Injustice at the University

*TRADUCIR AL ESPAÑOL*
During this year, I have been studying at the University and it has been kind of hard because of the transition from the USA to Mexico back again, having the physics class the hardest class but the most unjust being Algebra because of my lazy teacher.
During the “semester” of classes (being around 3 and a half month of classes and 2 months of vacations), the teacher taught us like 2 months or 2 and a half moths, in addition to that, he never compensated us with the homeworks nor with the exams, he did not count us the homeworks and some of my classmates and friends got lower test scores in the grades of the units for example 2.7 instead of 6.0, lowering very low his/her grade.
During the 3rd unit, the teacher promised us that he would count when he did not assist to teach us (and also to other group) to not affect us in the subjects we did not cover, because of his personal matters.
And it happened again.
He did not count many of the homeworks of many students, assigned wrong test grades to students and he was going something that would put him in the verge of being fired, not turning on the grades on the required day; he was going to do it 4 days later and everyone would have 0.0 in that unit and everyone would have failed.
Many people failed and they are looking what the can do with him, even me that passed the class with a good grade but I find it unjust.

Nobody can give you freedom. Nobody can give you equality or justice or anything. If you're a man, you take it.
