[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In the new gradebook, do completion grades count? In one of my child’s classes, there are two outstanding grades that say completion grade (instead of formative or summarize) but it says 1 point possible. I’m thinking they don’t count and am super frustrated because my daughter spent two full days (like 6 hrs each day and even missed a sporting event) to work on these assignments. The teacher is unfortunately really volatile so not something she can just ask her about informally like in other classes. [/quote]
Best advice I can give here, is figure out how to help your daughter talk to your teacher and ask questions. It can only benefit her to know more, irrespective of how volatile a teacher is, or seems to be. If this is middle school, it's a perfect time to start learning this key skill. If it's high school, it's critical to learn it ASAP. The students who know how to do this will have a huge advantage throughout life.

Once she learns to not being afraid to communicate with any teacher (because it is her right to learn and ask questions), she will figure out what needs to be done vs skipped. There is no point guessing, just teach her how to ask.[/quote]
