we talked to the teacher already and administrators, and nothing works. the test we got was a 25 questions long and it was worth 100 points..it was a pop test too so we did not even get to study for it not that we would have known what to study for because we have not done anything

Sounds like my high school economics teacher. He sucked the will to learn out of everyone. All he did was show crummy filstrips dated from the 1950's!! (I was in HS in 1991!) He was SO boring and terrible, all he talked about was this flea market that he sold stuff at, and he would flash this wad of one dollar bills around like he was some rich guy or something. All he taught me was that tenure is a BAD thing.
All you can do is try to break into his desk where the grade book is and change your grades with white out....

I would go to the teacher personally and explain to he/she that you are looking to bring your grade up. If the teacher knows it is you personally that you told on her, I would appologize for not talking to he/she first. Ask for an extra-credit assignment, or maybe ask your teacher to let you work ahead.
There are usually ways to get around these things.
But understand that the teacher does have a right not to let you. But you as the student are trying to get the most out of your education and excel in your course of study.
I hope this helps

You must be getting a quiz after that or may be during the movie. You should read all the questions of the quiz before the movie starts and try looking for answers in the video. You can also divide questions among you friends in the class. It worked for me andOne more thing always try to be nice and sweet to teacher. Because that matters a lot.

That's the worst...
I would suggest talking to the teacher about it, but if you've already done that; try talking to an administrator at the school about how you are not learning anything and only watch movies and how it's not a productive class.

well, if you want that A bad enough do some work outside of class. Find a tutor or someone whose thorough in economics, and or business accounting. Or maybe on a weekend if your not busy, go to the library and find BOOKS not just internet data on accounting. If you dont find anything relevant, check out the internet.
As far as teachers are concerned, some are just plain *****. Gotta grin and bear it and do your own work in the feild to make them feel like royal assholes!

Did you get an A on the test? Isn't that what you wanted?
Instead of 'telling on the teacher' you should have asked the teacher for extra credit or a special project.
