[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. What I got was a report card as it stands today. It is an F for the quarter? (If I interpret it right).  Zero points for that assignment, and various points for the other assignments during this quarter.

I thought because the quarter has not ended so there is no final grade yet?  But the F obvious did not considered all the other assignment.

I am not sure, and I don't know how DD can recover from that F even if she get A+ for the remainder.[/quote]

I would immediately schedule a conference with the teacher.  This is another issue - assigning a ZERO for work like this.  It is defeating to a student who otherwise works hard to learn.  
And, if the F was assigned because of primarily homework assignments, I would be angry.  
The questions I would ask - 
How is my child performing in the classroom?  On tests? On quizzes?  
How does my child participate? 
Should a grade in this class reflect my child’s achievement - her understanding of skills and concepts taught and learned?
Is an F a true reflection of my child’s ACHIEVEMENT this quarter, of is it more a reflection of the punishment she received as a result of this homework assignment? [/quote]

Well, hold up just a minute.

This is a junior in high school.

If I were the teacher, I'd be much more receptive of the student approaching me on this issue than a parent. Especially if the parent were claiming innocence on behalf of her 11th grader.

OP, as a parent, I think this totally stinks. But it's your daughter's problem, and your job is not to take care of it for her at this point. You can back her up, though. I really wish my own mom had helped me learn to stand up to myself and talk to teachers BEFORE heading away to college. It's a great skill. Many of my classmates were able to talk to and negotiate to raise their grades with our professors as adults, and I always felt incompetent/fearful to do so.[/quote]
