I hate her so much

[nice]

As the title suggest I hate my math teacher with a passion it's gotten to the point that sometimes I don't do my work just to piss her off. I have a fucking C- in her ass while I have like A's and B's in every other class. I'm in ninth grade and taking geometry because I did algebra 1 last year so it's advanced math. The teacher thinks we shouldn't need as much help since we are the advanced class when that's not the case obviously. Everyone of her classes hate her even the really quid and good students. The fact that I'm only doing bad in her class means that I'm not the problem it's the way she teaches because what ever the other teachers say is sticking to me and all the other teachers know I'm a good student.

Any advice on how to deal with her or at least get a better grade would be helpful.

"Sometimes I don't do my work to piss her off."

DO THE WORK. It's not pissing her off. If anything, it's one less assignment for her to mark. Your education matters more than negative feelings towards a teacher. So step one is do the work.

If you don't understand the work, ask other maths teachers, or maths coordinator, or a tutor, or if you don't know who can help, ask your counselor if they know who you could ask. If all this fails, turn to the internet. Google the question. Look up some websites that can explain how to do it, and you can take your own time figuring it out.

Try your best to not let these feelings get to you. As they say "holding onto anger is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die". You sound smart enough to handle to it. :)

Certainly sounds like 'her' problem in the sense that she's a bad teacher. It is her job to impart knowledge and hone your abilities: sitting back and letting you get on with it is lazy on her part and she's also not earning her pay. If you are not alone, I'd suggest a bunch of you get your parents to raise it with the school.

It is also 'your problem' in the sense that you aren't going to help yourself by giving up on the work etc. You aren't punishing her, just yourself. The reason for doing that work is still that it helps YOU learn: as long as she doesn't ignore it or make errors in marking you can still learn from it.

Don't get mad, get even: fix the real problem don't make a new one for yourself.

Well skipping out on doing her work just to make her angry isn't going to accomplish anything with her and is most likely the reason why you have a C-. If you do all of your work on time your average will definitely increase and you'll probably understand the material a bit more since you're getting more practice with it. The best advice you can get on this is to do all of your work and do it on time. Going in for extra help can also do wonders for you. Even if you aren't getting a lot of new knowledge from it, extra practice never hurts and doing so shows your teacher that you are putting in the extra effort in trying to learn. Teachers respect that a lot and it shows that you are taking initiative.

She rarely grades homework she only grades it maybe twice a week. And I don't like her to the point that I don't want her help she can't teach good.

Whether she grades it or not you're only cheating yourself by not doing it. Teachers assign homework so you can comprehend the material better and so you can get extra practice outside of the classroom. Doing homework can only benefit you -- it has importance -- it's not just to annoy you.

Unfortunately in life you can't always love your boss or who you work with. If you can't handle that and you put up a protest every time you're faced with a situation that you aren't exactly fond of the. You're doing yourself a disservice by not working with it or around it. This is just something you'll have to find a middle ground with and figure out how to work with it. Try going in for extra help, your teacher will see it as you taking initiative to better your learning experience. I wouldn't tell you to do it if I didn't think it would help you -- what have you got to lose? It won't negatively affect you in any way.

You don't have to take my advice but these are all things that have helped me get through high school, which I'm almost finished with now. Give it a try, you'll never know until you do.
