[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would talk to someone in charge- academic dean or whatever.  Explain the situation and be nice about it.  Ask what your dd can do to improve the grade.  For example, an extra little project.

Before a teacher hands out a C, they should discuss with their student ways to get back on track.

Tell your dd,  it will all be okay!!  [/quote]

As a HS teacher this is the worst possible advice.

OP, you can try contacting the teacher yourself. But also, you say "she's given" your DD a C. No. That's what your DD has earned. [/quote]

You may be correct that the child earned. C, but if the teacher is not behaving professionally, then the teacher helped her "earn" that.  Most of the time, teachers are professional, but not always. And in those cases, kids can't solve the problem on their own.

My daughter was struggling with a teacher who picked on her. The administration stepped in to get the teacher to back off -- and I hadn't even asked. I had brought forward an example to guidance of a situation I didn't know how to handle, but it was the administration, not me, who decided my child was the innocent one.  [/quote]
