How do you get an English teacher fired from her job (and please be serious)?

• Honest to God, there is a horrible teacher at my school who deliberately delayed me in my English course to prevent me from missing a deadline to apply to university. I stormed out of her class saying "it'll be your job" and I want to back that up! This teacher is a really bad teacher, take my word for it. How do I get this ***** fired from her job (and please be serious)?

  From a teacher's perspective... First, I am basing my answer on the informaton given in your question, quote: "How do you get an English teacher fired from her job (and please be serious)? Honest to God, there is a horrible teacher at my school who deliberately delayed me in my English course to prevent me from missing a deadline to apply to university. I stormed out of her class saying "it'll be your job" and I want to back that up! This teacher is a really bad teacher, take my word for it. How do I get this ***** fired from her job (and please be serious)?" Second, it's hard to give you the serious answer you want because your question really isn't very serious. A teacher cannot be fired for preventing you from getting your application in on time. YOU should have taken care of YOUR business beforehand, not at the last minute. It's not her fault YOU didn't do what you needed to do ahead of the deadline. Accept responsibility for your actions, dearie. You missed the deadline on your own. You made a choice to be late in getting it prepared, and now you are suffering the consequences. Simple as that. How is it possible for her to delay your in your English course (on purpose??) so that you miss a deadline for a school application? Who was filling out the application--you or her? If you asked her for a reference letter, I certainly hope you asked her well in advance of the deadline. Even so, reference letters are not due on the same date as the application, generally, because they are almost always sent in independently of the application anyway. How could this teacher possibly have delayed your getting your application in on time?? Making statements such as "It'll be your job" is just silly. And you can't back it up because you have NO grounds to do so. Unless she commits some heinous crime, there is really very little you can do without documented proof of any unprofessional behavior, practices, etc. You could try going to your principal about this, but be prepared to be laughed out of his/her office with this ridiculous claim. Drop it now and stop making such a fool of yourself. So, take a deep breath, look in the mirror and tell yourself that YOU messed up and will have to make a late application (schools usually do that--call and find out when your last possible application date is or when the next round of applications will be accepted), and face the fact that your teacher is NOT the one at fault here. YOU are. Grow up a little bit, and go to your teacher and apologize for making a complete a** of yourself in her class. Then, settle down and get to work because you are going to have to really pull it out to get back in this woman's good graces. Hopefully, she has just blown off your outburst and nonsensical accusation and has gone on with her life since it happened. She might have mentioned it to the principal, however, so you may have some questions to answer from that quarter, You'd better be prepared for that. Yes, it is disappointing to miss a deadline for something important, but be sure to lay the blame squarely where it belongs, not on someone who does not deserve it. Part of being an adult is being able to recognize one's own mistakea and own up to them. You have some growing to do. Good luck.i
