Have you ever felt your work was unfairly marked by a specific teacher?

There's a teacher that I suspect has a problem with me and now with year 12, she decides to screw me over by deducting marks from my SAC without properly justifying her reasons. I'm yet to privately speak to her about this but I'm not sure what I should do.

Just ask her why, and if she doesn't respond then talk to someone with more authority.

roflmao i remember there was this teacher that just hated my friend back in year 10, i wrote an essay and it was A+. Then in the second semester my friend used my essay and handed it in and got only a B for it. Shows how biased teachers are :P lol

yes yes that has happened to me.
In chemistry, kurrymuncher and myself got the same question wrong in a redox titration SAC, but she gave him an "Outstanding" where as i only got an "excellent". :(
i guess she's just racist

It's more the exam that saves your bacon from crap SAC marks.  Remember, if your exam marks are higher than your SAC marks, then your SAC marks will be moderated according to your exam result and vice versa.

Well nothing too important but I am pretty sure my old history teacher was racist...or something. A friend and I were doing a bunch of questions. Mine were detailed paragraphs with coloured in pictures (yay me primary school work do brain no hurt ftw plox!!!), one kid done shitty two worded answers and coloured in with red pen...I had to redo all the pictures because of the shade of green for the grass I used while he got a well done stick...

My italian teacher hates me and Im pretty sure she always marks me lower than her 'star' student. How is it that I always do good in the grammar part (only one answer possible so no teacher judgement) but never do well in the wrtiting part(which is assesed by the teacher)

I remember bak in Yr9, this student teacher absolutely hated me.

I got a C+ for an assignment she marked, while the class dumb ass got an A.

My actual teachers asked me wot she's given me and they were pretty shocked when I told them... and I didn't get on with my actual teachers that well either, so that's saying something.

Now the student teacher is a fully fledged teacher @ the same skool ;D

I feel like my english language teacher is biased against everyone. He has never given close to full marks (even with the year 11 dux last year), while other teachers give full marks for essays very often. This kinda makes SAC marking a bit worrying...

While you all tell anecdotal stories of teachers hating you, I remember describing my situation last year of my English teacher unfairly giving me GOOD grades (in my opinion).
