I had one like that for 10th grade algebra. Basically failed the class , and the teacher was always mad at me. After I got he highest score in my county on some standardized math test and was given some award, the principal looked at my grades and saw I had a C- and had a conference with the teacher and myself where I found out he was giving me a different test than everyone else.
- legutierr 4y agoI feel like the teacher could be either the hero or the villain in this story—pushing you to excel, or tearing down a gifted student. What was the outcome of that meeting?
- googlryas 4y agoDefinitely tearing down. However talented I was, my sister went through 3 years earlier and was a math prodigy on the national level, and I think this teacher viewed himself as partially responsible for her success. So I came in later, not nearly as good, but still locally great, and I think my lack of desire to push myself to excel like my sister did ticked him off and he wanted to punish me for it. End result was I got an A in the course, but had to do extra credit assignments.
