[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]5th grade has been working on a poetry notebook assignment all semester. Two days before it was due, he lost it. Looked everywhere at school and at home and could not find it. I messaged teacher about redoing it and she said it was way too much work to redo in such a short amount of time, and to let this be a lesson in organization. He 100% does struggle in this area, so we told him he would just have to deal with the consequence of not making honor roll. He was devastated. 3 days after grades were sent home, a friend finds it in his desk, he accidently grabbed my son's on accident. [b]His teacher just laughed it off, but said she can't go in and change anything at this point. [/b]My son feels it isn't fair because it wasn't his fault his friend grabbed it. I obviously don't know that it wasn't somewhere it wasn't supposed to be, and that is why the friend picked it up. My son wants me to try and get it changed, but I'm leaning to toward just letting it go. [/quote]

That can’t be true, can it? My kid would be similarly upset even though we try to instill that a B is completely fine if you made an effort.

I’m generally pretty laidback about this kind of stuff, but I would probably go to bat for my kid about this because it was so clearly not their fault at all.[/quote]
