<p>Truth is, you’re going to have a lot of “unfair teachers” in your lifetime. I use quotes because he seems like a reasonable dude. Guess what? In college, they don’t have to take late work. </p>
<p>It’s not his responsibility you get an A, it’s yours. He is not obliged to give you extra points. Suck it up, work harder next time.</p>
<p>The irony in this is that bumping up your grade would be the only “unfair” thing he’s done to you. I hate when ppl complain about teachers. I’ll admit, I’m terrible at identifying “bad teachers” because I learn the subject by my own damn sled regardless of who the teacher is. That’s what happens at any top university.</p>
<p>And I feel like the more we debunk your argument, the more you’ll start to exaggerate about his behavior/class procedures. And is this regular physics? Honors? I took AP Physics C, the hardest class you’ll take in HS. I didn’t blame the teacher once for my shortcomings. Initiative and accountability, my friend.</p>
<p>Seriously, OP?</p>
<p>First of all, the average GPA for ivy leagues is not 4.0. </p>
<p>Second of all, just because you’re a younger kid in a more advanced class doesn’t mean you should get a grade bump (???)</p>
<p>You got an 84 on the final. You didn’t get an A. I agree that it would be unfair to give you an A because you didn’t earn it. </p>
<p>Move on and do something more productive with your time. If you don’t get into an ivy I assure you that it will not be because of this one B.</p>
<p>ClicheLady, move on. Seriously. Fixating on thing so mindlessly and considering Ivy-League admissions as such a one-dimensional process makes you unfit for that education anyway. This is coming from someone who got in to two of them.</p>
<p>This has already happened. You can do nothing about it. Try to spend time on things you can affect.</p>
<p>I know this is irrelevant but when I first saw this post I honestly thought you were talking about Bad Teacher, the movie. Lol. Sorry.</p>
<p>I had a 98 in APUSH and my teacher gave us a test the day after the marking period ended and I went down 9 points.</p>
<p>I think you’d be more likely to be deferred from an Ivy due to your bad attitude rather than grades.</p>
<p>lmao crying over a B r you serious</p>
<p>Ask yourself this: do you know the information of physics any LESS simply because you got a B+ instead of an A? Of course not that is ridiculous.</p>
<p>I have a B- in two classes. Is it partly some of the teaching I’m getting? Maybe. But I can also say I haven’t been studying the most I could. Life isn’t fair, and if you get rejected from ivies it will not be because of a B+ instead of a A-.</p>
<p>“Not for physics apparently.
You can’t grade something like physics unfairly”</p>
<p>But this is debatable. Some teachers I’ve heard of make it unnecessarily difficult. Like if the Answer is 14.5 newtons, points could be deducted for not putting 14.50 Newtons. I experienced that in my math class, not Physics, but I have friends tell me they have a teacher who does stupid things like that.</p>
<p>Sorry dude, but it just happens.</p>
<p>If you makes you feel better, every school has a teacher like that. My English 10 teacher (not honors or AP or anything) has never given out anything higher than a B+ in a decade. I received an 88 for the final grade for the second semester, and she notified me saying that that 88 is the highest grade in any of her classes.</p>
<p>I don’t call her a bad teacher for doing it - in fact, she’s one of the better English teachers I’ve had. She’s just a hard grader. Nothing I can really do about it.</p>
<p>You know what, OP? I changed my mind. I suggest you speak with your consular.</p>
<p>Yea, a consular would know what to do in this situation.</p>
<p>This better be a joke. Otherwise, why was this even worth posting? Honestly a B+ wont do anything to your chances. Keeping this attitude will. Chill out. </p>

<p>I completely feel for you. It is soooo aggravating when you have an 89.4something and then your ****** teacher is refusing to give you an A. To all saying that this is a joke, if you were in the same situation I’m sure you would be extraordinarily upset.</p>
<p>And also, to put it into perspective, my school doesn’t allow late work. Period. You either have it or you don’t. This teacher does not look too particularly tough to me. </p>

<p>@ilovediannaagron lol no, I have been in this situation, except I’m not an entitled brat. If you earn a B+, you earn a B+. Of course it kinda sucks but trying to place the blame on the teacher is stupid and immature.</p>
<p>@ilovediannaagron</p>
<p>haha i always laugh at people who have grades at 89.4 and whine for teachers to bump the grade up. 89.4 =/= 90 % in any way. All it goes to show is that you could have done a tiny bit more (maybe that hw assignment you halfheartedly completed, or the test you didn’t prepare as much for)…</p>
<p>
You should always obey significant figures when dealing with numbers like that. If you lost multiple points from that you probably deserve it because incorrect answers will be marked as wrong. Usually, when a student gets a question wrong on a test, the teacher takes off some points, but that doesn’t make the teacher a stupid teacher, because most teachers will do that.</p>
<p>@OP: It’s your fault for never talking to your teacher and explaining.</p>
<p>But hey, let’s say that I have a 67% in a class. That can probably be rounded to 100% if you go by the nearest hundred.</p>
<p>It’s these kinds of people that make me think that the CC community isn’t all that intelligent.</p>
