<p>Have you had any? I have an English teacher who barely teaches anything and makes peoples marks up! I'm not even joking. I've asked her for my mark breakdown literally 4 times (she'd always tell me to come back) because of a ridiculously low mark I don't know how I've gotten. And in the markbook it contained terrible marks of "extra" assignments I've never even done. I know it sounds ridiculous, so my guidance counsellor I've told doesn't seem to trust me, obviously.</p>
<p>Anyone else with unfair/ridiculous teachers?</p>
<p>In 8th Grade I had an English teacher who only asked super obscure questions on tests. Like "What was the name of the police man's cat?" (the cat was mentioned at most once).
So once we had a test on shakespeare. There was a question he marked me wrong on, but I was pretty sure I was right. So I asked to see my friend's test (he got it right - he is also the "favorite") and he has the EXACT same answer as me! So I bring both tests to the teacher (the answers were the exact same) and he says "come back later and we'll talk". So I go back to him, and he refuses to change the grade. He just says that I was wrong. So that night I print up analysis from a bunch of colleges that proves my answer was right (like 20+ pages of evidence). He got angry - and still refused to change my grade :(</p>
<p>omg !!!!! icinnamon, why was he like that?? i don't think i ever had a teacher like that in almost my whole life. i guess i'm lucky to have teacheres who like me mostly.lol. i think my physics teacher last year really don't like me.</p>
<p>My gym teacher grades mostly on "participation," which really means how much you tell her that you love her and she's a wonderful teacher and her class has changed your life. Seriously, we have "quizzes" with questions like, "Which part of this class did you like best?" "How has this class impacted your life?" "What are you glad to have learned from this class?" If gym weren't a requirement, no one would even take her class. It's just stupid.</p>
<p>hahah i don't know. He's been teaching for more than ~30 years and people say he used to be good. But not anymore...
Luckily he was at my old school, so I don't have to see him ;)</p>
<p>My B+ in honors English would be an A- if my teacher included an A for a poetry reading in this quarter's grade, but because some students are doing theirs this quarter, he won't put mine in. We only had four grades this quarter. </p>
<p>My health teacher keeps forgetting to grade a project I sent her after I returned from an exchange in France, and I'm quite sure it wasn't on the quarter grade this time. She also lost one of my homeworks.</p>

I think your teacher is my English teacher's wife. Mine keeps making up assignments and grades for me and never gives a breakdown of the final. Our class participation is 70% of the grade, and he gives me a C almost every 6 weeks. No matter how much I participate in the class, he keeps giving me a damn C. I had him for 2 years and he keeps doing the same damn thing. It looks really odd to have grades AAAACAA with a C in English! I hate that class so much.... He keeps giving us tests on ridiculous grammar rules too. I basically stopped caring and keep getting Cs. At the end of last semester, I had (C C) and I told him that I was exempting the exam. After I told him that, he gave me a B for the 3rd grading period. I'm sure that he did that to **** me off (If I got a B on the exam, I would have ended up with a B)</p>

My health teacher gives grades randomly as well.. My grade never reflects the tremendous effort I put into that class or the tests grades I got

<p>Wow, your health teacher actually makes you do work?</p>
<p>My Religion teacher marks off for the most random things, and says he's "open minded" to suggestions, but once our class made suggestions he shot them down and told us that he wasn't changing anything. </p>
<p>Although one time I did prove to him an answer I put on a quiz (that he marked wrong) was right, because it was in the book (and he's very by-the-book) and he gave me the point. But he doesn't like me.</p>
<p>my freshman world history teacher had everyone in the class swap final exams and grade them... they were essays too. i also had a teacher who would make ridiculous mistakes on grading like 10+10+10+5=32 and would get really annoyed when i would correct her.</p>
<p>My health teacher basically turned Health class, which is supposed to be a simple class about well-being, into an all-out advanced anatomy/biological sciences class =/. We had to do this HUGE project outlining various glands in the body and their functions/ their anatomy.</p>
<p>there is this English teacher at my school who is really awful. She grades based on how she likes someone. One girl passed in a spanish essay and got a 100. She inflates and deflates grades. My friend's grade was an 88 for a while, then she checked this weekend and it dropped to a 70. This has happened to tons of kids.</p>
<p>Wow. I feel slow...I had to read that quote about seven times before I got it. Haha, I thought they meant that they were in Spanish class and the girl got a 100 on her essay and passed the class. lol!</p>
