I got my interim report back yesterday. I didn't think I was doing half-bad, though most of my classes are ones I wasn't planning to take until high school. I started skimming through my grades--they only give numbers, and they changed the grading policy, but I was fairly sure I was reading the numbers correctly. A, B, A, A, B...

 

The last thing on the papers was my Latin grade. I'd turned in every homework assignment (huge for me x3), gotten 100% participation every day (except for one, but I was absent, so that shouldn't count against me). I'd aced all of the quizzes. We only had one test, and I'd memorized the vocabularly completely. It came pretty naturally to me. Yet we had to name the parts of a Roman house. I bombed that section. My final grade on the test was a C+. One point from a B-.

 

Thing is, my grade on my interim was a 57. That's an F. I'd done everything, there were tons and tons of 100%. Every single thing was turned in. So one 80 got me an 'F', even though everything else was perfect? No, that's screwed up.

 

My grandma used to be a teacher, and I showed it to her. She agreed that my grade should be an 'A'. How did she average it to an 'F'? I asked her at school, and she was like, "Your grade is an 'F'. Asking me to pull it up for you will do nothing.". I kept asking her to tell me how it equaled such a low grade, so she got out a calculator to show me. Guess what? I'd earned an A. But she hit the clear button and said she must've done it wrong. I pointed out all of the assingments I'd completed, all of the stuff I'd gotten 100% on, and she still[/s] told me that I had an 'F'.

 

I don't understand what's going on here? Does she just not like me or something? She doesn't seem to pick on me any more than anyone else. Is there some other kind of grading system she could be using that's different from the other teachers'?

Some teachers can be complete jerks but the one you're mentioning looks like a complete *****.

My English teacher used to be like that.

What you can do is go to your school with your grandma and clear things out with your teacher.

i had a teacher who would stop smiling when i walked into the romm same thing happened to 1 of my friends

That's just wrong. Talk to your teacher. Ask him/her for an explanation about the grade. You ace everything and you gt 80 on one test and then it goes to a F is just wrong.

Just thinking about that makes me rage. D8

 

Try reporting her to the principal or something, idk o_o. I mean, not giving a kid a grade they deserved is pretty much against the law, I think. /emphasis on the I THINK

@ Sora Little's Helper

She thinks that it's my problem to solve ):

 

@ Vanitas

I don't think it's that she doesn't like me. She's pretty nice, usually.

 

@ Heartless101

I mentioned if you read my paragraph that I did talk to her.

 

@ HellFire1730

I hope so I think I'm gonna e-mail my principal.

Talk to the principal. That will be your only answer.

Teachers always end up hating at least one person in each class.

im not taking the teacher side

but the less homework in the trimester the more points each thing will be worth

@ Vanitas

I don't see the effect of that. I turned in all of the homework.

wat me saying if their isnt a lot of work and u bombed a major part that would have a bigger effect because since if there is less things to grade each thing will be worth more

Thats not right of the teacher, if your grade truly is wrong you should go to guidance or some form of people that can help you other than that teacher. If you still have all of the work you did bring everything with you. If guidance (or whoever you go to) doesn't do anything go to the superintendent, if he doesn't do anything write a letter to the board of education.
