Ok first off, this isn't an AP class. This class is an advanced class (SUPPOSED to cover slightly more material than the regular avg class).
Second off, i was not trying to get out of that class or the test. No one knew about the test until the day before (My second day working on other assignments). I had no prior knowledge until immediately before I went to this class.
Third off, i wish you would stop saying "skip". I am not way skipping, playing hookey, or just goofing off. I am working on a test in another class (Which is AP).
Fourth, i do not have straight A's and i haven't since the 8th grade. I have 3 A's (2 in AP classes) the rest are B's. I cannot get an A in this class because it is next to impossible to understand her. This is the ONLY time all year i have missed her class. So whatever your opinion on the subject, it has virtually no effect.
Fifth, i am in no way cocky. I have never and will never disrespect a teacher. In my 9th grade year i had a teacher who hated me for some reason. I was quiet in that class (didn't know many people) but i knew exactly what i was doing. So he marked me late EVERY SINGLE DAY of the entire school year. When we called and talked to the Principle the principle said that the teacher in question claimed "I worried too much about my grades". I was suffering in that class, yet i said nothing and did nothing out of respect.
I have read the text book and i have done all my assignments. However, i cannot learn it well enough without a proper instructor explaining it to me.
Besides, if you are a senior, your grades this semester don't really matter, as college/scholarship applications are already in, valedictorian most likely decided, etc.
I know. I have gotten into VT, but i want to make it in the Engineering School my freshman year. I also dont want my grades to fall. I want to do the absolute best i can up until the end. (Partly because i get grounded (No friends, cell phone, car, tv, computer etc...) if i get a 'C' or lower.
It sounds liek you just tried to get out of taking a tests and are trying to conivnce yourself it was her fault, when in all actuality is yours because you didnt go to the class. The teach is allowed to do whatever they want, if you dont attend class well you are outta luck if you dont get the material. At least thats how many of my teachers were, reguardless of if you had "permission" from them or not. Is it fair? yes, because why should you be able to ditch out on class (reguardless of what it is to do, reguardless of who you get permission from, because frankly im sure all those other kids in the class had something better to be doing but still attended and got the needed material) ?
You sound like all the other "honor roll" GPA 4.0+ kids i knew in HS...whine and moan whenever you get a B cause the teachers screwed you over in some way (LOL), when its your own cocky know it all attitude that got you there in the first place.
Hmm, sounds like you need to go back into school my friend :roll:
ASIDE FROM THIS INCIDENT- whatever your opinion on the matter may be, she cannot teach. The class average speaks for itself. Not to mention the number of complaints she has already recieved. To go even further, as i said earlier, she was "kicked out" of the governors school because of that. Im sure she is smart, but she either cannot teach, or cannot accurately convey her ideas to people. Something needs to be done (Not replacement teacher but, at least get the other physics teacher to stay after school and help out students willing to stay (I may not be able to stay everyday because of friends, work, and other commitments, but it would certainly help).
