OP here.

It's messed up.

He's gotten a couple of Zs (zeros for not handing in work) in this class on Sunday nights or Monday mornings for deadlines due that Monday (class is in 3rd period). He checks Edline in second period, because it's his SN resource class, finds out he has a Z, hands in his work *on time* in 3rd period and asks for the Z to be removed. Crazy, right?

That time, the Z got put in right before he left for MCPS's Outdoor Ed, and I thought he would talk to the teacher upon his return, meaning the week after (3 days of camp plus the weekend). So they both of them looked up and down for that paper, it took a couple of weeks, then the work got graded and returned to the class so the teacher said he couldn't make it up anymore.

Today DS suggested to the teacher that he do extra work to make up for the Z, but *the teacher refused*.

PPs who asked about the letter change, you are right that he will probably go back up to an A for the quarter. Right now he's at a high B, and has As for the rest of his work in that class.

But still! I admit I'm fixated on the unfairness of it, and that it's probably immature of me. That kid has worked so hard to get to where he is right now.

Do you have a common last name?  Just checking, because we have a common last name that another kid had in the class, and THREE teachers confused FIVE classes of grades.  The only reason I figured it out is because the grades the other kid got were so different than my kid's, I kept watching and telling her to go talk to the teacher.  Finally one teacher wrote in the note box, "Larlo, this project was due last Thursday..." and I realized, OMG they are confusing my kid with Larlo.  Had that teacher not done that, I wouldn't have figured it out.

In case you think it's just one school, it was not, the following year we were in a different school and sure enough, a teacher's comments said, "Larla, you...".

And btw CVS and Rite Aid have given me someone else's drugs a few times.  Scary!

So even if your surname is not common, check to see if there are other kids in the class with the same or similar FIRST name![/quote]
