Can a teacher change your grade because of your ';attitude';?

The other day in English, we had a pop quiz on The Oddessey. I originally got 100%, and on the quiz I wrote ';a waste of paper'; because there were like two answers on it. I wasn't trying to offend her in any way, but somehow she found it offending and wrote on it ';Sassy! Bold! I'm sorry I wasted your paper on studies! I didn't bother recording this grade - Waste of my time! Zero! Change your attitude! FINAL! No discussion!'; This grade affected my overall grade by 5%, which is two whole grades. I don't think it's right how she can change my grade because of my ';attitude';. What do your think?





Sorry so long!

Answer, please!Can a teacher change your grade because of your ';attitude';?
he/she can not do that, if your in high school or middle school tell your parentsCan a teacher change your grade because of your ';attitude';?
no it isn't right - if she didn't like what you wrote she had a right to say it was not related to the question - she had a right to say it jumped track - she had a right to say this assignment isn't about paper it is about ______



talk to her - tell her you see her point (if you do) - apologize or live with the results - what she did is not against the law - what you did was not against the law BUT



it was her class

her test

and that is how life works.
So what was the point of writing :';a waste of paper'; on the quiz? Are you part of the Save a Tree foundation? What possible reason is there for writing this on the quiz other than challenging your teacher's methods or authority?



As far as her methodology was concerned, she may have chosen a different alternative (detention, parent conference, or something else), but this seemed to have gotten your attention. Maybe next time, you'll keep your unsolicited opinion to yourself and enjoy your 100.
Your attitude failed and therefore she took that into account when grading your paper.



It's her classroom and you're the student. She makes the rules. Maybe next time you'll think about being rude.
