[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your kid is in middle school and should be checking their grades online. Furthermore, it is 2025 parents also have 24/7 access to their kid's grades. [/quote]

OP here. 
 
There are no grades for this class except the final grade. In all my kid’s various classes the teacher will post what was done in class for that day. The only teacher who hasn’t posted anything throughout the semester is the elective’s teacher. [/quote]

This doesn’t make sense.  So…what is being graded? How does the teacher come up with the “final grade” Have you seen the syllabus? There had to something input that calculates their final grade, whether that’s daily participation points, class work grades, discussion points, small group assignments, etc. There is no way this class has zero grades other than one final test.

You need to ask to see the syllabus, find out how your child’s grade was calculated, and what their deficiencies have been. No, I don’t expect middle school teachers to contact parents if their child is struggling.  It’s up the the parents to be monitoring their grade and progress.  But to do that, the teacher needs to be updating points and grade throughout the semester. If the teacher didn’t do that, then yes, I’d ask if that could be done regularly for next quarter (because they are supposed to do this) [/quote]
