So my French teacher demands that we all should be on one level - the highest. Most of my class had never studied this language before. This is the subject we won't have on our final exam, but she treats it like it's the most important one. The problem is - she doesn't explain it well enough so we could actually learn anything, but she still demands that we can do as well as native speakers. I'm (as many before me) studying my a- off just to pass and so is most of my class. I've even heard that she drove one girl 3 years ago to suicide.

Now we're having online classes, but she's just sending us exercises. Last time she gave us stuff she didn't explain. I did my part collaborating with like 5 dictionaries and sent my work to her. The teacher replied the same day with something like: "I am disappointed with you. I feel like you're not caring about this subject at all. I taught you all you needed (which is a lie) so your work would be more ambitious. Correct all of your work and send it to me if you want to prove that you care for french at all." That was enough for me! I've tried correcting everything and added something from the bottom of my heart. I wrote that it's not my fault, if the topic wasn't even explained by her in any form. I told her that I care about subject and I'm slowly starting to get it, but if she wants me to know everything about something I have no idea about - then she should at least try to explain it to me.

I don't know if did right, but I think I did better than my classmates, who have payed for private tutoring.
