[quote=Anonymous]This is not my first experience with MCPS middle school and its teachers! I have an older kid who went through middle school in a lot tougher environment (clemente magnet) and is now in high school magnet. So I am not unfamiliar with good/poor work . My now magnet high schooler has gotten some Bs and she did deserve them as well. And I do not meddle with their work/grades unless I think something was really unfair. I often side with the teachers when my kids complain against any teacher.  My sister is a teacher and I know all the difficulties... so don't think I am here to just bash all teachers!
This particular project from my youngest was a group project and she collaborated with a kid from another period (same teacher though). The teacher had not given same instructions to the 2 classes which I guess they should have clarified. Yes the teacher allowed re-work because lot of kids complained the instructions weren't clear (he assigned the project and was absent from school for over a week), but then did not grade the re-work. Apparently a lot of kids ended up with Cs and Ds on this one project!
I am just surprised why the teacher doesn't want to reply to email asking for feedback about what she should have done better? To me it looked like the project was on point. 
Most of you say 'yeah may be she deserved it' , why don't you help her do better? But if there is no feedback on what is that she should have done better, how can some one improve? All the teachers I have had for my kids have been nice and I have never had one that doesn't respond to emails!
