[quote=Anonymous]Let's get back on topic.

OP, this is the suggestion I'd give to my kid, given the following considerations:

- there are less than three months left in the school year;  
- this teacher will be giving the kid a final grade; and
- the kid is in high school and will need to face this issue in college on their own at some point.

Suggestion:

1. Let the kid make the decision about next steps.  Suggest action steps but don't demand.

- Action step 1.Request an opportunity to re-submit the paper for a better grade, addressing the comments made on the paper.

- Action step 2. If approved, address the edits, re-submit the paper

- Action step 3. If not approved, make best attempt to get a better grade on next paper. If that paper is also scored low, bring both papers to administration for review. Do not send and email.  Do this in person if possible.

As it is very close to the end of the year, and the teacher has personality flaws, I would not have my kid risk their grade to prove a point.[/quote]
