[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My child has had two classes in the past year where his grade has been inaccurate on the report card. He is in middle school.

Once was due to Covid-related absences when the teacher said he was excused, then didn't actually excuse the grade, he asked again, she said sorry she'd change it, and she still never changed it. He would have happily done the work but it wasn't Canvas accessible and she kept tell him not to worry. This was Q4 and she left the school so I contacted the counsellor since it was so complicated. Report card was re-issued.

Now it's happened again: with an assignment he clearly did, but the teacher never graded it in Synergy. I know he did it because she graded it, on time, in Canvas. He asked her about it and she said it would be there. Then it wasn't. When he mentioned it after the grading period ended she sighed and said that it was a lot of work for her to change it. Apparently another kid had the same issue and my kid witnessed the same conversation. It's almost as if she is refusing to correct her mistake?

In both cases it was documented as a B for the quarter but he earned an A. I am not letting that slide.

I asked him to write his counsellor directly this time. His email was fine, but obviously awkward and it isn't totally clear he did the work (he was trying to be polite). I am concerned the counsellor will think he's a grade grubber, which he isn't, and he's already admitted to a magnet, so I guess there's nothing on the line.  But I am frustrated this has happened twice! Is this happening anyone else? [/quote]

This is an 8th grader. He needs to learn to advocate for himself.[/quote]
