Is OTHER wrong in the post ? POST : Let me start off with a little backstory. My culinary teacher despises me. I had a 97% average in her class and always aced the tests and did all my assignments, yet she still tried to find a way to pick on me or get me in trouble with my parents. I also had 5 assignments that I turned in (one of which she lost and it was a test grade) but she had 0’s put in the gradebook. (This will come up later)


Now, last week on Thursday during her class I was called down to the principals office for “selling weed to students”. This is a whole different story but basically I was accused of selling stuff over 3 months but they didn’t have enough evidence to expell me or take any action so I got off with a warning. (I know, it was stupid of me but all of this stuff happened a while ago.) 


When I got back to class, everyone was talking about it because they had known what happened (I have a reputation at school). My teacher overhears them talking about how I got in trouble with the AP and deputy so she approaches me and asks what happened. I didn’t feel comfortable with telling her because I didn’t want that to change her perspective on me and it’s none of her business anyways. I simply told her “It’s nothing.” and she didn’t like that. She got really upset and told me that she’ll figure it out. I didn’t really think anything of it.


The next day I walk in to class and go up to my teacher to talk about my grade as the grading period was ending the week after. I told her nicely that I had five 0’s for assignments that I turned in and to please fix the grades. She then randomly brings up what happened yesterday and starts to lecture me on how “I should have told her the truth” and how “I need to turn my life around”. Completely unnecessary. I simply said “This has nothing to do with my assignments" because I really needed my grades to be fixed and I had been asking her for weeks to fix them but she never did. This really made her upset and she never fixed my grade.


Now, 2 days later my assignments still have 0’s and my grade has been updated from a 97% to a 77%. She also decided to take action and send a very detailed (5 paragraphs, crazy) email to my parents about my performance in her class and how I was being “borderline rude and disrespectful.” She talked about how it was very rude of me to not be honest with her and tell her  what happened between me and the AP and that when she confronted me I didn’t react with good manners.


Am I the asshole for not telling her or for reacting the way I did?
