[quote=Anonymous]I would start with letting the kid try to handle it with the teacher. If he gets nowhere, then, yes, I'd follow up with the teacher and ask her what happened. My kid is a sophomore, he has handled everything on his own since he was in middle school - doesn't want my input. But this year one of his teachers was being especially ridiculous about a 0 she had given him, which would have made his end of semester grade a B instead of an A. (Note at my kid's HS semester grades are not averaged together for a final grade in each class. Semester grades count toward GPA.) He tried talking with her. Then I emailed. No dice. And I took it to the head of the department. The 0 was changed to the grade he earned and deserved. It was a PE class, and I realize it hardly matters in terms of college admissions or whatever. But to me it was also the the principle of the thing. I wanted my kid to know when things aren't fair, you stick up for yourself. No regrets.[/quote]
