[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Unfortunately it is the end of the quarter.  Are there any missing assignments that can be submitted at this point?  DS does probably have some leverage if he had no indication of the grade until the end.  Otherwise he just needs to make sure it does not happen again.  Sounds like he is not applying to Harvard and colleges will over look a fluky low grade.  Some only count core classes in the gpa calc too.[/quote]

“Leverage”?!?!  With DCUM, I knew there would be a parent who’d want to blame it on the teacher and bend the rules for the kid.

No.  The kid knew he blew off assignments.  It’s the kid’s responsibility.  Don’t bail him out by trying to blame the teacher.  Let him change his habits.  Let him accept that he broke this and he can fix it himself.  He doesn’t need mom and dad coming in aiming daggers at the teacher and demanding a grade change.  [/quote]

It is the teacher's job to provide feedback over the course of the term.  They failed the student.[/quote]

Though I think this is a two-way street, I do think it should have been clearer before now this kid was on the road to a D.[/quote]
