opinionsarestill tells us more.
HI! I appreciate sympathy. I wasn't expecting it, but it makes me feel a bit better. Thank you. XD It is (was) a college level English course (the last one I had to take for my GE requirements). I really did try hard in that class. I would ask him very specific questions and he would provide vague answers. His opinion on the material was never explicitly clear (considering every assignment we did was based upon a different work or subject). I'm not displeased about getting a B, it's just frustrating to be left so close to the next grade!

So in this day and age if you get a B, instead of being proud people are growling at you for not getting an A? Wow, getting educated sucks even more than when I was a kid!

It can make a huge difference in terms of GPA if you get a B instead of an A.
You should go to the dean about this
On the brightside... You aren't failing!
Appeal that...or talk to an advisor...
Honestly I always make sure my papers line up with my teachers opinions. Like this semester in English I had a very environment friendly teacher, I wrote all my papers on how the environment was being ruined and such and got an A+. My friend on the other hand wrote a paper on how global warming didn't exist... Yea she got a D. It's stupid but teachers are bias.
I don't think the D has anything to do with opinion, the problem there seems to be factual.

He is just doing his job preparing you for the real world. Your future bosses would probably dock points off from your performance review for not having the same opinions on things, and there is little you can do about it. Sad but true.
you are an idiot, teachers are to grade material based on the material itself, not their convoluted shitty opinions

Yes. Your boss is supposed to help company make the most profit and assess your performance and contribution accordingly for raise or promotion too. I guess You will be in real shock when you see real contributing hard workers are passed up for promotion in favour of buck passing, backstabbing suck ups.
A teacher's job is usually to provide information and advice you'd use later in life. Not to teach you how to think. Especially not an English teacher,who's supposed to teach you a language,not an opinion. So maybe it is how reality works,but he certainly isn't doing his job. Also,the OP is paying for her teacher to give her a B for her opinions,as opposed to her bosses paying her.
You mean ex-teacher, right? Sue him!
Why are people thumbing you down? Maybe you need to throw a urine/ shitty pun in there.

I would definitely report him. I've been in situations like this and it's incredibly frustrating. Even if it doesn't change your grade, make the effort to get your issue out in public. If there appears to be a pattern of him doing this, the school will have to act. You could help a lot of other people out down the line.

for what? Under what law?

Yeah it is frustrating, I've gotten less then a percent from an a in a class just because I got nervous and bombed the final.

I had a similar situation in a college level English class but my teacher decided to tell me to drop the class instead of dealing with someone with a different opinion from hers. I feel your pain at being so close to an A.
Why don't you report him, teachers are suppose to be biased. He sounds like a prick.

As far as I understand English, professors do not give their specific opinions to a GE class to ensure said class doesn't just reiterate what the professor believes on a test. Also as far as I understand, bad grades are always the teachers fault and have nothing to do with quality of work.
Well thos was my first semester at college and I had just as bad problems. I for example got a C on one of my courses and I was the third highest grade. Sometimes professor are the very least thing they hope to be...good teachers.
I would still report it to the dean. An A is an A and if you deserved one based off your work alone and not the fact that you and the professor had difference of opinion then you should get that A, not settle for a B.

Teachers are supposed to be unbiased, my friend.

That is some huge BS. Report him.
Damn, that's the most retarded reason I've ever heard for docking marks. FYL.
