I posted above and didn't even see that in the OP. OMG! Way to self-sabotage! |

THIS. But I also have the same question about TikTok. |

Not everyone does. Not even in high school. |

^^ yet another reason why admissions focusing on GPA more than standardized tests is incredibly short sighted. Too bad for this generation though. |

First it is not bad, second have you not seen what kids post about on Tiktok? Normal college age kids? This is nothing. |

| I think posting as a “ I am so pissed geez I wish I had done better” is weird but ok, I guess. I do not think posting as a way to complain about the professor is in any way appropriate behavior. If so then what an immature asswipe. |

Professors HATE kids who argue to get a higher grade (unless they have a legit alternative right answer).
I suggest your kid stop this by college. No faculty member with integrity would succumb to such tactics. ( You are asking the teacher to cheat on your behalf!) |

It’s not normal to beg and plead and complain about your profesor online because you didn’t do enough work to earn a better grade. If they didn’t think it were a bad grade they wouldn’t be trying to get it changed. |

Truly. What a stupid thing to do: post on social vial media. OP’s kid will become the laughingstock of the faculty lunchroom. What are you thinking OP? |

+1 As a professor, I find this incredibly immature. Also, my first thought - did your child review the syllabus to see if there is a grading policy? Also, please don't encourage your child to be a jerk. Your child is weaponizing social media. This will come back to haunt him. |

| No Professor will respect your DC for acting like a jerk on social media. Your child should be considerate to all the professors because one day he will need letters of recommendation from 3 of them and professors know who the jerks are. Op, do better. Teach your child to do better. He earned the grade that he got. Accept it. Use it as a lesson learned to do better next semester. |

| Unless there's a very specific reason he needs an extremely high GPA in college, it really doesn't matter whether he gets an A or a B in a single class. In 5 years he probably won't remember the name of that class and employers don't give a crap. Maybe if he's pre-med but even that path allows for a few B grades as long as his GPA is in the 3.9 range. |

Personal growth comes from failure.
He did not study enough. He needs to improve his skills with his future classes. |
