[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If HS Honor class average grad for test back to back below 40%. 
Teacher not replying back to parents.

What is your question?[/quote]

I believe it's the following:

"If the average grade in an Honors class for two tests in a row was 40%, who is really failing - the teacher or the kids?  Parents have reached out to the teacher and gotten no response on what's happening in the classroom."

Personally, I'd want to know from the teacher whether these tests are practice tests or whether they count towards a quarterly grade.  Presumably the kids in an Honors class are used to working harder and the average grade on a test should not be an F." [/quote]

Is the 40% average tests showing in your DC online gradebook (SIS)? If so, it’ll count toward the quarter grade. If not, the teacher maybe working toward reteaching/retesting.

Also, kids don’t always give accurate information on tests’ averages. A lot of speculation and gossip is also included.

Was this math, science, or another subject? A 40% average in math is so much different then in US History. And, lastly, was the teacher out right before this test, limiting time for students to ask questions? There are so many variables to consider….[/quote]
