[quote=Anonymous]7th grade DD has a typing accommodation for dysgraphia, both the mechanics and also harder to produce complete/sophisticated responses. ELA teacher often "forgets" (and at times, when it is not clear how much an assignment is "worth") DD doesn't bother to ask/tell that she is going to type. Recently, DD turned in a class workshet page that she thought was just for completion (very low weight for grade) but teacher weighted it at the highest level (our school follows 3 different weighting categories, with criteria that is clear and usually followed by teachers).

The fact that these two questions are weighted the same as a multi-week paper or a full unit test (in other subjects) is equally frustrating.

I've also asked the teacher for more clarity about which work is graded and which is not (and the weight) and I got a really vague response and was actually told to just wait until it's marked missing in powerschool (they have a grace period). That "strategy" seems like an awful solution for teaching good work habits.

This seems wrong and frustrating on so many levels, not really running into these issues in other classes or in previous years (have older DCs).

Should we have DD ask to re-do or just let it slide since we are at the end of the year. [/quote]
