[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry if it’s already been stated I haven’t read the responses
There are teachers like that always
The worst part is that some are in HS jeopardizing their students’ college chances 
I would recommend following up with the teacher at the first sign of their nonresponsiveness - when it becomes clear she is a lazy grader and doesn’t respond to follow ups 
It doesn’t matter in MS and maybe it’s even good for your kid to get a B and discover that the sky didn’t fall -but in HS I recommend requesting an appointment with the teacher and asking very nice and respectable but very detailed questions about the assignment and why it was graded like this and how it’s so important to your child to have timely feedback and how upset your child is etc etc 
The teacher will roll their eyes but [b]won’t mess with your child’s grade if it brings down the overall grade.[/b]
You don’t do anything disrespectful to the teacher but the teacher knows you have your child’s back [/quote]

I laughed at that.  Do you think the teacher won't give a bad grade if that's what was earned?

Op, please answer whether or not the redo was requested or otherwise agreed to.[/quote]

A C won’t turn into an A but a low B can well become a higher B just to avoid another meeting with a concerned parent 
But that’s not the key issue
The key issue is that the teacher knows she can’t really mess with this student’s grade last minute 
Please understand I am not saying the parent should threaten god forbid
Just to be concerned, polite, wordy, and happy to help the child ;) [/quote]
