Unbelievable!..
I recently took a US History test, i didn't study, never do. We had notes on the board, but i never take em. But this time the teacher decides to make the test a 'Open Note Test' so i was like ah too bad. But I didn't have any notes so I just started the test. I heard the teacher say something about to put that it was a note test on the top of the paper. Then she said she was gonna grade really hard on it since we could use our notes. And I was thinkin, well I'm not gonna use any notes so maybe she'll be lenient on me. But anyway, i put 'No Notes' on the top of my paper, to show that I used no notes, and I didn't turn any in. So I take the test, and it is pretty tough, wishing I studied, but I knew I at least got a B.
The next day we get our tests back and the teacher circled 'no notes' on my paper and marked -10! I was like wth, she took of 10 points for me not having any notes?! So I am kinda puzzled and mad and start asking here what the problem was. But my friend beat me to it, and ask what the deal was. She said that we where suppose to put 'Open Note Test' on the top of the paper, so if we didn't we got -10 points! Wtf! It lowered my 77 to a 67 and she failed me just because I put 'No Notes' on the top of my paper. Then I'm like bi**h.. Just thinking it and how much of an a** she could be to fail me for that. Plus she didn't even grade leniently, I would have another 3 points from something, which would bring me to an 80. Oh and its even worse for my friend because he put 'Note Test' instead of 'Open Note Test' and he got -10 points..
THEN she tells us that if you turned in your notes then you got 10 extra points! I was like the sh**! All the people that had their notes at least had 85+. So there where several 100+ grades because of this! And here I am with a 67 because i put 'No Notes' on my paper and didn't use any notes. So i was arguing with her for a few seconds but she is so thickheaded that you can't get anything threw to her. My parents even know, I showed them and they where like all well, she will never change her mind, theres no point in arguing. Man I was so pissed off for the rest of the day.. Dam. i figured I mgith have gotten a 'handicap' for not using notes, but no i lose 10 points and miss out on the chance of having an extra 10 points on my test.
So that was pretty gay, I mean A test is suppose to grade you on your knowledge of the information, not how you write something on the top of your page! Anyways.. just thought I'd blow off some steam here.. What do yall think?
