Let’s assume you’re right. He’s a horrible teacher. Every kid in the class is failing. He’s never even in class.
Then: a) Administration is aware. They know what his attendance is. They’ve seen his grades and know he’s failing every kid he teaches. He’s been observed multiple times this year. This is obviously his first and last year-- that sort of teacher doesn’t get a second chance.
b) What are you going to do about your grade? It’s history. World History. There’s a textbook. The majority of questions on the tests are facts. You can absolutely teach yourself a good amount of the material, even if some of the nuances escape you. It’s May-- what have you done since September to master the material in this course?
I’m not pretending that all teachers are good teachers, or that teaching History or anything else well is easy. But at the same time, at the end of the day your grade is your problem. If the quality of the teaching isn’t making that easy for you, then I sincerely sympathize.
But you’re asking to be bumped up to honors. Pretty much the definition of an honors kid is one who is not only bright but one who goes the extra mile. If you’ve been pulling F’s for 9 months, you don’t appear to be one of those honors kids.
