[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]

That sounds right to me. She got a zero for the assignment.  And because the quarter is only a couple of weeks old, there aren't enough other assignments to balance it out right now (my kids have only 2-3 grades in some classes, and DS got a 60 on a quiz based on a homework reading assignment that brought his grade down to a C- until he does the retake. And gets more grades in).  But she was not actually flunked for the quarter, let alone the semester. More grades will come in, and unless she is really struggling in the class, she will ultimately not fail the quarter, let alone the semester. And HSs report and average GPAs by the final grade at the end of the year anyway, not broken down by quarters or semesters, so the zero will ultimately get lost in many, many other grades. It will probably not even pull her down a letter grade, unless she is very borderline to begin with.

In the meantime, your daughter should do some self advocacy here. There is nothing to be lost by her approaching the teacher, apologizing for screwing up, and asking if it is possible to do extra credit to make up for some of the lost ground. If she has been a good student who has not been in trouble up to this point, she might get a yes. But in HS, she needs to take responsibility for talking to the teacher about this. You should not contact the teacher and intercede. [/quote]
