My cousin just got an A+ in Civics from a Fundie teacher who hated her
She's a die hard Dem, part of Team Obama and all - going to University of Colorado. I hadn't talked with her since the term ended, but I remember from before she was complaining about her Civics teacher saying he was a rabid Fundie who browbeat students who disagreed with her.

Turns out my cousin got the highest marks in the class, and this is after a few VERY heated exchanges with her and the professor.

Well, kudos for the Fundie Prof for being fair :) And kudos to my cousin for fighting to the death!

1. It happens. You will sometimes get good grades from a teacher you dislike.
I remember there was this one creative writing professor in college who I just could not stand. Her attitude and teaching style totally rubbed me the wrong way. I also found her very cliquish and that she seemed to play favorites with certain students.

So when it came time for the end of the year evaluations, I just totally ripped into her and trashed her.

And yet, when the report card came, I got a B+. After that, I sort of felt guilty for being so harsh on her.

2. I had a spanish teacher who hated me. I never knew why except I wasn't good in languages. Was when I
was about 23 and trying to get my last half credit for university. I dropped out before the end of the first term.
