Question

Country: United States of America State: Oregon I am a High School student and I was doing a assignment I should be doing in my Theatre Lab1 class by doing a part and helping out. Well I did that and the teacher said it was okay but then a different group that I was also helping out by saying a line said that they needed me to do a bigger part and I said no because I was doing something already and I didn't want to do something that I didn't have to do because you don't want to do a long part because you had allot to do already, but then the teacher say you have to do it and says if you don't you get an F even though you are already doing an assignment. Is this fair or should I not do the assignment since I am already doing one like I am supposed to?

Answer

You may complain to the principal if you feel the assignment is not done fairly--he or she may override the teacher...
