[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For crying out loud -- does any ADULT really think that they will fail an entire chemistry class over behavior issues? OP is being as hysterical as an eighth grader. Stop whipping up your child into a frenzy.

The rookie mistake was by the unqualified dean who made a threat he can't deliver on -- I hope he becomes yet one more in a string of supposed male role models who aren't the right fit for this school. [/quote]

AMEN to that, brother.  But yes, there are at least two PARENTS who are still unclear on what the ultimate consequences are going to be for their children's Chemistry grades.  Neither of them understood the HOS email, and both of them share the feeling that while clearly the Chemistry teacher did not mean for anything like this to happen when she called the Dean, she is not in control of their grades because he said she wasn't.

You have to understand that parents and children here come from all sorts of different cultures and backgrounds, some where a group is frequently punished for the actions of one person, even when the person is identified, some from where the rules are only rules until someone higher in authority says they are not, where arbitrary and unfair situations happen all the time, and there is nothing one can do about it.[/quote]
