He takes points off for the dumbest things ever if you're line on a graph is just a slim margin off from where it should be he takes off points if you don't show every dayum step on how to get the answer but still get the answer right he takes off points if you don't put something like = 0 at the end of each step while solving something he takes off points
this guy is ridiculous and my math grade is in jeopardy because of it

That sounds like what a math teacher SHOULD take off for.
I'm not sure how picky he is about graphs, but they should be as accurate as you can make them, especially if you have graph paper they ought to be particular.
Every step needs to be shown in order to demonstrate you understand how to get the answer, and didn't use a calculator to cheat (assuming it's disallowed), didn't cheat off of someone, didn't look up the answer, and didn't guess. Not only that, but doing every step greatly improves your math skills, and it will prove useful later in your school career when you're doing much harder stuff like calculus.
You have to state what the equation or function equals, even if you solve it all out. Whether or not you put these seemingly tiny details on makes a big difference later on, especially if you're working with computers.
Sounds like your math teacher is doing a good job, and you're just making excuses for performing poorly in class. You should probably talk to your teacher when he's available to get help, and see what other details you're not aware of, or don't understand. |

Um, when your teacher takes off points for being off the line a bit. I don't care what else he is doing, only reason he should be doing this is if he is a good teaching teacher, which I don't know if he is.

| the only thing i 100% agree on is the graph one and the setting the equation equal to 0, you need that in order for it to be seen as factorable |

1st. Lets say you want to be an architect, but your line is just slightly off. I'm sure in architecture you need to be very precise. 2nd. That helps to see what you did wrong, and how you either messed it up or how you figured it out. 3rd. This you need to do to show that you finished it. |

Taking off points for a line that's millimeters off of where it should be? Are you serious? And I realize you should know all the steps, but should I have to do the division every time when I clearly have memorized by now that 3 to the 3rd power is 27? Simple math that I shouldn't have to explain, I'm not even performing poorly. |

They don't draw it by hand they use a computer |

| You guys are so hardcore about this. The teacher obviously has nothing better to do, and he shouldn't taking points off for a slightly off graph. I just draw a line that looks semi-straight and move on. If your teacher is that much of an ass then he should be doing something where you don't have student making mistakes. You're In high school, not line school. |
