<p>So my government teacher is a complete ******* and just because he hates me he wants to fail me. On the 10 week he gave me an A…and we havent dont any work since thenn to have the potential to impact my grade. He is writing a letter to my counselor about me failing the class?? So i am just scared ****less. What do i do :(</p>
<p>How low can my grades drop for me to be rescinded</p>
<p>3.0 unweighted with no more than two C’s and absolutely no D’s or F’s. I hope that issue gets resolved with you, the UC’s are quick to rescind (especially Cal and LA).</p>
<p>bannana_girl, </p>
<p>You need to talk to somebody in the principal’s office asap. Something doesn’t sound right to me. Could it be that the teacher has mistaken you for another student? I have heard of that happening to people more than a few times in my life. Sometimes the teachers skip a line in their grade books and mix up scores. Other times they confuse names. Otherwise, if it is a matter of the teacher simply not liking you, you need to see if you can transfer into another class.</p>
<p>there are absolutely no grades in this class. we do nothinggggg</p>
<p>today he said this : " I don’t care how you guys did on the AP exam"</p>
<p>i mean seriously is this something normal. or should i go to the counselor becacuse he made such a comment?</p>
<p>he definetely doesnt have me confused with another student he just HATES ME!</p>
<p>i just dont know what to do at this point. :(</p>
<p>Transfer out!</p>
<p>You might want to get your parents involved. This sounds pretty serious and totally unfair. Your future is at stake if you get flunked unfairly. This teacher sounds nuts and maybe others know it too.</p>
<p>^ Yep. Parents can make almost anything happen in highschool.</p>
<p>^i can’t believe im saying this, but i actually agree</p>
<p>There’s probably more to this story. I doubt that he said he was going to fail you because he hates you so he must have some kind of reason for making that statement (skipping class, not turning in assignments, disrespecting the teacher, etc.). There must be some reason in the teacher’s mind for this and if the answer is because he ‘hates you’, he must have a reason for that in his own mind at least. </p>
<p>I suggest talking with the teacher again to understand what the issue really is (assuming you don’t really know) and letting him know that this is very important to you. Be as civil as you can since you have everything to lose if you’re not. Remember how he responds and the exact words he uses. They may come in handy if/when you have another discussion with the Principal’s office later.</p>
<p>If you don’t get anywhere with that, I suggest getting your parents involved and making an appointment with the Principal’s office (usually the Principal/Assistant Principal and not the counselor) and explaining your situation to them and seeing what they come back with. They’ll usually discuss it with the teacher and come back with some other story. If it can’t be resolved to your favor, hopefully your parents can help get the situation resolved. Make sure the Principal’s office (and the teacher) know the ramifications for you if he gives you a D or F. Maybe they’ll be less flippant about it.</p>
<p>You need to get moving on this now and I wish you good luck.</p>
<p>i think the reason he wants to give me a d or f is so my admissinos would get rescinded. his son didnt get into any good colleges so he is pretty ticked off id imagine.</p>
<p>i know why he hates me…it has nothingg to do with assignments. i always have my work done for that class. i am rude to him, yes…but its because i dont respect ppl who teach when they know less about a subject than their students</p>
<p>i am totally okay with him giving me U’s for cooperation in the class…but i just dont see how being rude to him is equivalent to failing me in the class!</p>
<p>You can get it fixed. This guy sounds weird. Don’t let him get to you. Good luck</p>
<p>why would he randomly hate you?</p>
<p>like ucsd<em>ucla</em>dad, it really seems like theres more to the story than you’re telling us, teachers dont just go around and fail kids they randomely dislike</p>
<p>um are you sure its no more than two C’s i thought it was just no D’s and F’s</p>
<p>drama queen</p>
<p>Although I agree that maybe there is something you’re not telling us, sometimes it does happen. My brother got the end of a lot of hatred his senior year. Granted he was never too great about doing work, he had an amazing tenor voice that could have gotten him in a lot of places for music.<br>
Anyway, he ended up having a blood disease that was never fully diagnosed but they said it was similiar to ITP. His civics teacher, I believe along with a few others, said that if he didn’t turn in some project she would fail him. Note that he had been in the hospital for a few weeks and so he was forced to stay up all night right after having chemo to type it up.</p>
<p>So point is, sometimes teachers can be unfair. I say talk to him one more time, be civil. Don’t get emotional, I’ve noticed some teachers don’t take well to that. Just try to figure out what’s going on and if it can be helped. If that doesn’t work, arrange a meeting with your parents and principal. But also, you may (or may not depending) want to tell him you’re going to the principal, some teachers get really mad when you go above their heads without telling them. Also, if he knows he’s being unreasonable he’ll change his tune. My band director wouldn’t let me borrow a flag to make an audition video for the UCLA guard, and I told him that he had no reason not to other than the fact that he does actually have a personal grudge with me. The next day he had a flag ready for me, had a gentler tone, apologized, and we worked it out like civil people.</p>
<p>Best of luck!</p>
