[quote=Anonymous]OP here. I finally just called the teacher (who had not responded either to kid's polite and detailed email, or to my own email 10 days later forwarding the original email with a polite note). Teacher immediately knew what the problem was, took responsibility for the error, and promised to correct. Which was lovely, although a little unfortunate that it took a phone call and two emails to get there. Our takeaway is that the teacher is just disorganized. And yes, I think it's great my child self-advocated and we strongly encouraged DC to do that. But 11-year-olds don't always feel comfortable confronting a teacher in person about a mistake. If nothing else, maybe this can serve as a reminder to the teachers out there that, although everyone makes mistakes, even a relatively minor mistake can have major consequences to a student and require a pretty significant amount of work and anxiety to get it fixed.[/quote]
