[quote=Anonymous]There are a couple teachers at McLean who are very hard/strict graders. I am not sure if your child has one of these teachers? Usually the kids know who they are. Start with a teacher meeting to find out where there are deficiencies and then work to fix those issues. Ask for detailed feedback on each bigger assignment and for frequent check-ins with the teacher to make sure student is on the right track instead of waiting til the end of a quarter. Get a tutor - another AP teacher in FCPS preferably - to address issues that cannot be easily corrected.
I always have my kids talk with teacher first and then follow up with a meeting with all of us there. We have had a few of the hard graders at McLean and made for a long, stressful year with frequent tutoring BUT they learned a lot and the teachers we met with obviously cared a lot about the students and helping them improve. I also think grading got easier as the year went on but maybe the kids were improving? I hope the meeting provides good insight.[/quote]
