My teacher sent me a really passive aggressive email. any ideas of how to respond in a passive aggressive way without getting in trouble. here's some context for what the email was about. So I had to submit something online but I'm having issues doing it. I figured out a way to do it but he wants me to do it a different way. the way he wanted me to do it didn't work so I asked him if I could just do it my way. he told me that I'm the only one having the issue and asking him if it's ok to submit it my way would be a burden for him to grade(which honestly it wasn't, all it would take him is an extra minute) he also said that I should develop some persistence and figure out the issue. (this was an assignment due 2 months ago and the semester is almost over, he said that if I don't get it in I'll get a 0 for it. that's why I asked for him to grade it the way I submitted it.)

so any ideas on how to respond. ​

I kinda had the same issue before and Ik it SUCKS!!

Respond him by saying like “I really tried my best to follow your method and I tried many different ways to do it but it seems like that method doesn’t work for me somehow, so could you please accept my own method since I couldn’t do it in your way? My sincere apology for your inconvenience”

I made it as much formal as I can so that u don’t get in trouble haha.
But if he again sends aggressive email, report him or let your parents send email to them.
