I'm in algebra this year (8th grade)
I'm actually pretty lost, I'm a straight A student, except for the fact that I have a C in math. My teacher last year didn't do much teaching and we played around most of the year, this is leaving me more behind.
So, I pay attention in class, ask questions, and do the homework, but I still don't get it! Its very hard for me to pay attention because my teacher has a very southern accent and it drives me insane and she can't pronounce alot of words. She has one student teach the class also, which is annoying, just because she likes that student.
When I go in for extra help, she gives me a worksheet and tells me do complete it, then she leaves the classroom! She doesn't even explain it!
My parents keep suggesting a tutor, but it hasn't happened yet. Any other suggestions as how to bring up my grade? (link)

The teaching ways of teachers are indeed a big part of how students learn. Personally, i think that you don't have such a great teacher. I would suggest in asking your friends who perhaps have a different teacher to help you. You could ask students from different schools as well. Or you could explain to your teacher that you really don't get it, and ask her to go in more detail with you. If she's not willing to do that, then she really doesn't deserve to be a teacher.
