Every so often, you come across an authority figure who just wants to see you fail. For many people, that starts in school. For this Redditor, the dynamic wound up manifesting itself in something completely out of their control. This thread was posted to Reddit's r/EntitledPeople subreddit by u/Dziobic.

 

The original poster was locked out of their school account and was not able to log in to even look at any assignments. After repeatedly trying to explain the predicament to their 'old school' teacher, the teacher refused to help and made an announcement that anyone who is not able to log in for any reason will fail the assignment automatically. This was just an extra level of cruelty because she clearly meant to shame and embarrass the student. As for the technical troubles, we get the sense that this teacher somehow assumed that the student was using technology to get out of doing the work, which is a troubling and cynical assumption to make before listening to all the facts. Keep scrolling below for the full story. For more, take a look at this college student's malicious compliance.

    Font - all good, except the next time we had informatics that password wasnt working, so i ask her about it and she said "no way it isnt working, it should." i responded "well it doesnt, do you mind resetting it?" and then she just went "no." so i am now sitting trying to figure out what is wrong with the password. and then she loudly announces to the class "whoever doesnt login for any reason, gets an f." so now me and my girlfriend are mad as f because it happened to her too,

    Font - and we have no way to get into our accounts, which means we got an f. nex class i ask her to reset it too, but she responds "no, dont ask me because i will never do that for you" so now i am getting Fs because she is too stupid to just reset the password. and it happened like before the christmas break, and now. there is like 5 more weeks untill the end of the half year, and i am probably gonna get more and more Fs, i will talk to my teacher (like the one that is supposed to watch over us

    Font - JosKarith 1 day ago Complain as high as you can about this. She's setting you up to fail and is messing with your education. I had a teacher like that and I let it go on too long because I was afraid of confrontation with authority. My grades in that subject never recovered. 245 Reply Share

    Font - stripeymouse3050 - 1 day ago edited 6 hr. ago . Go to the principle hon. This needs to ve handled fast. Let me explain why. My daughter and half her class had that problem. She got grounded for failing because she didn't tell us what was going on (she is at that stage she doesn't communicate what is going on). Got a call to the guidance counselor to find out what the problem is. She finally tells us and that she brought it up to (we'll call him Chad) and he didn't care. He even told her i

    Font - GC informs us she has other parents from my daughters class that have the same failing issues so we move to a conference room. P calls in Chad who comes in with an "I'm better than all of you attitude" and proceeds to say if they didn't pay attention when he told them the new pw its not his problem. That date this happened my daughter was out with strep. He told both the P and GC he was not going to tell the kids the pw because they need to learn a lesson.

    Font - Now let me explain I'm a non confrontational person. For a reason. I tend to go from 0 to death row in a flip, especially when it comes to my kids. P and GC looks at me constantly through the exchange and see the rapid leg movement that shows my anger is rising. Chad made the mistake of saying these particular kids were "too stupid to pay attention and he was going to make sure they failed and learned a lesson".....switch flipped. I had him against the wall (not physically, just by being

    Font - She back to passing btw. She got the option to just have the assignments counted as C's but she wanted to do them because she thought she could get better than a C. She did. She got 3 b's and two A's. If the principal doesn't listen have your parents go up the ladder. You and your gf don't deserve this hon. Its not fair if you don't even get a fighting chance. Edit: I didn't put it in and thought it could show how far down this goes. My daughter is in 8th grade. So this isn't just a high

    Font - Icy-Revolution1706 1 day ago Email the teacher and cc the head and anyone else relevant into it, (head of department, deputy heads etc) requesting a password reset and mention that you've been told you'll get an F if you can't log in. Politely point out this is unfair if they're physically preventing you from accessing the work and that you will need to take this further if they're unable to assist you. You're there to be educated and supported, not treated like a naughty 5 year old.

    Font - Mangodras 1 day ago Where do you live? Maybe there is another teacher able to reset your password. Maybe you even have an IT- Department.... you could try asking there. That teacher you're describing could get in serious trouble, depending on the country.

    Font - Street-Flow688 - 1 day ago Complain, Complain, Complain!! And if you can, get your parents to complain too. Start with your home room teacher, then vice principal, then principal, then superintendent. Do not allow this woman to get away with this. The sooner you start standing up for yourself, the easier and easier it will be as you get older. Most adults are just tall children. There's no need to feel intimidated.

    Font - Useful Experience423. 1 day ago Tell your parents and ask to speak with the head of your year, preferably with one of your parents present. Just asking for a meeting with your parents present as witnesses should be enough to pique his curiosity, at which point you tell him everything - and be sure to mention you're not the only one. I pretty much guarantee it'll be sorted by the end of the day, with no meeting required.
