[quote=Anonymous]This is for the OP-
You're right, this thread took a turn. As I read your original post again, I would say this is out of the norm. Not saying it doesn't happen, but the vast majority of teachers at middle and high school don't approach posting grades this way. Most likely, something is going on with the teacher. They could be dealing with sick parents, just had a child, who knows? I know when my first child was born, my grading became severely disrupted. It took a while for me to get my professional balance back. Of course, it could be a case that a teacher has finally drawn a line and said that they're not doing work outside their duty day. As the system piles more and more on us during our planning time, many of us are reaching this point. I'm not there yet, but after the time I've spent grading this break, I feel like a sucker and becoming more sympathetic to that viewpoint.
Either way, you're not going to know the whole story. You've reached out to the teacher, and you've contacted the principal. Not much more you can do except remind your student to stay on top of their work with this class and keep an eye on things in case you have questions about the final quarter grade. 
Happy New Year![/quote]
