[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP,

A few things. For one, if you have any questions about DD's teacher's grading, ask the teacher about it. You can set up a conference through email. Secondly, we've all had bad teachers. It's a fact of life. Some teachers are actually horrible. So, maybe tell DD you understand her frustration but to tough it out until the end of the year. You can't shield DD from everything. But you should definitely talk to the teacher because that situation does seem kind of odd. [/quote]

Thanks, we’ve tried. I had to ask here because discussions with the teacher have not been productive.  Very defensive and not at all any technical discussion or reasoning.  Just that it’s not them, it’s how FCPS does it.  Maybe that’s the case, but seems unfair to grade down for yes/no instead of true/false when the question clearly asks for yes/no as the answer.  Why write both?  I’m starting to wonder if they’re going off of an answer key and marking every little thing that doesn’t match up.

We’re trying to determine if it’s worth asking to be placed with a different teacher next year or if it’s graded this way consistently.  [/quote]

This is not how FCPS does it. This kind of micromanagement for math drives me nuts!. [/quote]
