<p>What you SHOULDN’T do is just wait it out (it’s July already; school’s out). What you SHOULD do is panic like crazy until you have a massive heart attack and end in the hospital, hanging onto your life with one inch of thread. Then, let everybody in your city know that you almost died because of your bad mark. Then, the teacher will feel sorry for you and bump up your grade. Remember that drastic measures are needed sometimes! But in all seriousness, you should have appealed the grade earlier when school was going on. Now, your options are either to erase it from your transcript or retake it. However, retaking it will look bad as most colleges ask if you have retaken a course.</p>
