[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks for all the replies. I didn’t think I should request the “bump” in grade, but wanted to get some opinions to see if everyone here would say,  “yes! You absolutely should help your kid.” As I said, I’m not usually one to intervene in things like this. One comment: [b]my son did do all of the assignments and very few were late. [/b]Not sure if the “real” grade was actually lower. But at any rate, it’s done and we shall move on. Thanks for the input. [/quote]

“Very few” assignments were late and you still think the teacher should just hand out a grade bump because Helicopter Parent?

Please. It sounds to me like the child made their best effort during a hard year. No one is perfect. There are plenty of kids who didn't turn in much and sure as heck didn't turn it in on time. A kid who turned everything in with only a few late is great for this year.

OP: IB in Junior year is difficult and this year had to be even harder. Colleges are going to know that this year was hard and that. A C+ in IB Math during the pandemic is nothing to be ashamed of. I understand that it is hard to be close to that B- and not get it but reinforce that your are proud of your sons effort and the grades he earned during a stupid, hard year for kids and Teachers. This will not tank him for college. He will have great opportunities if had solid grades Freshman and Sophomore year and gets off to a solid start next year. One C+ does not sink college. If he was an A/B student in the IB program before this year, the schools he was looking at for this year should still be available.
