<p>What if we had this teacher for a specific class let’s say french who was extremely bias and hard so I ended up failing in his class, but then I retook the class at a college passed with flying colors then I had his class again. He once again failed… What I’m trying to say is this teacher’s bias, majority of his students fail unless they’re favorites (really unfair class, he rants about for half the time then gives us a test, which he hardly went over at all) </p>
<p>Should I talk about this in my essay, like how Im capable of doing the work, but just not with this guy or how should I interpret this in? Or is it best to just avoid it all together?</p>
<p>To be honest, it kind of sounds like you’re just making excuses for bad grades in a certain class (blaming the teacher, not the student); who knows, the college course might have been far easier than the course taught at school. I’ve actually had to read an essay like this, where the student explained a riff between herself and a teacher that apparently explained away some not so stellar grades; this certain individual was an excellent writer, but the topic of the essay (similar to what you went through) seemed somewhat condescending and whiny, so I had to tell her to write a new essay (which ended up being much, much better–it involved eyeballs and spaghetti). Essays are supposed to be about you, and what makes you unique and “worthy” of getting into college. Explaining away your grades like that in an entire essay is to me, a waste of time and valuable essay space. You have to realize that in college, there are going to be professors who, while they might not be as extreme as your French teacher, are not always going to click with you. </p>
<p>In other words, my advice to you is to avoid it all together. Write about something that is you, and not about an unfair teacher.</p>
