Even if you go to the principle and he agrees with you.. being disliked for the rest of the term could hurt you.
Swallow it and then file a complaint when you are no longer her student.
It will be taken more seriously if you wait.
I'm inclined to agree with this way. Write a complaint or w/e, and circle a date on your calander when you are not her student anymore to turn it in.

send an email to your parents saying that she molested you, or key her car

You are in high school. Virtually no one in authority positions is going to have a problem with a teacher taking concerns about a student to a parent, as long as she isn't overtly racist or out of line insulting about it or something. You didn't give us the content of the e-mail she sent, but no complaint you file, now or later, based solely on a teacher divulging information to a student's parents that the student felt shouldn't have been divulged will ever EVER result in any negative consequences for the teacher. I'm not saying what she did was ok or that it wasn't really disrespectful, but teachers simply have a ton of authority over their students in high school. It really sucks sometimes. My advice would be to go and have a frank discussion with your guidance counselor about the issue, or to get your parents, you, and the teacher all in the same room together. Just forget any notion of making any sort of formal complaint, and focus on having as good a relationship with your parents as possible, and try to salvage what relationship you can with your teacher.

I'd like to see the contents of the email you sent her. I'm inclined to think there's more to this than you're letting on, or you worded the email poorly. She's also within her rights to forward it to your parents as she's technically a guardian while you're at school. I can't see how she was 'absurdly rude' either.

doesnt that just make it easier for you to seduce her?

She's speaking to your parents and letting you in on it. What would've you prefer? She send it behind your back? I hope you never have an office job as you often get mails that aren't directed at you, but you are CCed because it's relevant to you. Just explain to your parents the situation. Suck it up. It'll be fine.

She's referring to you as if you're not there because her email is addressed to your parents, but she included you because she thinks you should know what she is writing to your parents. That isn't rude; that's letting you in on the conversation.
She emailed your Speech coach so that you can miss Speech prep. in order to take her quiz; this way you can't say, "Oh, I asked my Speech coach, I can't miss it at all," either because she doesn't trust you to ask him yourself or because she wants to make sure you don't get in trouble for skipping practice or something. (Also to make sure you aren't just lying to her about having practice.) She emailed your parents, because they're your guardians and they have every right to know about your academic performance and anything you said in school that she thinks your parents should know about.
You don't get that many rights in HS. Just how it works, bro.

She was pissed every time I did good on a test after calling me out as a bad student.
And then you're exactly doing what she wants you to do. And she'll be like: see? I knew you could do better than that! I was right you could do better, etc.
That's like being a puppet (unless you don't mind doing a lot of extra shit for how many years?)

Yes it is. Like setting the turn light. You just don't do it, otherwise you could be respected by the authorities. Nobody wants that. Stay in da hood.

so... she emailed your sponsors?

Everything in this post is correct. You're in high school.

As someone who works in a school helping solve student-student and student-teacher conflicts, here is my advice. First, of all, you have to think about it from her perspective, which is almost certainly identical to what Babylon posted. I'm sure she doesn't think she was being disrespectful. However, if you approach her at the end of school, when both of you have time to talk, you can probably communicate your concerns to her. The trick is to be humble, respectful, and phrase things from your own perspective. Do not get angry, do not be disrespectful yourself. Use language like, "I felt frustrated when x happened, or when you did y, I felt disrespected."
Remember the goal of talking to her is to get her to see things from your perspective, and to get her to empathize. The goal isn't for her to acknowledge that she did something wrong. If you can get her to see things from your point of view, then she probably will apologize, but don't go in with that as a goal or else you will be setting yourself up for failure, and her to get more upset. Sorry if this isn't clear, but I usually have these types of discussion in person. Good luck!

You did shitty on a test, your teacher gives you an opportunity to unfuck it and you tell her you can't because of an extracirricular activity. So she gives that person a heads up, and emails your parents to let them know what's up.
There's nothing rude about that. She's a teacher who wants you to succeed, and is old enough to know all of the bullshit excuses dumb high schoolers give to avoid things in life. That's a good teacher.

Good one =P
It's high school, not much you can do about it other than suck it up and do better on the next quiz/test/exam. Old teachers are virtually untouchable - the years of experience + union power means they can do whatever they want.

Get over it. Don't tell teachers anything you wouldn't want your parents (or anyone else) to hear.
I don't see anything wrong with her behavior (especially not "absurdly rude"), unless she told you affirmatively that anything you told her would be kept private.
Think of school as a low level job. Do what it takes to get to where you want to be next.
Why would you ever email a "personal question" to a high school teacher? What was the question?
|
Talk to her (teacher) about the email. Tell her you understand her concerns; but did not feel it was needed to address your parents on this matter. Oh while in conversation be sure to use words from this 50's slang website. It will help set her at ease and know that you see her as a "hip cat."

Well the thing is that he said it was a quiz, so he failed something thats worth about 0.1% of his mark and shes forcing him to do it again, doesn't really make sense
