[quote=Anonymous]NP, and I’m feeling some sympathy for OP, but with reservations.

Sounds like OP’s kid was accused of plagiarism and grades reflected that, but without the teacher reaching out to OP.

I, too, would be upset if my kid got a D for plagiarism if I thought it was incorrect. I, too would be very upset if it was proven to be incorrect and no one was willing to change the grade. Is that what happened?

CES teachers have an insane grading workload. Insane. As a CES parent, as much as I loved the program, I wish the kids had half the written assignments so that teachers and students had more time to work on relevant feedback and revisions. As it is, it can feel like pretty rapid fire assignments and unless it is a super organized teacher, the grades can lag by several weeks or even months, so a child doing poorly doesn’t necessarily know it until there is a long backlog of incorrect papers. The grading can feel opaque at times.

OP, it sounds like you have fought the good fight, but for your child’s sake, move on. The stress in your posts is alarming. Since grades are a factor in MS magnet admissions, definitely send the information you have about the grading problem in with your appeal, but maybe stop talking about it with your kid. There are lots of kids with straight A’s and high scores who didn’t get into the magnet programs. MS is a big change and your child needs your support and calm going forward, no matter what school.[/quote]
