Homework Blunder Question

[IWasBornToLoveDisney]

i'm back from school and have a question, it's not really important what the answer is b/c it can't be changed anyways but i'm just wondering what you guys think or would have said/done or do;

on Thursday my chemistry teacher told us she would be gone on Friday but that the sub would still be able to just hand out the tests. she then told us that we would have a podcast due on Monday. well Friday rolls around and the sub hands out our tests, collects our review packets and says, "Your teacher says here to remind you that the new chapter packets aren't in yet but that your podcasts are due Tuesday *points to the board (which says 'podcast due Tuesday!') * go ahead and take your test."

so i get into chemistry today wondering if we're going to do a lab, (b/c usually we have podcasts we then do worksheets, no podcast then we do a lab), and she says, "ok guys start working on the first worksheet and i'll come around to check your podcasts." i threw a horrified look at my friend next to me and we both threw one to our friend behind me lovestruc he's sooo cute!) *ahem* anyways...

so when i turn back around i must have still had that look on my face b/c she looks at me and asks what? and there was something about how she said it that made me get mousy, "well the sub said they were due Tuesday..." "No, the board said Monday." and i went to answer and say that it had said Tuesday but she continued, "I'm sorry if the substitute told you Tuesday, but he was incorrect. *turns to rest of class* Those of you who did not complete the podcast should go get their textbook." and just about every person stood up. (we only have a class of 18 and i'd say 12 stood up and 3 more opened their book)

now i realize that true it's not her fault the sub "told us incorrectly" but it's not ours either. and yes i know she has to keep on schedule.

but; is it fair that i'm going to be docked points for the podcast being late?

i'm sry... i have a science teacher like that as well. i'm a straight A student and grades are super important to me... so when he handed back our OPINIONATED tests and i had C- next to my name i pretty much flipped. he then told the class that over all everyone did a very good job(the kid i sit next to is failing the class and alread ysigned up for summer school and he got an A-) so i went up to him after class and asked him to re-grade it, but he wouldn't. then i asked him what i did wrong and he said i didn't put enough detail. oh did i mention that i went onto a seperate page to finish writing my answers they where that long! and i had them backed up. so then i went to my friend Izzy and asked to look at her test,B+, she had half the amount written as i did aaand we made the same points!!!!

every test,lab, homework assignment he grades, i now have to check because he will add the point tally wrong or miss mark it. i also have to check my overall grade, because we took a test the other day and i got a 24/25. when i get home and check my grade he has it as a 17/25. ***???? and again i had to appraoch him and ask him to change it!!!! he bugs me so much!!!!

so moral of the story: everyone has a teacher like that, and don't worry, it's already fourth quarter, only another 2 months left!!!!!
