Teacher Vs. Student: Who was right?

<p>I’m referring to the grade, the rant is extra.(; </p>

<p>I had a AP Bio teacher who decided to drop everyone’s grades 10 percent. Basically, he started moving assignments/taking them out of the online grade portal. I was the only one to complain. He went against his syllabus a day before semester grades were due. </p>

<p>So what did he do? <- I was the QUIETEST girl in that class.</p>

<p>There was a meeting with the vice, my brother, and him. I wasn’t there and I regret it because my brother couldn’t deny the lies he said about me since he…well isn’t me. </p>

<p>He made sure everyone thought I was LOUD, disrespectful, stupid [he showed the vice a test marked 70% without the 25% curve since highest grade was 75%], and just made up plain lies. He even got a girl from my class to print out something I said about him on facebook. I got suspended and he kept asking people to check what I write. In the end, my rep wasn’t ruined with any of the faculty [mostly due to the head of discipline who adores me]. </p>

<p>Some teachers act less mature than students.-_-</p>

<p>Teacher is wrong.</p>

<p>Some people are absolute clowns in this world, fight back.</p>

<p>Student (you) was/were right, although you should have been at the meeting. Would have saved a lot of drama, although, in the end it didn’t really matter.</p>

<p>And most adults are under the misconception that they are more wise/mature than teenagers. Whatevs. They can keep deluding themselves.</p>

<p>It was during school. The vice could have called me down easily like he did to discuss my schedule changes. </p>

<p>In the end, I got a new teacher, and since its a double period I would have been stuck with 2 Bs first semester and second. The suspension doesn’t go on record. I just couldn’t join NHS, big whoop lol.</p>

<p>Oh his latest complaint - “I give him threatening looks in the halls”…</p>

<p>What did you say online?</p>

<p>That I wanted to kill him… It was just over-exaggerating and I though a threat classifies as saying you will do something. I know I was wrong in the facebook situation. I was asking grade-wise. </p>

<p>The things he said/did before and after is what ticked me off. If he wouldn’t have made plain ass lies about me, I probably would have apologized to him.</p>

<p>I have no doubt you were over-exaggerating, it happens to the best of us and it can unfortunately come back to bite you in the tush :X I was just curious
He was very wrong
I’m really sorry that you had to go through all of that</p>

<p>Hehe I know. Its just that when I tell people its like an “OMG” reaction.</p>

<p>Well that’s a no brainer, obviously you’re in the right. Which is rare, but he has no right to be as immature as he was. I’m glad you have people on the faculty who helped you. It’s also absurd to use “I want to kill him” to interpret as “I’m going to take a knife and stab him in the back tommorow at 2:15.” </p>

<p>As for the grade, why did he do that in the first place?</p>

<p>Teacher was WAY out of line. HE should be fired!</p>

<p>“Too many people had good grades.”</p>

<p>I’m not-so-slowly losing hope in the education system. I absolutely think you were in the right here. </p>

<p>Among other faults, it’s so inappropriate to involve another student in his petty games with your reputation.</p>

<p>Unfortunately, there are many people that choose to place their faults on others. You ended up getting the brunt of this one.
Probably not a good idea to put anything that could be considered threatening (like I’m going to kill him) in a public forum. I say that all the time. I tell my son I am going to kill him. I do not mean it literally, its a cultural/regional saying that many people use. Most of the time I am laughing hysterically when I say it. But if I were to write “I’m going to kill my son”- and it was out of context without an explained intent, I could have social services at my door. That is the world we live in. So refrain from anything that could be used against you- it’s in your best interest.
Sorry your teacher was so insecure. Make sure your brother knows to have you called to the office if anything like that happens again. I hope it is a non-issue though!</p>

<p>I want* to kill him. I know I was wrong in that situation. My school takes it seriously. If you say “This class is killing me” online you’re off to see the school psychiatrist. His attempts didn’t work and when I see him in the hall I smile so big.(:</p>

<p>He obviously considers your smile menacing. Just let it go. This is one of those situations where living well is the best revenge.</p>

<p>Well this happened a long time ago. It stopped being on-going when I started to smile. At first I looked away and he smirked.</p>

<p>Plus he said my looks in the hall were threatening before I started to smile…</p>
