uh... in my defense on this one, the school i went to just fired my geometry teacher because they found out that her students all went to the other teacher and asked for help because our teacher was an idiot. she's the reason i graduated with a 3.7. i was also grounded for a month for having a d in her class. it took them 8 years to figure it out at the school though...
