Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>omigod.
I have this huge delimma with my teacher (for anom.'s sake i won't mention which one)
OK, so here is what happened. Basically, with extracurriculars and what else, I have been really, really busy lately. Once my teacher found out about it, she told me that i was stressed (accusingly) and said that i needed to stop dong so much stuff. NOw, once i even had to cram in a week's worth of science material in one day, and this is hard material. I pulled an overnighter and totally understood EVERYTHING. HOwever, for personal reasons, something bad happened that morning, and i was so messed up that i did not o very wel at all on the test, got a D. NOw, I usually get B's on tests, and everything else (homework, etc) is great. However, i hve ha this teacher for two years and she knowns that i have bad handwriting. so this all pilled up today, and this is what happened.
Today, we were doing a lab. about half the class didn't understand the lab. So, I went up to her and decided to ask her. You know what she said??
she SHOUTED THAT I NEEDED TO START READING THE BOOK AND STOP SLOPPING STUFF DOWN, AND THAT IF I ONLY READ THE BOOK, THEN I WOULD NOT NEED HELP. NOW, SHE SHOUTED TO ME IN FRONT OF THE WHOLE CLASS. btw, she has called me stubborn after i tried asking her questions. </p>

<p>and what's more, I have a grade that is right on the edge. We are not doing fianls (we are doing a final project), and so i am scared that something bad will happen. By that i mean that in my school, it's pretty much common practice among my teachers to give either an A- or a B+ for, say, 89.9% or 89%. (PLEASE DON"T BUG ME ABOUT THiS) SO, she will give the hard working students with those grades an A-, and the lazy ones a B+. </p>

<p>I am SO AFRAID THAT she will see me as one of those lazy students and give me that grade (B+). For important purposes, i really need a A- in that class. Please, please do not say that a B+ is not the end of the world, I KNOW THAT but for once, It's about the wrong judgments of a science teacher that have cuased me so much mental anguish that i DON'T DESERVE.</p>

<p>Of course, i really want to talk to her about this, but i'm afraid that she will just think that i am a stubborn, stupid girl for making up excuses. If you try to talk to her, she will just try to poke "fun" at me. I'm crying right now, it's just so unfair that i will get a grade based on how much she LIKES ME. If i talk to her, she will just say that i've done so much stuff, she really believes that I am stubborn and won't admit mistakes. I don't know what to do. </p>

<p>o, and one thing: she HATES HER JOB. she even said so.</p>

<p>THis world is so unfair. Is it even possible to try ad get through to her as a HUMAN??????? CC parents, what would you do if this happened to your kid?</p>

<p>I have been on CC for three years and this is the first time i have felt the need to do this. Again, for anoum's sake i am posting under a different CC name.</p>

<p>hmmmm</p>

<p>talk to your principal or youth service center...</p>

<p>or you could maybe tell another teacher that you trust to put in a good word for you...</p>

<p>or do both...</p>

<p>usually, other teachers don't like hearing about these things because they have formed this alliance and they stick up for each other.</p>

<p>I suggest talking to a REAL teacher.. someone who's been in the busness for a long time and know the real deal of what education is all about. But not someone whos been in school for a century, not someone who says that he'/she hates her job. Look for someone who has connections with the upper office.. not just some normal teacher that you favour.
And tell this person with power everything.. but dont make it seem too whiny because they'll just get bored and think you're just some weird student obssessed about the grades.</p>

<p>And as a last resort, go tell your parents to confront the school. They will do something about it because they're scared of parents and what they might say to other people, to ruin the schools reputation (that's what my school's like lol)</p>

<p>Goodluck!</p>

<p>ps. I have teachers too who say everyweek that they hate their job, they hate students, etc.. I just want to ....... kill them!!</p>

<p>wow...90% A, lucky...anyway, I'd talk to her about it, going over her head will only cause problems. First of all, it's likely that a principal/counselor/etc couldn't do anything, and if the fact that you talked to somebody got back to her, she would hate you for it, and be even more likely to give you the B</p>
