[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Glad it is done too. 2 AP classes.
Plus an over confident DS who thought he will get an A without completing all the assignments. He only focused on the higher percentage assignments. got like an 89. something and teacher did not round up. He begged her to round it up.

It was a good lesson of not taking shortcuts.. hope he gets it.

I’m a teacher and will never round up if kids are missing work. Too many think “it’s only 10%” - but at the end, when you wish you had 1% more … it turns out that it mattered.

Flip side is that when a kid is always on top of their work, never late, and consistent scores on quizzes/tests, then I will always double check and likely bump because they might have lost one or two points due to misreading a question or me grading strictly, but actually demonstrated knowledge of the higher letter grade.[/quote]

Mcps has reinforced terrible learning habits. 
Until this year there was no point in doing dome addignments. They were low reward and a 50% was enough not to make a difference.  Surprise! This year they talked you by an entire letter grade.

Thisnisnretakable so don't worry. Sorry that's notnretskable you should have studied. Teacher accepted this assignment 3 wreks late at the beginning of the quarter. Sorry that assignment is an hour overdue. You get a zero.
It's difficult enough for an adult to thrive in an inconsistent environment.  Cruel for a child and reprehensible for a child on the spectrum or with adhd.[/quote]

Sorry for the typos!
 I was day drinking to drown my misery about the poor choices I made by moving to this school district.[/quote]
