am I being ridiculous?
One of my teachers has cancer. She missed a lot of school and was struggling to get grades for our class. She took one worksheet and took it for 3 different grades, 2 daily and 1 test. I know I got 100 on it, but when I checked my grade, it showed a 95, 100, & 80. I was really mad because I know she just made up the grades to get them entered in time. I tried emailing her about it a few times because she gets pissed when I try to talk to her during class. She never changed my grade and it messed up my 6 weeks and my semester grade because of this and it screwed up my GPA. Is it wrong that I'm mad about this?

Yes, I would be somewhat upset, but approach it with understanding. This probably helped a lot of students out like if you were grading on a curve, but in your case No. Talk to her rationally and calmly and tell her why your upset and what your expecting her to do about it. There is always a door or opportunity to go back and change any grades. But stay on it and don't wait.

If you are ABSOLUTLY POSITIVE that your grades are wrong; then you have the right to appeal them. If your teacher does not want to listen to you there is a formal way for you to follow to further your quest.
Unless your teacher is the chairperson of that department then you you go to the department chairperson to appeal. The chairperson is her supervisor. If the teacher has done something you feel is wrong this is the proper person to appeal to. If you cannot see the chairperson or if you do not get satisfaction then.
The next person in this chain would be the School Principal or Vice-Principal. As Principal he or she is responsible for all of the teachers as well as all of the students. At this level it is a good idea to enlist the help of your parents. It is not the Principal won't listen to your problem. It is just at this level there are so many responsibilities and so many student problems to deal with. A problem such as your does not have the priority that it should have unless a parent is there to make the complaint.
It is wrong of any principal to prioritize in this manner. Unfortunately it is the squeaky wheels that get the attention and parents are squeaky wheels.
It is unfortunate that you teacher is ill with such a nasty illness. Please make sure you are correct in that your tests are not properly graded before you make any appeals. This is a nasty illness she is fighting and any more problems in her life right now can only compromise her recovery.
