my teacher's a retard


Question Posted Thursday September 27 2007, 7:31 pm

I'm in the 10th grade - My chemistry teacher is a flipping moron. He doesn't explain anything, he SAYS he's not going to explain anything, and all he ever talks about it getting a raise. And while this is going on, I have a f****** 1.5 average in his class because I can't understand CRAP. I have tried to read the book by myself, but I don't understand it. I need clarification from a teacher, you know? So now I'm stuck. I have straight A's in ALL of my classes except this one. And I don't know what to do. We have counselors at my school. But I'm not too sure if parents are allowed to talk about grades or anything. Any suggestions on this situation? :( I don't know what to do.

Pick up your act. There is no way someone with straight A's should have a 1.5 average on anything. You obviously know how to work hard, and there is no reason for you not to be at the top of your class. Get a toutor and start paying mnore attention in class. If you have a poor teacher, it's your responsibility to try even harder.

Are other kids in your class doing this poorly? because if not then it's most likely not the teacher and you should take responsibility for your own grades. You could always call a friend and ask for help, but cursing your teacher out on here and calling him a retard is not going to help. If you arent willing to go in at lunch or before school and ask for help from him or a student then it's your own fault. I hate when people blame their bad grades on teachers because there are othre ways to get help if you make an effort. Maybe chemistry just isnt your thing because im in 9th grade and im in chemistry and i find it extremely easy and its not becuase i have a good teacher.
