[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a kid in Walls who has a teacher who has still only posted 5 grades for the entire term.  The ungraded assignments actually outnumber the graded ones.  DCPS requires a minimum of 9 grades before a final term grade can be recorded.  My kid has a high B+ at this point, but even if the teacher adds enough grades to be compliant, it could easily raise my kid's grade to an A, or lower it to a C, and there will be nothing my kid could do about it.  It's really frustrating.[/quote]

I had no idea about the 9 grades thing. My 8th grader's teacher posted exactly 9 grades and left the remaining ten ungraded. It looks like they're just starting to grade this evening, because I started getting Aspen notifications about 70% scores coming in. We were at an A over the weekend, and we're slowly coming down.

My kid earned what they earned, but I would've liked some heads up before the quarter ended. I'm not a huge fan of being able to make up everything, but it's better than watching your grade drop after the fact. [/quote]

It's actually not fair to your kid and is against DCPS policy, which says teachers must provide "timely feedback." It's quite possible that your student would have done better on some later assignments if they had been given grades/feedback on these 10 assignments in a timely way.  [/quote]
