[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Look, I never said my kid was "constantly rude." I could add much more backstory that would make my kid seem much more sympathetic in terms of their overall relationship with the teacher, but I will concede my kid didn't act perfectly, and to the extent they made mistakes, I've addressed it with them. Ultimately, how my kid acted or didn't act is mostly irrelevant to my question, which was (to put it more succinctly): There is an irregularity in the input of one assignment grade that has no obvious explanation other than error and that I am 95% sure the teacher would change on their own if alerted to it in time. Because my kid was on the borderline between grades, it turns out to make a big difference to their overall grade in the class. We tried to communicate with the teacher but suspect the teacher is no longer checking e-mail. Should we let it go as a life lesson or take further action? I appreciate everyone who's weighed in on both sides of that question and will consider what you have to say. I really don't want to end up IDing anyone involved so don't plan to elaborate any further.[/quote]

Why can’t you just tell what the formula was and change the percentages and task name. Like 30% midterm and 70% final becomes, 40% lab and 60% homework.

That would not be at all identifiable. It’s kind of silly to expect an answer but dance around endlessly about what the situation is.

If your issue is your kid and another one did 7/10 correct questions on homework and yours got 65% and the friend got 75%, then you can’t do much because the teacher might give partial credit and or take credit away from the correct answer because the explanation was not satisfactory.

But seriously if you’re not capable to explain the situation clearly (yeah even without identifying yourself) you probably won’t be persuasive enough to the teacher or the administrators.[/quote]
