[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She is sick and feeling terrible. If she misses two quizzes this week, is there a way to make them up?

(maybe she’ll feel better tomorrow or Wednesday, just thinking ahead and trying to understand)[/quote]

[b]There should be NO new assignments or grades this week which is the last week of school and not even a full week of school. Whoever is assigning assignments should not be.[/b][/quote]

MCPS already cut 5 days out of the school year due to weather.  You want them to cut another 4 for "the last week of school"?[/quote]

Based on the grading policy they created that clearly states we are supposed to have zero new assignments within 5 days of the end of the MP, yes.[/quote]

Is this real? My kid had a math test today and a couple of presentations.[/quote]

Then it is clearly not 'real'. Teachers often face multiple grading policies that are difficult or impossible to meet jointly, especially at the end of school year (number of tests per quarter, when to complete grading, when to stop testing, ...). So they prioritize. [/quote]

Its real.  My kid had assignmnets up till today.  Some of the teachers were out for extended time, others just didn't plan well.[/quote]

One of my kid's teachers offered the kids present the option to retake one of their tests from earlier in the marking period. My kid took the makeup and did a lot better, and it changed his grade.  A retake isn't a new assignment.[/quote]
