<p>So I got a B in APUSH (89.3) and emailed my teacher about how I was in the first class to take the final, always participate, and how she forgot to give me extra credit on two occasions. I also wanted to mention that she brought her PUPPY to the final and that the dog was whining and playing with our shoelaces and was distracting during the FINAL, but I thought she might get angry at that and I did not want to ruin the relationship I have with her (because she is the head honcho for National Honors Society too).
She emailed me back and said that grades aren't based on effort and that I should try to enjoy our break. I can't. I worked so hard for an A and maintained it for most of the year. Would it be horrible to mention to her in person how I respect her decision, but then list my reasons again and mention how she brought her NEW BORN DOG to the final. Would she be offended/hate me/take it as blackmail?</p>
<p>Honestly the only thing she could give you credit is the 2 ec time and then hope she rounds up your grade</p>
<p>Leave it. You got a B for one semester of APUSH. Just pick yourself up and try harder next semester.</p>
<p>tell her to add in the ec</p>
<p>Email her about the extra credit and don’t mention anything else. </p>
<p>If she doesn’t want to give you the few points, then let it go. At least you tried.</p>
<p>It doesn’t matter that you worked hard and always participate. Email her about the extra credit if you want, but don’t criticize her or act like you’re owed an A.</p>
