[quote=Anonymous]So many things I could say, but I'll limit myself to the original post's question:
I'm a HS teacher who teaches AP, and based on your description, I wouldn't complain about it. If you think about this particular January, we were scheduled to have 19 school days. However, we lost 3 days to snow and had 2 2 hour delays. I myself lost another day to counseling for registration. The last two days of the quarter, I'm not assigning new grades because that potentially screws over students on their grades. So those 19 full days of instruction essentially became 12 full days (11 if a class was used by counseling). You have to cover some material before giving an assignment, so the window of assigning work becomes even smaller. Every class is different in regards to grading demands, and any class heavy on essays (as I imagine AP English does) is going to have fewer assignments to begin with, unless the teacher is sadistic.
If your student's grade is based on 9 or more assignments in the All Tasks category, and 5 or more assignments in the Practice category, then the teacher has fulfilled the MCPS expectation. But with the disruption we've experienced throughout this month to instruction, I wouldn't be surprised if there is some flexibility on this requirement.
So, in short, I don't think you have much to complain about, and an email is not worth your time.[/quote]
