[quote=Anonymous]Just checking in with fellow parents awaiting a barrage of last minute grade updates now that the first marking period is over.

10th grade parent here. Kiddo currently has 3 As, 4 Bs. One B (B+) should become an A/A-. Hoping one B- becomes a B. Last year, one class went from 100 to a 90 at this point so kid barely had an A- because teacher said that an assignment from early in the marking period was never turned in. No WS was recorded for it. Kid went from 4 assignments in Aspen to over 12 after the marking period ended. There were two teachers last year who would do this so I never knew how drastically a grade could swing until it was too late.

Hoping that DC learns from 1st quarter as they totally procrastinated too much. I've had to nag much more than I should have. I do appreciate the new grading policy as I think DC it will lead to fewer surprises and force kids to be more accountable. My hope is that there are fewer shifts in grading at the end of a term as a result.

How are other parents doing out there?[/quote]
