Let's say you have a teacher who is right out of college. Your teacher has a nice personality and really cares about connecting with your class, so you're not offended by them personally.

However, when it comes time to actually learn something, they have a hard time focusing. Often, they lecture about things that will never be on the test, have kids talking on cell phones during class, and grade without rubric or explanation (later after persisting, never really finding out why you got minus 20 points.)

And let's say you talk to your teacher, and your councilor, and your parents and still at the end of the year -- nothing is done.

So now you're faced with an unfair decision:

A) Go to summer school (even though you take an amazing amount of responsibility, you still feel like you never got that advantage to do better)

B) Set up a meeting with the principal and VP to figure something out.

Which one would you go with?

OMG! i had a teacher like that
when i went 2 the ap'z(or in ur case the Vps) 2 try 2 to get her 2 stop.. they wouldnt belive me
and they didnt realy care...
the school runs on money i gess...
the more good scores on test ot the high the grades the school gets money from the state for textbook,classroom applications etc.
the teacher just wants the easy way out plus getting paid in the long run.
crazy and stuped (i know) but its true
go 2 summer school
and your next year of school.. if u get the same teacher or a teacher that has the same "personality" switch out of his/her class right away

good luck

Also, I know the teacher had some issues, but if you could maybe talk to him after class about your worries and ask him to maybe do class evaluations, that may help them out a bit. But don't talk to the Principal and VP before talking to the teacher.

(And I recommend summer school. Most classes are laxer than in the school year.)

go to summer school that way you can make up the credit
