[Don Plumley]

The Japanese in me agrees with the "there's only x weeks left"; "success is the best revenge"; etc. viewpoint. I'm not much of a boat rocker.

The rest of me knows that a bad grade has implications on college admission; there's value in standing up when you know you have been wronged; there's a lesson in case this happens again in College.

So I'm torn.

If you had more evidence from other students about the irrational behavior, I'd be inclined to have a chat with the Principal and Super. There is nothing you can do to change the Teacher's attitude or behavior - but you can save another group of kids from this arbitrary power-monger.
