[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Slightly different perspective here.  I remember a teacher a few years ago that was terribly far behind in grading.  We thought that the deadline had come and gone, but apparently the teacher got some sort of extension.  I kind of recall that the grade on the transcript was never reflected in Synergy, but I may have that wrong.  (I remember thinking he gave up with all the grading and just gave everyone an A but that was just my personal thought.)

Don't listen to these fools who think Junior shouldn't be devastated.  If she thinks she really earned the A and it matters for college admissions, I understand why she is stressed.  And sure, she might bring it up next term but who wants to rely on that... her life will be much happier if she has the A first quarter and isn't stressed about it for second quarter.  If she's absolutely positive that she should have the A, I would have her (yes her, not you) talk with the teacher once classes are back in session.  [/quote]

“Matters for college admissions”? She still has a chance to get an A in the course, and applications aren’t due until the fall. Her life won’t be ruined if the B stands, and even if it gets reversed, all the better. This isn’t something to get worked up about over spring break.[/quote]

You can't be serious.  An A vs a B definitely matters for college admissions (particularly at top schools).  And kids who get an A in third quarter can operate relatively stress-free for fourth quarter.  Kids with a B (but aspiring for an A) face a lot of stress fourth quarter.[/quote]

That makes no sense because both the kid with an A and the kid with a B need an A fourth quarter to get an A on the transcript. Not sure why one would have less stress than the other. [/quote]
