Awkward Thank You

<p>Is is weird to email your teacher your ap score and say thank you for the year?</p>

<p>Uhh… well…, I Facebook messaged my Euro teacher and told him thanks, but it was a bit awkward.</p>

<p>I emailed my Art History teacher thanks because she was awesome. I’m gonna pester my AP World teacher in person, that bum promised me a Red Lobster gift card if I got a 5 lol.</p>

<p>@ CantConcentrate Eeeeks that’s what I’m worried about but I’m guessing politeness can never hurt?</p>

<p>@ Pentupenguin LOL. Nice. ;)</p>

<p>ahaha dude one of my firends emailed his gov teacher who he was super friendly with and the class had the highest average overall ever in 20 years.
and he was super confident about the exam this was the teachers response
“Hi,
Glad to see you had a good time.
You got a 2.
Good luck next year.”</p>

<p>so if you ****ed up, i would say it might be awkward</p>

<p>Well obviously you would only email them if you got a score that you and your teacher are happy with lol.</p>

<p>@ bluedevils Oh my gosh. That’s harsh. </p>

<p>But no, sorry, I should have been clearer but I meant that I already have my AP scores (it’s something my teachers would happy with.) Is it weird to simply say “thank you for helping me do so well” kind of thing. Hahaha.</p>

<p>I did that but that was because I told my teachers I was calling on July 1(well it turned out to be June 30 lol) and they told me to email them to tell them but if you know them well and they gave you their email, I dont think it would be weird</p>

<p>I don’t think it’s weird or awkward? I’ve emailed teachers to thank them for other things before. But, I’m not from the US so maybe I don’t think it’s awkward because I’m used to that kind of thing? haha</p>

<p>My chem teacher and I have become bffls, and I e-mailed him my score and I’m going hang-gliding with him. Also sent a facebook message to my calc teacher, and it wasn’t awkward at all.</p>

<p>At this point, they have had access to scores online and they know your scores. Some teachers may not be aware of the system, or don’t know how to access it, but they’re definitely the outliers.</p>

<p>Daughter’s teachers emailed HER to tell her she got 5s and to congratulate her, I thought that was pretty amazing. Of course she emailed back to thank them for the year and what they taught her.</p>

<p>It’s only awkward if you make it awkward.</p>

<p>How on earth (or above it?) did you manage to become such good friends with your chem teacher that he’ll take you HANG GLIDING???!?</p>

<p>He’s a hang-gliding fanatic. I don’t know, we relate personally, and I honored him for a school function and he agreed to take me if I got a 5 on the AP test, which I did. So . . . I get to do that before the summer is over :D</p>

<p>I don’t think it’s awkward.</p>

<p>When I see my calculus teacher I plan on saying “Thanks for nothing.” -___- But seriously… I might just do that…my friend already did at the end of the year (right after the AP test) and she just walked away! :)</p>

<p>(we all got 1s. when I say all, I mean everyone in the class who took the dang test.)</p>

<p>^ Ouch. Bad teachers don’t deserve to teach…, and that’s not even considering AP classes.</p>

<p>^We can’t just blame the teacher. My school’s AP Calc teacher preps her students to death. What do they do in exchange? Guess on all the MC and leave the testing room leaving all the FRQ’s blank. It really makes me feel bad for the teachers, since they kind of just give up sometimes after they realize the students don’t care at all. There’s really no excuse to get a 1, students should be able to at the minimum get a 2 just by looking through the textbook/a prepbook.</p>

<p>^Hmmm… I suppose that’s true also. Is the bombing of the AP test sort of a revenge tactic against the teacher? Or is it just that they really don’t even care that much?</p>

<p>They simply don’t care. Most of the kids in the class are seniors so by the time AP tests come along they think they’re done with high school and don’t need to do anything. Getting college credit doesn’t even cross their mind. There’s usually one or two kids every other year that end up getting 5/4’s, but those are the juniors that are ahead in math and actually care about school and academics. This is the case with most classes however. Many inner city schools have a large gap in academic performance even among the Honors/AP kids. Every two years there’s 1-2 kids that will get straight 4/5’s, and then all the other “AP” kids get 1’s and 2’s for every single test. No one in between.</p>
