Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Step1
Accept the fact that even though your teacher's a complete fool, you're better off getting along with him.
Step2
Understand that your teacher knows more than you do. She may not know more about the topic at hand, but she's experienced if only due to her advanced age. Respect that.
Step3
Communicate with your horrible teacher. Even if he's stonewalling you, at least you can say you tried to strike up a conversation. Over time, you might just melt his icy heart. And you'll feel better, too.
Step4
Accept that you and your crappy teacher are both doing something you'd rather not be doing on such a beautiful day. Cut her some slack.
Step5
Work hard in class. Make sure you don't simply hate a teacher for not being as easy as you'd like. If you're putting in an effort, then you'll have room to complain if you're still falling behind. And if you're working hard, the teacher will be less likely to make your life miserable.
