Why the hell would my teacher lie about this?

Last Friday my English teacher gave recommendations for if she thinks I'm ready to go to Gifted and Talented English cl. I marked off gifted and talented for English because everything I do in the cl is really easy. She however told lies to my parents through email that she recommends me for honors cl because I haven't improved in writing this year at all, and I'm bad at yzing literature. Those are complete lies! I am a very talented writer, love writing fictional stories, love yzing stories such as To Kill a Mockingbird, and my writing definitely has improved. She is just a really particular teacher with nothing better to do with her time than to lie about how my writing has improved. I'm the best writer in the cl, and I always write more than I have to and go the extra mile because I put a lot of thought and effort into my writing. Her criticisms are that I write too much and my writing isn't organized. My writing is very organized. For example, we had to write a 5 paragraph essay on To Kill a Mockingbird on which character really helped to affect the plot, and I chose Atticus Finch, and she said I only "needed" 1 sentence in my introductory paragraph. What kind of teacher only wants 1 sentence for the first paragraph? I think she doesn't realize that I have amazing writing abilities. It's a shame she can't see that. I am good at interpreting literature, and her excuse for disagreeing with me is that I am always concerned with what's right and wrong, or my morals, which is NOT TRUE. Besides, you SHOULD be concerned with right and wrong when it comes to literature. I don't know where she got that silly idea from. I do all my homework, I do really well on all of my test (the midterm I got a 97%), and I always raise my hand and participate in cl, and I love answering questions in cl because I KNOW I'm smart, but the teacher doesn't realize it. Doesn't it feel crazy when you know you're smart but you have a teacher that doesn't admit your smart just because she doesn't like you? It drives me crazy. But the thing that concerned me is that she told lies that my writing hasn't improved to my parents, but my writing really has improved and always put a lot of details into my writing. In other words, she's not giving full credit for what I CAN REALLY DO, or myself reaching my full potential. For example, today she made us write a biography about out lives (technically an autobiography, but she wanted to make like it was someone else writing in) and I included a lot of details and was going to type it up tonight, but then she said that SHE would collect it and type up the assignment. I'm perfectly able of typing up my writing assignment, thank you very much! Her excuse was that she was going to be off for a few weeks, so she would type up the papers to "occupy" herself. In other words, I'm perfectly capable of doing more work and more homework because the homework and group classwork is too easy in her class, but she doesn't recognize my smartness. I need some suggestions on things I can do, because I'm beyond angry at this teacher at this point for criticizing me for the mistakes of a faulty teacher that doesn't give good advice to her students, but at the same time her telling lies that I am not doing well with my writing, when I know I am (I got 100% on my writing on which character in the story I have most in common with (Dill). Thanks.
