I was in the same situation last year, I think the teacher must of had a disability or something and he acted like he had mental problems, he looked freaky. So obviously, everyone pissed around in his lessons and made fun of him and we never got any work done. The grade I received was 4D's aswell but simply because we were not learning enough.. so I talked to the Head of Department and he said that by next year they would swap the teachers around.. but what was I meant to do in the meantime? So I chose to take matter into my own hands and because all our units and tasks and stuff are on the shared area on the school computers, I could access them. So basically, I was learning by myself and in around 3 months, my grade was boosted up to 4B's in the subject.
Then, that teacher quit because he was targetted and bullied by pupils and especially with the investigation, he left. So we had a new teacher come in and we actually started working properly and doing fun things and at the end of that year, I had the highest grade, 4A's (Distinction) and I didn't even feel that I tried that hard.
So instead of trying to complain which won't help and wont get get you anywhere, start studying it by yourself because its a brilliant subject and if you do it properly, it can be very interesting and rewarding.
