I was one point away from a C-, so I took one answer, slightly changed it, and played dumb. I asked people around me what the correct answer was and be like "oh hmm ... I guess teacher got it wrong. Weird." I was creating witnesses.
I go up to Mrs. Biotch, explain HER mistake, and she stares at me with her cold red eyes, "this wasn't your answer when I graded it this morning." I could feel the enthusiasm leave my body and fear setting in.
She just handed me the test and said, "I'm not changing this. I don't know why would change your answer and come up to me like this." Well maybe it's because I didn't want a D Mrs. BIOTCH? DID YOU THINK ABOUT THAT?
Ironically, I always loved math and science. I got an A in Honors Algebra in 8th grade. So I just chalked it up as Mrs. Biotch being the typical biotch teacher.
She definitely had her favorites too and made it blatantly obvious. If I was one of them, she would have looked the other way.
