[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Gosh, OP, the meanypantspeople have come out of the woodwork today.  I would be very upset about the situation you are describing, and would definitely follow up with the teacher to make this debacle into a learning experience.

When you get 50% for not doing much of anything on an assignment, there is definitely a disconnect when there is 
a legitimate attempt to complete something and get a 50%.  [/quote]

Agree. I’m shocked how nasty and blasé responders have been. In our middle school you get an automatic 50 percent grade on anything you have NOT turned in. Anything actually turned in would presumably be above 50 percent. In all honesty it sounds like your daughter did everything right along the way in terms of talking to the teacher/requesting feedback/clarifying/rewriting before the due date, etc. I personally would not suck it up. If you don’t hear back from the teacher (which is also shocking), I’d escalate. It’s not about the B. Bs are fine. It’s about the impossible gauntlet this teacher has unnecessarily created. For all those defending teachers, do you not think grading and providing timely feedback on assigned work is not core to the job description and the entire idea of the educational process? I get that they have other responsibilities. This is one of the main, required things every teacher everywhere knows is an expected part of the job. [/quote]

1) The teacher did grade it in a timely fashion and did provide feedback in a timely manner.
2) I'm not sure why OP is so gung ho on ginning up support on this board, when the only way she can actually receive clarification/support/more info is by speaking to a person of leadership at the school. [/quote]
