[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is a requirement to offer one per marking period. However, even as a fellow teacher, I was unable to get one particular English teacher to comply. I documented her refusal. Sent it to the department head and grade level administrator. Nothing ever happened. [/quote]

Maybe focus your efforts on getting your kid to study the first time. No wonder there’s a teacher shortage. [/quote]

Again, I myself is a teacher. Providing one retakable assessment a marking period —as required by MCPS— is not causing anyone to exit teaching who shouldn’t leave anyway. In my child’s case, she was a straight A student overall. It was excessively stressful to have a teacher refuse any makeups all year. The result was  a ninth grader petrified to miss even a few days of instruction for death of her grandfather and Lyme disease. [/quote]

Why? Sounds like she needs therapy and meds. [/quote]

Not that poster but we are having this issue too.  My kid missed one class for another class thing and the teacher has refused to make up the assignment so we will not be consenting to our child participating in the other class if it means the academics suffer.  It's not fair if it's a legit reasons.  Our child will miss a funeral to go to school coming up.[/quote]
