<p>So I have an A in all of my classes besides an A- in english(and I have an 800 in CR, lol). so my english teacher gives me a B on my test. i got all the multiple choice but in the rest of the test she took off random points everywhere with no comments. some of these were factual one sentence responses that i answered correctly. so i told her "i'm not asking for points back or anything, but could you please explain why you marked all of these wrong?" and she hesitates and is unable to come up with any reasons. so i tell her straight up "if you can't think of a reason for taking these points off, then you're taking off points arbitrarily. and grading randomly is truly unfair to your students." </p>
<p>i honestly wanna punch her in the face. so do you hate any of your teachers? any tips for coping with a bad teacher? i considered that talking to her might her off, but i wasnt gonna sit back and let her screw me over.</p>
<p>If she really can't explain what you did wrong, then talk to your principal or ap about it.
There's no reason why your teacher shouldn't be able to talk to you-especially if you ask her when she has time-set up a specific time to conference with her, or go to her superiors.</p>
<p>My ap chem teacher. I have a B- in a class just because he takes random points off and even if i have the right answer he sometimes crosses it off...
my parents will kill me!!</p>
<p>Why do you think she's targeting you like that? Are you obnoxious in class? Do you give her any reason to dislike you? If so, change your behavior.</p>
<p>See if she does the same thing to other people. If she does it to other people without reason, then she's definitely a bad teacher and you can all present your case to the principal, parents, etc.</p>
<p>that sounded hella disrespectful saying that to ur teacher, you should have been more nicer about it, not just call her out like that. you should have just said " i really want to know why i got those questions wrong, so the next time i won't make that mistake again"</p>
<p>what you did might end up making her taking points of randomly again, and hating you more</p>
<p>My Physiology teacher. She acts like it's a college class, yet all we really do is color plates and she grades us mostly on the quality of the pictures. My friend had the best data of them all and got minus ten points for better pictures. Then she gives us a quiz/test. How the hell can you learn with a colorplate!?!?</p>
<p>I got a paper back from her today and it was 96/100....so although I did risk ****ing her off, I guess it's often true that the squeaky wheel gets the grease. she didn't want me go to her superiors so she changed her grading :)</p>
<p>and i'm sure she still hates me. but i dont really give a **** what she thinks about me, she's just another roadblock on the road that is life.</p>
<p>My physics teacher..tests are worth like 40% of our grade and they are like 4 questions long! Hard questions too..I've gotten B's on tests, but A+'s everything else, but still have a B+ in the class! Arghhhhhhh</p>
<p>My freshman English teacher was just unfair. He didn't give ANYONE an A in his class, and his tests were usually on insignificant details in the novels we were required to read. He also graded our essays using an insanely hard rubric. I ended up with a B+ for the 1st semester and a B 2nd semester. I HATED his class so much. And it especially made my blood boil when I heard of the easy A's the people in other teachers' classes got. I mean, it's Freshman English! Why does he have to make it a lot harder than it should be? </p>
<p>Ugh. Now my English 9 grade looks bad in comparison to other people, just because I was unlucky and got put in a horrible teacher's class. I have an A+ in English 10 this year. Hopefully this, as well as A's in English for the rest of high school plus a good SAT English score, will help to nullify the only black mark on my transcript so far.</p>
<p>English II H. The teacher has no idea what she's talking about (she told us yesterday that "Its Friday morning and my brain hurts, give me a break!" when we were asking her about a punctuation question) and she gives us about a week and a half of no homework, then piles it on (reading the first 200 pages of Invisible Man (which is in the SENIOR curriculum might I add) in 4 days and annotating.) When parents called up the Department Head, he blamed on the fact that she coaches field hockey in the fall, which is a bull excuse. First off, that's her choice to coach. Second of all, its not like we're all drones who go home & read. We do clubs, we do sports, we do extracurriculars! When it comes time for the tests, she's very inconsistent in her grading and takes points off on some people but not for others. She's very biased in her grading and doesn't tell you why you got points off, she just circles a number and that's how many points you got off. Essays, she wants us to change our word choice for every single fricking word! I ended up having to change "truth and reality" to "absoluteness and factualness" in an essay about Mockingbird because she told me to change those words. I got fat "WC" circled over those two words when I got my essay back. Everyone gets under a B- on their essays because of her stupid punctuation rules which make no sense, and then when we ask her questions about her punctuation rules, she gives us bull responses like about how her brain hurts and we're making her second guess herself.[/rant]</p>
<p>my honors chemistry teacher truly has no idea what she's doing. she used to work at a college in canada but now teaches at a catholic hs in new york? and can't seem to grasp the fact that she's supposed to teach us something. when someone asks a question, her response is always "look it up when you get home." she hates me in particular.. won't call on me in class, unfair lab grades, changes my seat for no reason, etc. i'm just hoping i learn SOMETHING i didn't already know by june!</p>
<p>My physics teacher sucks. Like whenever I ask a question, she says we already went over that we dont have time we have to move on bla bla. And you know how physics is supposed to be taught with calc right? well not my class! She says she doesn't teach it with Calc because not everybody is in calc yet, but I have a suspicion she doesn't actually know calc. just make like an AP class that teaches it the right way!</p>
<p>My honors chem teacher is horrible. He doesn't seem to get the idea that if you give students a one page handout with really basic examples of questions with no explanations, that nobody will be able to take an impossibly hard test that asks the most complex questions that I've never seen in my life.</p>
<p>English (regular, not honors): three acts of macbeth in two days, enough said.</p>
<p>I remember there was this one Spanish teacher that always got on my nerves. I aced all the tests and quizzes (I think my avg in this category was an A+). Then on my report cards, I would end up with a B+ or B, and I'd think 'This isn't possible...'</p>
<p>Then I figure out that participation is 30% while tests are 70% of the grade. Apparently she was giving out F's for participation just because she didn't like some people. Other people who she LOVED would get A's even though their test grades weren't up to par. </p>
<p>She also criticized people who were overachievers. She said they were stupid for wanting to go to a good college. Yeah. I hated/hate her.</p>
<p>oh my god, elcoco "I remember there was this one Spanish teacher that always got on my nerves. I aced all the tests and quizzes (I think my avg in this category was an A+). Then on my report cards, I would end up with a B+ or B, and I'd think 'This isn't possible...'</p>

<p>... I think I have the same spanish teacher as you... (probably jsut coincidence). But I died a little inside when I was all nice and sycophantic to win her over to my side so she would give me a B at least for participation so I could get an A... (my rubric was 75 tests/quizzes, 25 participation). I hate teachers that have participation - it is just their way of allowing themselves to be subjective and making the students they dont like powerless. </p>
<p>... Weird that they were both spanish teachers.</p>
