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]

She already said that it was!!![/quote]

OP has never answered whether the teacher agree that it would be eligible for a higher grade. [/quote]

I think some are assuming that because the teacher told her what was wrong, that it could be resubmitted and be regraded. [/quote]

Read OP at 4/14 11:22[/quote]

OP never says that the teacher agreed to re-grade the work. Kids were permitted to resubmit. I guess everyone is assuming that meant it got re-graded but now here does OP ever state that was anything more than an assumption- and an apparently a mistaken one. [/quote]

It is very clear that if the teacher permitted resubmissions that it was to improve the grade. Otherwise there is no point. If the teacher encouraged resubmissions but never had any intention of grading them then that’s even worse and the parent has even more grounds to complain.[/quote]

I don’t think that’s clear at all. The teacher may have agreed to resubmissions for feedback purposes but not to improve a grade. That happens all the time.

I totally get being concerned - especially when an A student fails on a major assignment. I’d certainly want to talk to the teacher. But unless the assignment was eligible for resubmission for a higher grade, that the teacher didn’t change the grade is not a legitimate concern. And many people have asked this question directly and OP has not answered, which speaks volumes. [/quote]

I have two kids in MCPS. One in middle school and one in high school. No this does not happen “all the time”. No teacher has ever suggested that a child resubmit an assignment “for feedback purposes”. What a waste of time. This simply doesn’t happen. OP, there are some nasty, delusional people in this thread. You should absolutely escalate if the teacher won’t respond to your request to help understand what happened. (And I say this as a parent who has never reached out to any teachers about a grade).[/quote]

Hmmm. I guess because you have two kids out of the 160,000 in MCPS you know everything.  [/quote]
