Bad Email
I got so upset at my english teacher for giving me a bad grade on my project that i worked so hard on, so i sent him an email about it. it didnt seem rude at first, but when i went back and read it after i had cooled off, i realized that it does sound a bit rude. what do i do now? i dont want to appologize because i still dislike my teacher (i'm really not sorry) but i do feel bad. i dont want him to hate me now. what do i do?

By reading your e-mail that you wrote to him it will show him that you are a student that is concerned about your school work, which regardless or not that he changes your grade, it will build respect because you care about your work. Sometimes it's better to stand firm and possibly even be a little curt just to get your point across. I can understand your point especially because you worked hard on your project and you want your fair share out of it, which he might poissibly realize that. If you change your mind about an apology (if you feel it's even necessary) just consol him and tell him you didn't mean to sound rude, just that you were really frusturated because you worked hard on your project. Just relax and don't let this stress you out, because one way or another, your concerned about your well being and that's a great trait to possess. Hope everything turns out well for you! :) Dave

He will likely think you were acting immature and in the heat of the moment before thinking. He has probably seen more than his share of students meltdown the moment they got a bad mark.
You can hate him all you want but do yourself a HUGE favor READ his comments over and over again that appear on the paper. Implement them and you will see your grade jump higher because you'll see what was wrong with your paper then.
Also be sure to re-write and re-work your papers before handing them in. Professionals do this and if you don't do it your grade will suffer. There's always more you can do to make your paper better.
What should you do now? Approach your teacher and apologize for your meltdown and e-mail. explain that the mark made you angry and you can't understand why you got it when you worked your head off.
He will likely find the time to sit down with you and go over what you could have done differently or better. I'll tell you something even reporters who are legends in their field have editors who dislike their stuff and push for better.
Maybe he thinks you have potential that you aren't living up to. The best thing to do is sit down with him, stop griping and listen. You may find he gives you a ton of information that turns you into a better student.
He won't hate you. Been there did all this myself. It's student's like you that are probably far more interesting to him than others. You really want to learn and improve or you wouldn't have become so angry. Don't blame him for anything. Blame yourself for not using what he said about your piece to get better marks later on.

Honesty is the best policy. That was brave of you to tell him how you felt. I think you should tell him what you told us: you worked very hard on the project and you believe you recieved an unfair grade. You thought he needed to know how you felt and after cooling down, you realized it sounded rude and you feel bad about it. Hopefully you will be able to work something out about your grade. I hope you didn't curse in your email, otherwise your grade will stick. By telling him you feel bad about what you said, he will see that you are being honest and that you really did work hard on the project. Good luck.
