[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My middle schooler has a teacher who does not grade anything on time. Last quarter, my DD had pretty much full marks in all of her tasks except 1 that was showing as 'missing', although she had submitted and followed up twice about it. There were about 4-5 other tasks not graded in the last week and a big project that was not graded as well. With so few graded work and 1 of them missing her grade was High B . I was assuming it would turn to A when the other things get graded.  This is an easy subject for her but my DD followed up with the teacher and asked for feedback for the big project and was told that she had only 50% and was given some pointers to improve her project (again grading rubric wasn't clear), so she reworked it and submitted again. The teacher ignores the rework she re-did and gives her a original 50% grade on the very last day of the quarter which pulled her grade to a very low B . [b]My all-A student has never gotten a B so far and this is her very first B and is quite upset.[/b] I have emailed the teacher to get some feedback on what she should have done better and after 2 follow ups , there is no response to my emails. I am not sure how this teacher can do that. No idea how their grade will be even during last week of quarter, no opportunity for kids to make up anything, no credit for re-do work. The teacher does not seem strict but just lazy. I am at loss how to deal with the teacher! [/quote]

OP, it's better for your all-A student to learn in middle school that a B - even an undeserved, unfair B - is not the end of the world.[/quote]
