Today, I found out that my writing teacher entered in one of my paper grades wrong. After many emails, she said she can't change my grade unless I fax her the original. I need that grade fixed so I can keep my scholarship. I can’t find the paper anywhere. That one paper could cost me $30,000. FML

Same thing different taste

Underfunded and underappreciated

Today, I got back the essay I wrote about how my country's education system is fucked. At one point, I made a spelling mistake. My teacher wrote a note about it, basically calling me illiterate, and telling me to pay attention in school instead of whining about it. She misspelled "school". FML

This is why you save your papers on the computer.

#1: By original, the teacher means the graded copy so that she can verify that the OP isn't BSing her about the wrong grade thing. And, OP, that really sucks. I hope you find it.

keyword is could...........keep looking

I hate that kind of shit. My teachers give me back so many papers I wouldn't have a chance of keeping them all, so when they mess up I can't really do anything about it.

FYL teachers who aren't organized enough to hold onto papers in case of discrepencies like this should just quit, or at least move to a smaller school where they have less on their plates. And she wants you to fax it? I didn't know we were living in 1992.

I hate teachers. When this happens they need to give you extra time. It's really not your fault it's theirs.

No people, he does not deserve it! The bitch should make sure her records are right!

I'm sorry dude. Certainly NOT a YDI! That chick shouldn't be so mean about it. She's probabl some bitter person who never got her scholarship and ended up being a teacher so she's playing devils advocate and messing up your fate! I hate people like that! If i were her dude, i'd change it for you, even if you didn't still have the paper. Hope it works out!

27, why is the OP irresponsible? Maybe the teacher should actually do her job and record grades correctly. FML just harbors people who ride the bitter bus, or in 27's case, sucks the bitter balls.

They never said they didn't save it. They only said they CANT FIND IT. Because obviously no one on this forum has ever not been able to find something. You also have to keep in mind that its the end of the school year. A lot of people who go to school are moving back out of dorms at this time, so its possible it got lost in the process. If all else fails, you can print out a new copy and see if they'll re-grade it? It might not end up the same though. Hope you find it =

dude, i am so sorry. hope you find it. btw, for future reference, save it on a floppy AND on the computer. can never be to careful. good luuck. and you might wanna start saving your cash just in case.......

The teacher needs where they wrote the grade on the physical copy, not a digital copy to be re graded.
