So You Want to Ditch Ms. D? A (Slightly) Tongue-in-Cheek Guide to Getting a Teacher Fired in Florida (the Sunshine State, not the one from Napoleon Dynamite)

But before you grab your metaphorical pitchfork, hold on to your #2 pencils, because getting a teacher fired in Florida requires more than just epic dodgeball skills and a grudge.

Step 1: Channel Your Inner Sherlock Holmes (Minus the Deerstalker Hat, Probably Too Hot)
Unearthing the Evidence: You can't just complain about pop quizzes and bad jokes (although, feel free to vent to your therapist). You need a legitimate reason, something that qualifies as teacher misconduct. Think immoral conduct (yikes!), incompetence (think: using dodgeball scores for history grades), or a flagrant disregard for school rules (like, say, teaching breakdancing instead of long division... though that might be oddly entertaining).
Word to the Wise: Don't fabricate evidence. Remember, this is Florida, and you don't want to end up on the news for gator-related revenge schemes (it happens).
Step 2: Don't Be That Guy (or Girl)
The Art of Not Being a Drama Queen: Look, everyone has a bad day. Maybe Ms. D snapped at the class after a particularly brutal staff meeting involving lukewarm coffee and stapler malfunctions. Document a pattern of bad behavior, not a one-time outburst.
Tip: Share this article if you find it helpful.
The Power of Positivity: Have you tried...talking to Ms. D? Sometimes, a respectful conversation can clear the air. You might be surprised! (Although, if she offers dodgeball as a solution, run.)
Step The Halls of Justice (School Administration, That Is)
Assemble the Avengers (of Proper Documentation): Once you have your evidence, take it to the principal. Be clear, concise, and stick to the facts.
The Waiting Game: The school will investigate. This can take time, so channel your inner zen master and avoid social media rants about the evils of pop quizzes.
QuickTip: Let each idea sink in before moving on.

How to Survive the Rest of the Semester with Ms. D (Just in Case)?
Focus on the things you can control: your attitude, your effort, and maybe bringing a stress ball to class. Remember, knowledge is power (and hopefully, a good defense against dodgeball-based grading).
Remember, this is a humorous guide, and the goal should always be to resolve classroom issues constructively. But hey, a little laughter never hurts, even when dealing with fractions and pop quizzes.
