[quote=Anonymous]OP here again.  Let me answer some of questions. They are good questions.

With respect to why DD sent a copy and whether it is not better to verbally explain to another student the concept, in hind sight it is naturally better to verbally explain and talk it over.  The reality is, this is not the only assignment DD need to do, she also need to study for the next class.  So when her friend called, she really did not have time to discuss or go over the home work she did a few days ago.  Apparently the other kid is also a very good student  with high grades, so the reaction was that she just need to take a look and will instantly figure out where she got stuck.  No, the peer pressure was not there, other than a friendship from another kid that always have good grades.  That was also why she did not imagine that the other kid would copy, because it was out of character.  So the real reason for sending the copy was so that DD can get back to another assignment from a different teacher.

Knowing how it turn out, of course she will pause and think more in the future, but at that time she was busy with another assignment.

The other student apologized many many times to DD and truly felt sorry for what she did, she even admitted to the AP that DD did not know she copied her.  DD forgave her.  Based on what DD told her, the other kid was truly a good student who has never done something like this before.

Lessons learned.

Thanks for the explanations about current grade is just an interim one and will be diluted once additional assignments are graded. That makes sense.  Yes, I was totally confused by the report cards.  I see assignments that were marked as "turned in" but graded as zero over something like ten or eight.  On the top of the report card, it is marked as missing.  I could not understand how  could the assignment could have been marked as missing and turned in at the same time.  I was told that is an issue with the system, but those items were not calculated in the grade. That is very confusing.

19:21, I don't quite understand what you sad about SIS should have defaulted to one instead of zero.  Wouldn't a one actually cause the average to drop more? Zero is okay if they are not calculated in the average.

Thanks everyone for your comments and advice.  They are greatly appreciated.  I am ready to count it as a lesson learned and get DD to move on and focus on the study again.  DD has been traumatized by this whole process and cried her eyes out for the past week. I am pretty sure it has hurt her performance in the SAT this morning as well.  We need to overcome this and move on.[/quote]
