answer even though it was clearly in the back of that sheet. She takes points off like this.</p>
<p>That makes it WORSE D: haha jkjk but seriously, wanton, why are you so for the teacher?</p>
<p>Yet again, schedule a time to sit down with her and talk. Bring up your issues. Discuss expectations she has for you/other students and why she grades like she does.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I know why. She doesn’t like me. So she does everything in her power to find the slightest mistake on my test and takes opportunity of that mistake by taking off many points as “reasonably” possible without me complaining.</p>
<p>Because I’ve never seen an unmerited instance of a teacher reprimanding a student, yet I’ve heard buckets of stories of boohoo my teacher just hates me stories. And again, she would have nothing to reprimand if he did his homework.</p>
<p>But how does that relate to test scores?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Oh goodness. You are a whiner. Get over it or talk to her. That’s about your only option. Ever consider there is a part of the story you don’t know?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Sounds just like my Honors Pre-Calc/AP Calc BC teacher. Nothing out of the ordinary. Trust me, my Calc BC teacher talked about how if you miss a “dx” on the AP test FR section, that could very easily be 1 point off of a 9-point FRQ (you know, the “correctly setting up the integral” point). It seems harsh, but you’d rather lose points on a school test than the AP test.</p>

<p>I am too scared this would just flare her further. I would rather not risk it. Even when i ask her to explain the situation, she gives me a very laconic reply. 'she gives me an attitude everytime i do try to talk with her about a problem. If i asked for help on a problem, she would have this tone that made it seem like i was ■■■■■■■■. For example, she would explain it this way: " FIRST yoooouuu takkkke the innteegralllll annnd thennnnn solllllveee forrr theee connnssstaannnt C."</p>
<p>You guys seem to believe that it is the student who is always at fault</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Actually, I would rather have it the other way around. This way i only lose 1 point instead of 2.5!</p>
<p>Just do your work (like you’re supposed to) and kiss as.s.
I am also very sick of unstable teachers.</p>
<p>But you guys aren’t focusing on my complaint!, which i have addressed in multiple previous posts. I understand that it was my fault for not doing the HW, but i don’t understand what makes her think she can abuse her power and grade my tests unfairly just because i didn’t do the damn HW? I mean isn’t that why there are separate grades for hw and tests? lol seems to defeat the whole point of the grading system. Why have homework in the first place when the performance of that homework will determine how a teacher will grade on a test?</p>
<p>No, I don’t believe the student is always the one at fault. </p>
<p>However, in the U.S. public school system, we are taught according to the banking concept of education. This means that students minds are seen as receptacles that must be filled with the teachers knowledge. This concept creates a very harsh dichotomy between student and teacher. A student is only a student, a teacher only a teacher.</p>
<p>This is the assumption of our education system. That there is a student and a teacher. The students mind is empty, the teachers mind is full. So of course the teachers opinion is of higher value. Teachers are not the ones who must change, it is the students.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, as high school students, we’re hardly able to protest this. So I operate off that principle, and I advise people according to that principle.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Then maybe i should get my dad who is an engineer to talk to my CAlc BC teacher? He is a much better person at math.</p>
<p>But we are all human, which means we are all capable of prejudice and bias, apparently his teacher is bias toward other students and therefore she needs to change. Thats why I hope to get into a boarding school, public school sucks dycyk!</p>

<p>What does this mean?</p>
