You didn’t like school. You were not doing well at school and then you dropped out at a certain point and acting seems to be an escape for you. Now, you’re a big star, you’re becoming a bigger star, so what would you say to kids like you?

The only time she can teach well…

Is when she’s being observed by the principal.  Seriously.  Today, we actually had a decent lesson in English for the first time all year, and it was only because Ms. Russo was observing her.  Under pressure, she kept on track and we kind of learned stuff! So now the administration won’t know how off track and frustrating she is all the time.  Great.

Also, I have a B in there right now.  Mostly because she’s had last semester’s grades carry over to this semester (which we weren’t aware of) but weighted our essays at 20% and tests at 10% (it was vice versa last semester) which makes all of our grades drop about 3% because she gave us all crappy grades on essays at the beginning to motivate us.

I don’t think teachers should be allowed to make one semester carry over to the next.

Plus, she is so unreliable with grades that I don’t really know exactly what I have in there.  It says I have an 88.5, but that’s with a 0 on a quiz I made up a few days ago, and about 10 assignments and 2 tests not in the gradebook, not to mention an essay that I got an 8 on that she, conveniently, hasn’t put in the gradebook - it would really help my grade.

My plan from here on out: Do all my work for English and try to make sure she can’t give me a B, and ensure she enters grades correctly.  She can make up every excuse she wants about her computer crashing, or the online gradebook software being confusing, I don’t give a shit.  It’s her job to teach and give us grades in a timely manner.  She fails at both.  Maybe if Ms. Russo watches her enter grades, she’ll get better at it.
