<p>She might be one of those teachers who has favorites. My U.S. teacher LOVES this one girl in our class who isn’t too bright and cheats, but the teacher doesn’t know that. Don’t bother grade grubbing, because she sounds like the teacher who will NOT tolerate that. Instead, talk to her, and force answers out of her that explain the "so"s and "confusing"s.</p>
<p>lololololol
Do we go to the same school?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Oh for ****'s sake, just because the teacher is incompetent doesn’t mean that the OP isn’t, whatever happened to reasoning?</p>
<p>And please, stop bringing up the SAT, no one gives a **** in HSL.</p>

<p>How the heck did you come to that conclusion?? </p>
<p>And you’ll get “So?” at the end of a lot of papers. Welcome to higher education.</p>
<p>OP, something here is unclear. What do you mean when you said that you wrote the prompt? How do you actually copy the whole prompt question verbatim into a response?</p>
<p>If you really wanted to see if she’s an incompetent grader, see if you can hand in an essay from another person who usually gets good grades and see how she grades it. Some people I know did something similar to this at the end of the year. Beware you could get caught for plagiarism.</p>
<p>I think the OP meant she included the prompt question before her actual essay. As in:</p>
<p>
Name
Professor, Class
Date
Title</p>
<p>{ Insert Prompt Question Here }</p>
<p>{Begin Essay}
.

{/Essay}
</p>
<p>Because the prompt is given, having marks such as “so?” and “explain” in that area wouldn’t make any sense. The prompt is the prompt is the prompt, and you give your explanation and analysis in the actual essay.</p>
<p>To the OP: Next time, don’t provide the prompt in your essay. It’s a given that your essay is responding to the prompt, and including it just wastes space.</p>
<p>Yes, you are correct, I copied and pasted the question to the top of my essay before beginning my paper. There were about three lines of spacing below it making it very clear that it was not part of the actual paper part.</p>
<p>I drew the conclusion that my teacher hadn’t read it because the prompt was all marked up with “so’s” and “further explanations” and “unclears.” That doesn’t make any sense, why would she critique the prompt? That is why it became evident that she does not carefully read my papers at all since she not only failed to notice that she was editing her own writing and that the prompt was not part of my essay.</p>
