[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] OP here. It's messed up. He's gotten a couple of Zs (zeros for not handing in work) in this class on Sunday nights or Monday mornings for deadlines due that Monday (class is in 3rd period). He checks Edline in second period, because it's his SN resource class, finds out he has a Z, hands in his work *on time* in 3rd period and asks for the Z to be removed. Crazy, right? That time, the Z got put in right before he left for MCPS's Outdoor Ed, and I thought he would talk to the teacher upon his return, meaning the week after (3 days of camp plus the weekend). So they both of them looked up and down for that paper, it took a couple of weeks, then the work got graded and returned to the class so the teacher said he couldn't make it up anymore. Today DS suggested to the teacher that he do extra work to make up for the Z, but *the teacher refused*. PPs who asked about the letter change, you are right that he will probably go back up to an A for the quarter. Right now he's at a high B, and has As for the rest of his work in that class. But still! I admit I'm fixated on the unfairness of it, and that it's probably immature of me. That kid has worked so hard to get to where he is right now. [/quote] It sounds to me like he's been pushing the limits and using his "special needs" designation to do so. This time he waited too long. The Z was known before he left and he didn't deal with it for a few weeks. Sounds like B is the right grade. If he wasn't so close to the edge, one Z wouldn't have mattered. (FYI, My kid also got a B due to a missed assignment. Went from a 90 to an 88. Now he just has to work extra hard to make sure that the quarter grade is better than the interim one.)[/quote]
