[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here.  Just fyi...re: the study guide assignment that can't be made up.  It is not 1% of her grade.  Her grade dropped 6 percentage points for getting the equivalent of an F on this one assignment.  As more points are added this quarter via tests and assignments, that one missing assignment will have less impact.  But it is not 1% of the whole grade.  It shows up as .53/1.0 on the gradebook.

For those who say "live and let live", such an attitude is contrary to the reason the district gives the info to parents and contrary to what teachers sat at BTSN.  They want parents to help them by kerping tabs on kids....at leadt in ms.

If you always carry them, they will never learn to walk. Sometimes they fall down. Sometimes it hurts, a lot. That's how you learn. Would any of you want someone breathing down your neck every.single.day? Teach them to fear failure, let them know that the slightest misstep in middle school could cost them their entire future and you will have a kid who doesn't know how to recover, doesn't know how to innovate and is afraid to tell you anything.[/quote]
