<p>"BTW the difference between an F and A is not favoritism, you are exaggerating."</p>
<p>Tell this to my AP English Language teacher. She failed me on multiple essays which, if written by pretty much any girl in the class, would have otherwise been praised.</p>

<p>No, I agree with the previous poster. If that was really the case, you should have talked to the teacher or a school administrator. </p>
<p>If a teacher really disliked you, they would dock small points off of your essay that they can somehow justify. Giving an F to a paper that clearly does not deserve one is extremely dangerous.</p>

<p>Grades aren't exactly objective. I can't provide proof as to why my essays weren't bad. My teacher was one of the worst I've encountered and she was fired at the end of the year, so I'm pretty sure I'm not imagining how bad she was.</p>
<p>Even in English, teachers have to have rubrics. She should have been able to explain why she gave you an F. If she couldn't explain her reason, that would count as proof. </p>
<p>Your teacher was probably fired because other students had the same problem and went to see someone. You really should do that next time you have such a huge grading problem - don't let your transcript suffer if you really don't deserve those grades.</p>
<p>Hmm...most the teachers in my school now are pretty fair. I mean I've seen ones that grade tougher than others, but they were consistent with their students. In english, I'd look at other people's essays that recieved a better grade than mine and I would have to admit it was better written. I've never really seen something totally off the wall. As someone said before, teachers like kids who work hard and make their job easier. I'm not saying that favoritism doesn't exist, because it'll subtly exist anywhere. We're human after all.</p>
<p>I don't think favoritism was that big at my school. Most of the teachers treated us fairly. Mind you, that didn't stop one kid from brown-nosing at every convenient time. How bad was brown-nosing at other high schools?</p>
