[quote=Anonymous]First time middle school parent here and I do t know how things work. (And I forget from my own time in MS/HS.)

All of a sudden DS is *really* failing a core class, language arts, and his teacher isn’t sure he will bounce back enough to pass, and she’s very strict and by the book and won’t allow late work, re-do’s or extra credit. He’s never had major issues and didn’t have an issue last quarter in the same class with the same teacher, he got a C+. He majorly slacked on two papers, didn’t turn in rough drafts, and these papers were major parts of his grade. He currently has an E/41%.

Everyone keeps telling me that MS is when kids learn about the expectations they will have in HS, and not to worry. But that’s easy to say when your kid isn’t failing. Do they combine the quarters for the semester grade to determine if he passes the course? Do they combine both semesters to determine? I can’t remember. This quarter is over in like 10 school days, so I don’t have a lot of hope.

Will DS be looking at summer school? Or do we still have a chance to turn this around?[/quote]
