<p>First thing you need to do is stop blaming the teacher for your grade. Unless everyone else in the class failed with you, the problem is you and you alone. Your grade in math started slipping last year, continued its downward slide this year, and you did nothing about it. It obvious you were hitting the dreaded Math Wall. That’s on you, not everyone else. And unless you make up the class, I really don’t see how they’re going to let you take Calc AB next year, a passing grade in pre-calc is usually a prerequisite. You’ve dug yourself quite a hole, the first step to getting out of it is to stop digging.</p>
