[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is it a rounding issue? Like rounded up for some kids but not yours? Nothing you can really say there. Otherwise you’re going to need to explain more. [/quote]

No, it's basically like the raw score was plugged into a certain formula to get a percentage grade, and my kid's raw score was plugged into that formula slightly differently than other students' raw scores were. The issue is NOT that other students got higher grades or more credit. Also, the issue is quite obvious (I'm being a little evasive in explaining it to protect privacy) and doesn't require scrutiny of anyone else's grades. It may well be a simple error, but I'm not sure we'll be able to get in touch with the teacher in time to ask.[/quote]

I’ve been teaching high school for a very long time and I don’t understand this. I’m also having a hard time believing you have access to other students’ grades, at least enough of them to determine some type of pattern.

Her teen talked to other teens in the class that’s how she got her info.  Perfectly reliable, right? [/quote]
