OK, so the very helpful page at the link above (thanks PP!) includes the following statement:

[b]Teachers have the option to force a grade up or down depending upon the student's performance in the course and mastery of the course objectives.[/b]

Does this mean that the teacher might have the ability to bump the final grade up if a kid got As both quarters but a D or E on the final exam?  My son carried a 98 percent average for each of the last two quarters in a class, but fears he completely messed up the multiple choice final because he missed a number and started putting answers in the wrong places (or something--he was so stressed out about the screw up he couldn't even talk about it).

Anyone know if there is any hope for ending up with an A due to teacher flexibility in a scenario like that?[/quote]

You're welcome. I always bump up in those situations --even if I suspect the kid blew off the final. It's just not worth fighting kids and parents over it.[/quote]
