[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our 11th grade DD is a solid student (generally a mix of As and Bs) who has never had any issues with teachers or disciplinary problems. She is a good, responsible, courteous student. All of a sudden, she is having huge problems with one teacher. This teacher seems determined to find fault, grades her down on assignments, doesn’t answer emails or return calls, won’t provide explanations of grades, and yells at DD when she tries as ask why she received low grades. It’s completely weird: this same teacher gave DD a B+ last year but is currently giving DD a C. DD is completely baffled and distraught. She is worried that since this is junior year, a low grade now will hurt her college chances.

Any suggestions? This is has never happened before, and this is the lowest grade DD has EVER received in any class in any year. (She is doing fine in all her other classes and gets nothing but positive comments from teachers, who — with this one teacher as the exception— praise her work ethic, her preparation, her effort, etc.)  She is at a small private school and this teacher is the only teacher in this particular subject so changing to a different class is not an option. Should I shrug and tell DD she needs to figure this out on her own? Or should start getting involved and ask to meet with the teacher and/or school administrators?

If she's not returning your calls or emails then I would contact administration.  [/quote]
