[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This year, I'd probably assume that the 79.2 was already bending over backwards to help my kid and that he actually deserved a 60.[/quote]
BS.  Who bends over backwards to get somebody just below a threshold? That doesn’t make sense.  If I was a teacher, <1 point gets rounded up.  Especially if the kid is asking to do extra work.  I’d complain like hel.  Is there a reason your child may be discriminated against or the teacher wouldn’t like him.  Does the teacher have a history of this behavior? Maybe she feels she can screw certain kids over and get away with it.  Use any outlet to complain and expose the situation if you feel your son is being done wrong.[/quote]

You can’t just “round up” the grade. It is calculated from every grade of every assignment entered. I cannot manually override that number; the only way to change it is to change assignment grades. If the teacher already bumped every single assignment submitted, he can’t really do anything else other than then go lie and add extra points to missing assignments to further bump it. I’m telling you, we have done everything we could for these kids. Their grades are inflated. I’ve even exempted all from one missing assignment as a gimme. But I am not lying and saying they did work they didn’t to further bump them to a B. The 79 was probably the furthest he could get it. [/quote]
