[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Having issues with one of my middle schooler’s teachers. I feel horrible because she told us she’s battling cancer and is absent quite a bit. She’s very cold and dismissive, or at least that’s the vibe we got at both orientation and conferences. DD did fine last quarter, but now all of a sudden she is failing the class! I know this sounds biased, but she’s having no problems in any other class, and we’ve never had academic issues in the past. This is way out in left field. I don’t want to blame the teacher, but we witnessed her attitude and DD says she’s afraid to ask her any questions, because she’s “mean”. [b]I did some digging about DD grade, and it seems there is a discrepancy between assignments turned in on Google Classroom, and the teacher grading them. It appears she simply isn’t grading DD assignments. [/b]

DD is terrified for me to reach out because she feels she will face retaliation, but is afraid to ask herself about the discrepancy. I don’t know what to do. Her counselor told her she needs to speak to the teacher. I feel like at this point, since she’s now failing, I need to step in as the parent. But to be honest, I’m scared of the teacher too! Help!

Take screen shots. If the grade at the end of the quarter doesn't reflect graded assignments, let the teacher know you have screen shots. If you don't get a response, there is a formal process to appeal the grade. [/quote]
