[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Even if OP is overreacting and her DC is not exactly following procedures.....this seems like the time for the teacher to set up a meeting to help both child and parent understand what the missing link is. This will make kid accountable to parent and parent will see that the teacher has outlined everything to both parent/kid.[/quote]

Yes a meeting makes sense but changing the grade doesn’t.  [/quote]

Where do I say anything about grade changing?  I am saying it's time for everyone to sit down together so that the teacher can communicate clearly to the child - and the parent - on what is missing.  If the kid is trying to pull one over on the parent - then the parent will finally see this.  And if the teacher hasn't communicated effectively to the kid - they will now have done so.[/quote]

I think that sitting down together is a great idea.  I do think that if OP goes into this with the intention of forcing a grade change, the teacher is going to respond by gathering information that proves cheating.  Once it's proven that the kid cheated then they are opening up the possibility of a suspension or an expulsion.

So, if I was a parent, I would go in with an open mind, saying "I want to understand the correct way to submit assignments going forward" and not something that would put the teacher on the defensive.

I'll also say that the fact that the parent is using the fact that the teacher opened an emailed document as evidence that the teacher received the assignment is unclear about academic dishonesty is detected in the era of AI.  [/quote]
