[quote=Anonymous]1. Diverse views is not DEI. Perhaps the topic was controversial in its historical period, and the teacher wants students to remember that and include pro-slavery and anti-slavery points of view, for example, with citations. This is an essential part of history and English classes.

2. Are you sure you and your student have all the rubric, and diverse perspectives was not included? In that case, your student has a case for complaint. It happens regularly that a teacher will fudge, and perhaps mention it out loud, or give the complete rubric only to one period and not the other class periods they have. After all, they have way too many classes! From the way students were graded, it sounds like students were not aware of that part of the grading. Please have your kid lodge a polite request for a class regrade, on the grounds that  the rubric did not include diverse perspectives.

3. This is an exercise in self-advocacy. My 13 year old is shy and has never complained about incomplete rubrics, even though similar scenarios have happened to her. Since she still has straight As, I haven't pushed it... but I am aware that teachers make mistakes.
