Subject: Concern About Teacher’s Grading
A few weeks back, my English teacher noticed me working on my science homework during class. Ever since, I’ve felt like she’s been grading me more strictly than the other students. What should I do if it seems like a teacher is holding a grudge against me?
School starts way too early! My school day kicks off at 7:10, but I have to wake up at 4:40 just to have enough time to get ready and eat breakfast. And if that’s not tough enough, my bus shows up at 5:40, even though I live just 10 minutes from the school! After a […]
AM or PM Off Periods Next year, I’ll have 2 off periods, and I’d like to know what others prefer. Do you like having your time off in the morning or the afternoon?

Dealing with a teacher who seems to be holding a grudge can be frustrating, but there are steps you can take to address the situation:
Reflect on Your Performance: Assess if there’s any basis for the feeling that your teacher is grading you unfairly. If you think your grades are genuinely lower than your peers for no reason, it’s important to address it.
Talk to Your Teacher: Approach your teacher calmly and respectfully. Ask for a meeting to discuss your grades. You can express your concerns and ask for feedback on how you can improve. This shows that you’re motivated to learn and take responsibility.
Keep it Professional: When you speak to your teacher, focus on your work and performance rather than emotions or accusations. Use specific examples of assignments or tests where you feel you were graded unfairly.
Document Everything: Keep records of your grades, assignments, and any interactions with the teacher related to your concerns. If you end up needing to escalate the issue, having clear documentation will help your case.
Seek Support: If the situation doesn’t improve after speaking with your teacher, consider talking to a guidance counselor or another trusted adult. They can offer support and advice on how to navigate this issue.
Stay Positive and Focused: In the meantime, keep working hard and focus on your studies. Maintaining a positive attitude can help you stay motivated and demonstrate your commitment to your education.
Remember that teachers are human too; they can have off days or biases, but addressing the issue directly and respectfully is often the best course of action. Good luck!
