This reminds me of my final essay in my Politics class.

Me: Hey Mr.B! How did I do on my essay?

Mr.B: I really liked it! As a matter of fact, this is the best work you've done in the semester!

Me: Really? I can't wait to see it!

Reads papaer, 65%

Me: (Facepalm)
65% is considered really good at UK universities, lol.

Seriously? I'd need like an 85% average to get into the program I'm looking into.

Dun make sense to be that harsh but wouldn't say she's necessarily cheating you by giving you a 3/4 since you did make a mistake on that last one. It's harsh but with it being a short assignment maybe she wants no mistakes. That said if she's grading others less harshly maybe she's hating on you.

English teachers are the worst. They're normally pretty hot but they're annoying, at least the female ones (only had 1 male one though not counting teachers who teach multiple subjects). My mium's sister is one and she doesn't help their rep lol.
edit: mium=mum. It's dbzf slang.

Yah but it wasn't wrong. The sentence I was copying had a comma there too, so I don't know what her deal is.

Also my school doesn't have an English teacher under the age of 55 lol.

I honestly don't see what's wrong with that sentence. Commas are pretty flexible as to where you can throw them.

Are you still in high school?

She took a lot of points off for that sentence which is absurd. Her grading is very inconsistent too because I see some issues with the other sentences that she didn't correct.

This is not to say you're a bad writer or anything. I am saying it because I got red marks on some of the types of sentence structures that you did there. In my first year at College, I had to change a lot because my high school teachers were stupid. I was lucky enough to get a great writing teacher in College who was very hard on me. I wish I could show you how red my first paper was for college. Nevertheless, he was hard on me so he could get me to write well. Eventually, I got an A in his class.

I was told to never start sentences with but, to never put a comma before which (which I did in this post LOL,) and I used to get a number of red marks about commas until I learned the rules for them.

Either way, you should report her if you feel like she isn't doing her job correctly.

I'm in my last year of high school right now.

And the funny part was, I didn't even make the sentence structures for any of these. These came straight from the english textbook, and I pretty much had to change the words of their sentences with my own. So I really don't see how she can even take marks away lol.

Damn favouritism. It's why I gave up trying to ace all my tests in school. I'm in agreement with the others; you should indeed talk to another member of faculty about this.

Unluckily I haven't been able to talk to her yet. She wasn't here today, and I want to talk to her before approaching the head of the department. And I'm not going to be there tomorrow, so it'll have to wait.

idk but a good GPA is 3.0 here and thats around a B or so (85) pretty easy to get if you don't slack off every day (thats me :'( 2.7 AND STRONG!

I guess you would deserve some points off, but if you think about it if its 3/4, you did technically get 1 question wrong which would get you a 3/4, but f*** the schools KILL HER. unless of course half credit and such, idk just go complain about favoritism, huge NONO

I write an essay that's only 1,500 words when it's supposed to be 2,500 words and get a 173/200, and you get one question wrong and get a 75%? Complain immediately!

my lecturers were always far more strict about word-count than punctuation
