<p>wow. at my school, we are required to take AP tests if we take the class, unless we drop the class, regardless of grades</p>
<p>Fledgling - Take the high road w/r/t your teacher and it will make more of an impact.</p>
<p>Write her a kindly worded letter telling her you got a 4. Tell her how difficult and upsetting it was to you to hear her say what she did, and ask her to reconsider this sort of advice in the future. Maybe even say something like “I think I might have received a 5 if I felt I could have had some support from you when I was studying” The letter should be about your needs and your feelings and not about her shortcomings - those will be implied. </p>
<p>Email it, and CC your counselor or someone at the school who should know this goes on.</p>
<p>Good for you!</p>
<p>p.s. if you follow my advice and want some input on the letter, feel free to PM me with it.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>This is way too extreme. You could say this to her maybe, but CCing a counselor? bad idea</p>
<p>@ anotherparent and everyone else: Thanks for all the kind words! Though whatever she says or does at this point isn’t going to matter, because I’m actually transferring to a new HS for my senior year. 
Perhaps seeing my score alone will make her feel bad, but I’m not upset about it anymore :D</p>
