The over of overs, I'll die before getting a job

Well, as the title says, some teachers shouldn't be teacheing, specially the ones with favorite students, one thing is to have a favorite student, and another thing to *favor* that favorite student or students while disfavoring or even failing other students just because you don't like them.
A real-life case: a few years ago, some other classmates and I had this programming teacher (we do Java, no, I'm not a Jeet). At first, I was doing well, but he failed me and others.
The final exam came around. I did a fantastic job, I deserved an 8 on that exam, but he failed me with a 3. The reason?
I didn't have time to do something insignificant that didn't affect the code, but hey, he's the teacher and knows better, right? Well, no.
He favored certain students. The class clown had a 3.8 final grade, and he passed him to the next year, even though his grades in the other subjects weren't very good, borderline failing.
People with basic programming knowledge or who engaged in bad programming practices? He gave them an 8 and sent them to the next year.
In my case, I had good grades in the rest of the classes, 7s and higher.
I repeated the year and it was more of the same. First exam, I did perfectly. I deserved a 7.5 on the exam. What did he do? He gave me a 3.
In class, in front of all the students, he gave a reason for failing. I went to talk to him privately, and he gave a completely different reason. Not only that, but he started to denigrate me as a person.
Second exam, another 3. It doesn't seem fair to me. Now, instead of him reviewing my exam, I wanted another teacher or teachers to review it with him in front of me. Surprise! According to the grading criteria, I should have gotten a 7, not a 3.
Last exam, more of the same, giving grades without reviewing the code, only based on favorites or not.
He passes favorites, no matter how bad they are at programming or even how horrible they are at programming. Why? Pure and simple favoritism.
Do you have a student who cheats from the smart guys in class but left alone can't really code? Passed.
A student who complains that they can't learn basic JavaScript in a month (parse JSON)? Passed, of course.
A student who does good programming practice on a 2.5-hour timed exam whose program does 85-90% of what's required? FAILED.
I spoke to the head of studies about the issue.
He told me, "If you can't get an 8 or higher in programming, you shouldn't be studying this." He asked me about the rest of my classes and what grades I got.
I told him my grades in the other classes were 7s, 8s, and 9s and he can check them right now if he doesn't believe me. His response? "Grades aren't that important."
Yeah, my balls, less than a minute ago you told me that if I don't get an 8 or higher, I shouldn't be studying this, but now that you see that the rest of my grades are high, it doesn't matter? Programming with JS and php, databases, IT systems, QnA testing? Doesn't that matter? Having 7s and the occasional 8s and 9s doesn't matter?
Shit teachers and shit educational system
No wonder why americans have school shootings every now and then
