[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This could be my DD's AP Lang teacher.  It is unfortunate, because DD there was one meh essay that brought her grade from an A to a B for the quarter with no time to do anything to regain it.  More upsetting to my DD is 1) he only grades about 1/3 of the essays, and 2) her final grade ended up at a 89.4 (B+).

Credit to DD, she advocated for herself.  The meh easy was supposed to be a draft, but since he never returned it, he graded it like the final.  DD wanted to revise it.  The teacher did not want to grade more, but he did add a class participation grade.   That got her year-end grade unto an A-. [/quote]

“My daughter took an AP level course and wants to do revisions on a crappy paper which aren’t allowed in higher level courses with 1.0 GPA bumps. I will call the teacher lazy because I am not astute enough to read syllabi and know this is the policy, especially per College Board and AP requirements. My daughter whined enough about her 89.4 that the teacher bumped her to a 90 to shut her up. I am very pleased with my obviously AP level child who was in no way inappropriately placed in this course level.” [/quote]
