59% in Spanish Class

[Anonymous]

MY Daughter had a D for the 3rd quarter and 59 E for the 4th quarter. Since she is less than half point away from getting the credit for Spanish 2B for the course, should the teacher changed the grade to D?

I really don't know if I should say anything knowing she didn't do any extra credit or anything, but it likely for the teacher to fail a student by just one point?

God I feel for teachers.

She receives the grade she earned

Why do you want to save your daughter from her poor choices? Let her get the E. I think a D + E is still a D for the semester grade anyway.

But regardless, you should not be MORE concerned about your daughter "failing by 1 point" than by the fact that she is failing at all, and that you didn't catch this beforehand. Accountability matters.

I stand corrected. OP, I would gladly be signing my daughter up for summer school to retake the class she failed if I were you.

She can ask. The teacher can always say no. Unless you feel there’s been an injustice, please let your child advocate for themselves.
Also, get your child a tutor over the summer, otherwise it will only get worse.

I don't fell injustice was done at all, but that is a good idea and I will let her know.

On a similar note, I promised my daughter an incentive for getting straight A’s but in her Spanish class she is an 89.4%. Does not look like show get an a. I could encourage her to appeal to her teacher to bump her up, but that wouldn’t be fair since she didn’t earn that grade. Sometimes life is not fair.

wtf. Your kid earned that grade. Even if it's a lack of comprehension instead of lack of effort, you and the kid need to own it. BTW, I failed honors geometry for lack of comprehension. My mommy and daddy didn't save me or my gpa. I learned a bit about being resilient and it all worked itself out.

It never hurts to ask, as a teacher I will change the grade only IF they asked me.

That seems a little unfair.

If it were my kid, I would have her take it over the summer. It is on zoom and will help reinforce the concepts.

I was going to recommend the same. And maybe a tutor for next year.

You don't get an E for just comprehension. If you try even the *slightest* you can get a C/D. This kid DGAF and didn't even try. No way to zoom that into them.
