[quote=Anonymous]DP. When the bad grade is for an assignment done earlier in the quarter, but withheld and entered in the last-minute; this is a technique used by some teachers called 'jack-in-the-box' grading.

A rotten-egg will withhold officially entering an assignment into the system for three weeks.  This way the student can't redo the assignment or recover from it.

It's worse use would be by an Elementary School 5th grade, Middle School 8th grade, or HS Sophomore / Junior teacher who don't want a child to enter, for example, a Magnet program or a good college.

It can also be done if the grade in the computer system is changed after the graded assignments were returned to the kid.  This is becoming less frequent, since there's the chance a parent took a screenshot of the grade before it was changed; so more chance of getting caught doing it.

Before the MCPS admins argue 'this never happens' - yes, it does.  It happens far more frequently than anyone at MCPS would like to admit.[/quote]
