[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is so strange.  Your daughter asked for a grade based on no work and you’re proud?  My son was .1 away from the next grade a couple of years ago and didn’t even think to ask for free points.

Also provides more evidence that GPAs should not be valued as much as they are in admissions.  Standardized tests are much more fair than this sort of teacher and student dependent grading.[/quote]

Why not?  "You miss 100% of the shots you don't take" One of her teacher's taught her to asked it doesn't hurt.  [/quote]

Professor PP and ugh… this is terrible advice from high school teachers. Yes, asking CAN hurt you in college. If you want a recommendation letter from a professor it’s best not to have a reputation of being a grade grubber who cares more about points than the learning. Professors are not customer service representatives. Students who don’t establish good relationships with professors are not going to have good options for rec letters or job references. Many students do not really think about this aspect until it’s too late.[/quote]
