[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have had kids lie and we've had teachers lie, it goes both ways.  We've had great teachers, ok and really really bad.

However, what would help is you as a teacher communicating through regular emails.  If you have an issue with my kid, reach out and let me know.  If they are not doing the work, reach out and let me know.  We will handle it.

But, also do your part.  Grade things on time so we know what's going on and what needs improvement.  Put assignments in the proper location online so we can find them to make sure they get done on time.  When kids reach out for extra help, return emails.  When parents email, return emails.  When kids try to ask for help in class, help and don't ignore them.[/quote]

I'll give two examples of dirty tricks that teachers play on the kids when they really don't want a child to do well.  Why do they do it?  Who knows.

One is jack-in-the-box grading.  The teacher 'forgets' to grade a few high point assignments at the beginning of the Q.  Everything looks good on mid-terms so it flies under the radar of the AP/P and parents.  Towards the end of the Q, it's SURPRISE!!!

Another is just outright changing grades.  That one is easier to catch since it leaves a trail.

I've seen both happen, by specific teachers, and it's uncommon.  Those types of people are just evil.[/quote]

We have this with one teacher.  It's really frustrating and kid is getting a much lower grade than deserved.  Kid is frustrated and gave up in that class.  [/quote]
