My senior year of high school, my sociology teacher cut my grade from an A to a C because I didn't pay attention in class (screwing up my straight As). When I challenged her by saying she shouldn't grade my personality, she responded that if she had, I would've flunked. She did the same thing to two other fiends.

She was the worst teacher I had. She had an attitude going and was offended because I corrected her a couple of times. Her teaching method consisted of sitting at her desk and reading the book to us--of course we entertained ourselves and didn't listen to her monotone mumbling.

I remember one test that had some genetics questions on it. She marked my answers wrong. (I had even worked out the recessives on the back of the test.) I took my paper to my biology teacher, who verified that I was right.

The stupid teacher wouldn't change my grade even when another teacher corrected her.

Some teachers are on power trips. Bad, vindictive teachers are the reason the school board won't allow grades to be used as punishment.

It sounds like a petty classroom dictator got their just reward.

Grading on "Class Participation" is a great way for teachers to get back at students on their hit list.

Bad and vindictive teacher wouldn't that the kind of support this guy does.
