Related to this subject of rounding, my kid was less than 0.5 from an A in a class.  They had turned in all their homework and participated in class.

After the final, my kid was still around a tenth from an A.

They looked over the test after the final and found an error on one of the questions the teacher had written.  They were the only kid in the class who reviewed the final after it was graded.[/b]

They shared the error with the teacher who corrected the mistake by throwing out the incorrect question for all of the students.

My kid asked if they could get that last 10th of a point as extra credit for taking the time to actually read over the test and find that mistake.

The teacher said no.

Long story short, if the teachers won't round up by a tenth of a point for a kid who turned in all the work all year and took the time to review the final, then I doubt they will round up for a D student.

Your best option is probably to make your kid sit at the kitchen atble each night between now and the end of the year to do his homework with you looking over his shoulder to make sure he is not on tiktok or youtube. Double check his work daily. Make him study bio every night. It is almost all rote memorization so studying will help.  Make sure he actually does all the homework and most importantly,  submit it.

That will have better odds of raising a D minus to a regular D or maybe D plus.[/quote]

If my kid got the answer correctly as written, I would have challenged the grade instead of accepting the test getting thrown out. [/quote]
