[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My child returned from being sick and had to immediately take a quiz that day with the class that they had been told when they were absent. My child explained to the teacher they had been sick and didn’t even know about the quiz. Didn’t matter. The teacher made them take it. They failed it. I guess the teacher felt sorry for my child and allowed them to retake it. But what a jerk making them take it in the first place and causing undue stress on my child. [/quote]

Imagine being so addicted to outrage that even when the situation is corrected, you still need strangers to validate your tantrum. Your kid moved on faster than you did.[/quote]

Are you a teacher or something? I can’t imagine getting this worked up about someone else’s experience and trying to invalidate them. I was asked about the details and answered. Some teachers are not compassionate after illnesses, that’s all. This was one example. I have others too. [/quote]

DP.  Former teacher here.

The teacher gave the child a make up quiz.  What is the big deal?
The rest of the class was taking the quiz--maybe the quiz included a lot of earlier information he should have known, maybe not.

And, has PP ever told us how many days the kid was out?  Was this an assigned quiz or a pop quiz?

Nevertheless, the child made up the quiz.  What is the big deal?[/quote]

There isn’t a big deal. And the PP was already asked how many days the kid was out and she didn’t respond. That’s telling.

The teacher already made allowances without even being asked to, and I’m guessing there’s a large part of this story the PP isn’t sharing (how many days out, that the test info was online, that this make-up procedure was already posted).

But let’s not pass on the opportunity to make this teacher into a “jerk” and then project that on all teachers![/quote]

FCPS has a policy The teacher didn’t follow. The teacher is in the wrong. It has nothing to do with any other teachers.[/quote]

Please point to the specific policy for this specific circumstance.
