[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This hits home because my 8th grader walked in the door today and said "I have good news and I have bad news: I got the highest grade at my table on the Spanish III test, but I got a 65%."[/quote]
My 7th greater in Spanish too got a similar grade this week. Apparently there were an additional 70 words they were being tested on the most kids were unaware of because of confusing instructions. [/quote]

That was Spanish 2- same thing happened to my 8th grader[/quote]

The details were there but the teacher's instructions made it confusing so many kids made that same mistake.  My takeaway for this class was they're going to have to carefully read assignments up front and ask questions beforehand to avoid confusion in the future. Anyway, there's a retake next week so hopefully just a valuable but painless life lesson...[/quote]

Parent of the kid with the 65% here and we started Spanish II off similarly. They ended up getting an A (straight As, actually) so the kid is not worried.I am trying to explain that the clip drops at some point, and Spanish III may be it. We are working on study habits, enforcing planning for retakes, and are most likely not gonna include the grade on the HS transcript! Can anyone remind me how to go about doing that and when the deadline is?[/quote]

Really appreciate your perspective since you've been through this. [/quote]
