[quote=Anonymous]Okay just going with the theory that you are right, though I think that isn't a definite by any means: As a teacher this is my opinion. Try not to approach this so adversarily. That won't be helpful. Ask to see grading rubrics, standards or anything else that will help you interpret your childs grade. Ask to sit down with the child and the teacher and have the teacher walk you both through what their expectations are for a sample assignment, what your child did, and how your child could have received a better grade. Ask to see exemplars of the type of work the teacher is expecting. Ask about how grading is explained to the kids - do they know what the expectations are? But try framing this in a partnership - ie can we have a meeting to work together to figure out what is keeping my childs grades low and how we can all work together to improve their grade? Approaching them with hostility may shut down lines of communication. [/quote]
