math teacher
okay i ahve this problem with my math teacher, well call her Ms. Fry (i dont know haha) But she said that i we dont understand somehting to come after school for extra help, so i ask her what day would be good and she tells me. So i call my mom and tell her but she cant come and get me, so i hav to cancel, thats apparently MY FAULT.
Anyways come the test i have no idea what im doing and I ask Ms. Fry a question and she says she cant answer it, but i was totally lost, but decided shes doing it to be fair to the other students which i understand. BUT we have this packet where we have to look up the answers (like where to measure)and the packet isnt tiny either, ITS HUGE and that was the easy part, but i spent so much time on the hard part i had no time for the easy part and by the time i got to it, everyone was crowded by the door waiting for the bell to ring. So i say aloud "Im never gonna make it, where do i find this?!" cuz the packet was huge and someone gives me the answer. I had onl one left, so she calls us up in teh front of the classroom and i explain to her i wasnt cheating, but i do understand it was wrong to talk during a test. I tell her that and she says she doesnt care and that its not her fault im "Slow". Then i ask her when the best time for extra help would be and she says its too late for that. I mean its never too late to know more about anything, maybe a possible retest, but im not even expecting THAT i just want to understand what i didnt. If that makes sense haha.
But i dont know what to do in this situation, im failing and have a bad teacher that hates her job and tells us everyday "im only doing this for the money"
HELP!

Ask another math teacher.
Life is a bitch.
Some people aren't good at or don't like thier jobs.
Taking tests requires some stratigic planing on how you should spend your time.
Some rules don't bend, even if you weren't trying to do something wrong.
Parents aren't always supportive.
It's a pain in the ass when all those bad things pile up on you, but there is really nothing to do but take a deep breath, and find someone who CAN help.

You should really get your mom or a cousin or SOMEONE to pick you up since you really need this. Now, this "Mrs. Fry" has very inappropriate behavior for a teacher. Explain this situation to a guidance counsellor, and in the meantime, you should participate in a homework club or get a tutor. If you would have a hard time paying for a tutor, you can get friends who also have a hard time and split the cost between the families. You could also ask to switch classes so you can have a teacher that can better explain things to you. I hope this helps and good luck!

Well you can study the parts of the math test that you went over and take the make-up test if she doesn't let you, talk to your mom and ask her to e-mail Ms.Fry(haha)about why you can't take this test. If your teacher does nothing go get your principal and tell them or get some witnesses in the class and ask them to prove that she isn't helping.Keep being respectful to her until then maybe someone will sit in the class and observe what is going on(a principal or adminastrator). Good luck

Have your parents mention to the principal her "I'm only ding this so I can make money" comment. I'm sure they would love to discipline her for that. If she's miserable and doesn't care about being there maybe she shouldn't be.
I can understand her being disappointed that you made an appointment with her and canceled it last minute. If she refused to help you period after explaining then she's not doing her job.
You were failing and did the right thing by asking for help. She's right though that asking for help after a major test/exam is too late to pull the mark up. To avoid academic penalty withdraw from the course.
I would have your parents approach the principal as she does need to be called to the carpet on her comments about not giving a shit about her students.
