| Will you be okay with a teacher didn't change a 59.10% to D? |

| I would be delighted my kid was being held responsible. |

| It's not a D, why should it be listed as one? |

| The teacher is not the problem in this picture. |

| Is it a quarter grade or a semester grade? |

| I'd be furious at my kid for getting a 59. That's their problem, not the teacher's |

| When I was in a school a 59.10% was more than ten points below a D, so I'd be fine with it. |

He ended up with E for the semester for Spanish 1A. I just wish he would've emailed me or give my son extra credit so he could've passed the semester. He did but doing the 1st marking period, but improved a lot doing the second marking period. |

My father was a teacher for 45 years, and his philosophy was that grades were determined by whether or not the student reached the appropriate threshold. In this case, in order to get a D, the student has to reach 60%.
Did your student reach 60%, OP? No? There you go. But in this case, your complaint is particularly frivolous because you don't even have a rounding argument. A 59.10% rounds to a 59%, not a 60%. To be clear, I'd be fine if your kid had a 59.90% and still didn't get a D. But that's not the situation here. |

| I’m sorry for your sons low grade. Do you know the root cause of why he was doing poorly? |

Does he have a 504 and is he requesting his accommodations? And is the teacher granting them? |

YUP! Same here. Maybe they'll take the class seriously next time since they didn't pass. |

That's not a reason for a low grade. Plenty of kids with disabilities thrive academically. |
