Innapropriate teacher?


Question Posted Thursday November 30 2006, 11:04 pm

15/F

I am a grade ten and I am required to take 'Planning 10' this year. It is a mandatory CAPP (career and personal planning) class. I was going to hand in an assignment today (on time) but asked the teacher if I could borrow her holepuncher (so I could put it in the required folder) but she said she didn't have one. She also said that I would lose 50% on the assignment automatically.

Hole punching was not part of the criteria so I feel like I should not lose so many marks. On my last assignment the whole class got 90-100% but I got 54%. I am a straight A student and try exceptionally hard on my work yet she gives me terrible marks for no reason. I even do assignments when I feel like they invade my privacy.

I have had enough. Am I overreacting? Who can I speak to about this other than her? She doesn't have a whole lot of common sense and I do not feel comfortable talking to someone so unfair.

Thanks so much

well i think that you should talk to your teacher.. like e-mail her... or talk to your school conselor... if the teacher didn't have a hole punch, so can't mark you down... what if you didn't own a hole punch?? What if you couldn't afford one?? in my opinion.... she was being unfair! you should probably talk to your conselor!

Write down and document the seperate occurences - then goto the guidance counsoler or prinicple with your concerns.

You are not overreacting, your history states that you are a good student and you need to the wheels in motion to take care of this.

What the f? She's in no way qualified to do this. Complain to the head of dept or someone of higher rank and capable of seeing that justice is done. Make sure she gets it.
You are not in the least bit at fault.

No, you are not overreacting. This is illegal discrimination. Call up your dean or principal and have that teacher outta there. :]

Well you can talk to your parents about that and they can try to talk to her and even the principal might help too.

I would talk to your principle and have him look into it for you. I don't feel a teacher should count it against you if you don't have a hole punch. Thats just ridiculous.

If all else fails have one of your parents talk to the principle. Someone needs to find out what this teacher is doing.

I don't think you're overreacting at all.

Good luck. I hope you get to the bottom of this soon. :)
