[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Since 4th grade the teachers and administrators have stressed “self advocacy” to adnauseum. There’s no way a parent should interfere in high school unless there was something much, much bigger than a 0 for allegedly giggling.  Teach your DC now to go to a teacher humbly and explain their position apologetically.  Please let your high schooler handle it. Drop the helicopter 🚁.[/quote]

OP again. My son already had given up earlier. He said he tried to explain but he didn’t believe him. I did say, you should try to explain to him what happened but he didn’t say anything and didn’t really feel like fighting the fight. I’ve only ever emailed a teacher once since middle school so I don’t like to meddle. Even during the one year when his history teacher told him to wait during this access period to grade his homework during Covid times and my son sat there for 45min and teacher never showed… and several other incidents that still landed my son a B because the teacher was not clear or didn’t show… I didn’t interfere.

This is the one time I feel like he did the work, grades actually counts and the teacher was over reacting that I’m even thinking about this. I’ll try talking to my son again when he feels less down about the whole thing. Most teachers are good. But sad to say there are really bad teachers and our kids are the ones who needs to deal with them and they are not always able to advocate to those teachers…especially one that gives you an F for potentially laughing.
