[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Insist, OP. You've got nothing to lose. It doesn't matter if you're *that* parent. It's not like your child's grade is going to get lower.

It’s grade grubbing and teachers hate that.  Don’t forget that you only have one side of the story.   Talk to the teacher without thinking there’s some kind of conspiracy you’ve uncovered.  [/quote]

Exactly. I’m guessing the teacher has a perfectly reasonable explanation for the grade.

OP can escalate it. Then the teacher can weigh in and it’ll be all over. [/quote]

That’s right. If he knew he was borderline he should have talked to the teacher for extra credit work. 
What grade is he in? I had my six grader write to his teacher directly when an assignment was not included in the grade and it got sorted out right away. Not sure why you should write to the teacher instead, unless your kid doesn’t care and it’s more your fight at this point.

Unless there’s a clear mathematical error in the calculation, but it doesn’t sound like this is the issue. Check the class syllabus it usually explains the grading policy and what percentages go into the grade. [/quote]
