<p>Ok, I have a teacher for chem this year (my second year with her, must I add- she also teaches biology, which I took last year) that is honestly, a terrible teacher. She never even teaches. Basically, it's read the chapter and do the review while she sits at her desk. If you ask her a question, she simply googles it because she is <em>that</em> clueless. She is hardly qualified for her job. I firmly believe the only reason she has a job at my school is because she is a basketball coach. Anyway, I had an A+ in her stupid class, up until today. She entered the last grade into the computer, incorrectly. This mistake dropped my grade to a regular A. She refuses to fix it (because it is too much work or something---really? It's too much work to do your job??). However, I do have extra credit points that would bring my grade back up to an A+, so I really wasn't that concerned about the other grade-until I went to ask her to put in my extra credit. She refused to do this as well because "an A is an A is an A". I have worked for this A+ and want it on my transcript as opposed to that rotten A she is trying to force down my throat. Should I go talk to her about it again (hopefully more persuasively this time), or just let it go? Any other suggestions as to what I could do?</p>
<p>

<p>Lol, only on CC. </p>
<p>She’s wrong not to fix your grade, but…pick your battles. You have an A. Worse things will happen later.</p>
<p>Is there a GPA difference between an A/A+? Is it worth it to ruin your relationship with her for all of next semester?</p>
<p>She has hated me, and I truly do mean this, since last year. I’m not burning any bridges whatsoever. There’s no GPA difference, but I do want the A+ on my transcript. I want to major in Biochem, so my grade in chem is kind of important to me.</p>
<p>IMO an A vs. an A+ isn’t really something worth addressing, especially if it would annoy someone, unless there’s a GPA difference. I probably wouldn’t even bring it up with a teacher who liked me.</p>
<p>Haha, a teacher that liked me would fix this before I even got my whole sentence out. She doesn’t like me at all, and I honestly don’t care how mad she is at me- I just care about my grade. Sorry if I sound angry right now, but that’s what I am. A very furious student that doesn’t want to settle for less than what my grade should be.</p>
<p>imo, don’t say anything. the difference tbetween an a/a+ is near nonexistent. you wouldn’t want to risk your relationship with her.</p>
<p>Colleges won’t deduct points from an A+ to an A. You do sound furious (“that rotten A she is trying to force down my throat”-- really?), and that comes across to her. She can sense the disdain in your voice (if we can sense it through typed text), and the likelihood of her changing your grade is probably pretty small. If you could approach it nicely and genuinely, perhaps it’d be worth trying again. But I wouldn’t ruin the next semester of a relationship for a distinction that nobody but you will really notice. Do you do any projects or subjective work in your course? Could she assign detentions for ‘talking’ in class? Is that all worth it for no GPA difference?</p>
<p>Subjective work- no. Detentions- no. And honestly, I was super friendly when I went to talk to her today. I became angry only after I left the classroom.</p>
