my prof is really cool on grading, case in point, dropping the lowest grade. seeing as I have pulled straight A's, I could even skip my final and pass
Sadly for me, high school teachers are meanies... especially the tests they give... I mean i get we're a "gifted and talented" school... But it's still mean to put so much pressure on us...
I mean in maths class the teacher teaches simple things like basic algebra but the tests are (in our ciriculum) year 11 standard.... for a year 9 test....
wow, thats some convoluted logic. teaching grade 9 math and expecting 11th year tests to come in with A's.
ON top of that the principle goes and says to all the newbies when you get in the school at the orientation

At this school we do not reccommend doing out of school tutoring or coaching as it puts too much stress on our students...
Really? She says that, gives us 11th year tests AND expects us to get A+'s?!
WTF
how do people like that get jobs?
All i can say to you, Eve, is that for every ounce of woe you experience under 'harsh'/demanding teachers will likely only benefit you later on. Look at many of the other kids around you...and how sadly undereducated they are. Or others - to call a space a spade - downright ignorant or stupid. It's a damned shame what the 'average' student is asked to do in the USA. I ought to know, 'cause i literally sucked at much math, and still do. In college, I had to take remedial math courses just to be able to reach towards the couple of lower level ones to get my degree...and it was painfully difficult (and terribly embarrassing), with many attempts on my part to pass those classes.

Think of yourself as being somewhat ahead of the curve in learning, and therefor ahead in the game of life. Try to never stop learning, try to use much of what you were taught, no matter what age you are of what profession you ultimately choose. Use it or lose it is REAL. I've also found, as one gets older, that you find out just how much you *don't* know as the world around you gets bigger.

One last comment... be glad you're not a product of the typical USA public school system. I swear, it seems like ignorance and stupidity are only growing in some ways. We're still sadly lagging far behind many other countries in education. It's deplorable.
