[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]High school English teacher posted no grades this quarter until this morning when interims are due and then about 10 assignments posted. Are teachers allowed to do this?[/quote]

They are not supposed to and I would recommend emailing the RT and assistant principal about this.  Unfortunately, this is happening more often because teachers are stretched thin with all the tasks they are being assigned by administration.  Teachers used to be able to focus their time on lesson development, grading and feedback.  Now time is being wasted on useless meetings, documentation of documentation, and focusing a tremendous amount of attention on no show students and those that don't do anything.  Teachers should be posting grades regularly but I see how some fall behind and have a hard time catching up.  [/quote]

Teachers need to grade so kids know how they are doing.  No excuse for this. [/quote]

Typically, if students have a low grade at interims, they haven't been getting their work done. No excuse for this.[/quote]

Some kids may not know if they are doing the work and struggling if things aren't graded.  [/quote]

Great life lesson in learning how to advocate for one’s self. My high schooler has an IEP for social and general anxiety and he advocates and asks his teachers about what’s going on with his grade. He still is a work in progress, but I’d rather he test the waters (i.e. consequences) now rather than when he is expected to be self sufficient as an adult.   I don’t even check ParentVue.   I ask him what’s going on and help him brainstorm ways to ask without overwhelming him.  Just another way of looking at things.    [/quote]

Your kid is just so much better than mine.  Not all teachers respond to emails from the students or parents and when kids walk up to some teachers, some will help and others will not.  You should be checking parentvue.[/quote]

Excuses excuses. Everytime someone posts an alternative way to approach a situation DCUM always finds a way to pick at it and complain. Keep on making excuses for everything instead of trying to help your kids learn how to navigate life.  You are their support system; they are the ones responsible for their grades. [/quote]

I think you are referring to the wrong person as we are far more involved than you.  We are going to support our kids to make sure they succeed.  If teachers don’t grade assessments and review them, what’s the point?  I’m not going to let mine fail.  If you do that’s on you. [/quote]

🏆  here’s your trophy for parent of the year.  How’s the view from up on your high horse? [/quote]
