Alright, I'm in advanced math courses. My family expects nothing less from me. But I swear, I SWEAR my teacher hates me for some reason. I'm not sure what it is, but I'm positive I'm one of her least favorite students.
Okay, maybe my grades haven't been the absolute best lately?? I have a B in the class and I had a B last quarter.. so for mid second quarter we got our progress reports. I didn't even look at it because crap disgust me, but I'm really slow at math.. everything else I'm good at, As in everything but advanced math. You need to maintain a B average to stay in the advanced classes right? And I'm maintaining one, there should be no complaints. However my dad told me that my math teacher actually wrote that I dont take math seriously.
Um.. WHAT?
Math is the class I take the most seriously, I have no idea what she means. I actually study really hard for this class but I don't get the best grades I guess.. I had an 89 and she wrote that for me.. my friend told me he had a 92 in her class and she wrote that he's an excellent kid and she had no complaints.
..are you kidding me?
That got me really mad. This isn't fair whatsoever. I have no idea why the teacher wouldn't like me either? You know, I'm a pretty good kid. I rarely get in trouble and it's not like I'm super chit-chatty in that class because I'm not and I prefer to be quiet unless I wish to be killed by the teacher.
Yes I'm aware advanced teachers are more harder on the kids but... seriously?? I don't get what could make the teacher act this ways towards me. I really don't think I did anything wrong?
Not to mention I have her next semester too. Boy am I suffering.
Also my dad and Mom are pretty strict themselves. But they KNOW I take all my classes very seriously and I work my hardest. As long as I'm on highest honors - they're happy! And so am I, really. My dad and I even shared a laugh about what she said since it's so pathetic in our opinions.
I've been meaning to talk about this for quite a bit. Really, ever since I heard the news from my dad. I really didn't mind the teacher and she says she's super strict and all, but after that - sorry but no. I no longer like you. (:
See if you cant speak to a guidance Councillor or the principal/dean about it. They can probably move you - or get better answers out of her.
I had something similar happen - though in my case, I didn't know until I was too late - in English, regarding my level 1s. More than likely, if it's happened to you, it's happened to others as well.
I was on the opposite side of the spectrum however. Moved me from a E8 to M5 because he didn't think I was working hard enough - but also would not tell me how to improve my marks. Long story short, I've been writing for 8 or so years now, so it's not surprising my level 1s were a brease. The type of thing expected is the type of thing I write all the time.
