[quote=Anonymous]Ds, sophomore at a T20, asked a professor to round up 0.01 percent on a test so that his grade would go from an A to a B. The professor said no. Obviously I don't want him to have a B but I feel like grade grubbing is not the way to go about things, and if he ever wants a letter of recommendation from this professor, this is a bad look. I've always encouraged my kids to do well in school, but also to respect teachers and not worry too much about grades. I will admit that this is slightly hypocritical because I had a 4.0 throughout high school and college, and part of what got him into good schools was his grades/scores. He told me he is going to ask the professor in person. I feel like this is a really bad idea. I lectured him a bit through text and now he's sending me curt, irritated responses. What can I say or do to change his mind/[/quote]
