Hey everyone!

I’ve been having problems with my teacher lately. She goes so fast in Spanish barely anyone understands her, and she’s so strict yet she doesn’t make sense 50% of the time. My teacher has us submit these online activities…and virtually (ha) everyone is having problems. However, she doesn’t believe anyone having these problems, and blames US and actually yelled at a girl whose computer was down and she had to rely on her phone to complete the assignments, but her phone doesn’t record the results most of the time.

I have been having issues especially considering my family switched to this new wifi company thingy ma bob and it has been continually disconnecting me (we are trying it out and we have decided to look for a new wifi company) so I often have to take pictures of my results, instead of submitting them, or else it disconnects and I lose tons of work. I have been having issues with this in my other classes, but my other teachers are EXTREMELY understanding, and often let me email pictures of my assignments, to prove I did them. I now have an A- in my difficult teacher’s class because she won’t believe me when I tell her this, and she claims I am the only one having computer issues.

My wifi is now at lightning speed so there won’t be any more problems in the future, but my friends told me I should print out my ‘proof’ with my computer time, talk to her a convenient time, and get a note from my parents about the issues, to prove I’m not lying…is this a good idea? They also told me to go buy ‘apology’ cookies in order to bribe her and put on my most innocent face haha. Have you had a teacher like this before?

An A- … woe is you. If the internet issues are over, don’t do any of those things. Foreign language teachers from other cultures can be challenging for US students – it is almost certainly very challenging for her, too! I think colleges are more more forgiving of grade slip ups in foreign languages, too. It isn’t the end of the world if you don’t get an A.

@intparent haha I know, woe is me. I think I might still do those things, just because she also teachers AP and people told me to butter her up sophomore year just because she grades harsher on students she doesn’t like. She has barely learned my name, and only because I’m the girl that keeps showing her the assignments on my phone. Should the note be typed with my parent’s signature, or handwritten?

Probably handwritten
