[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One thing I wonder if OP has considered is he turned it in and the work was terrible so the teacher just let the 50 stand. I have done that. Kids score a 35% on the rubric but I don’t want to score them lower than a kid who did nothing would get so I round it up to a 50. Typically that comes with the chance to redo, but not in the last week of school. [/quote]

Doubtful as the kid had an A already in the class up to that point.[/quote]

Yeah but he was absent and it was the last week and he turned it in 2 days later … he might’ve rushed it. Keep in mind, the A could’ve been from the benefit of the retakes we have to allow kids now. You never know. [/quote]

No because retakes can only earn 80% max - that’s not an A.[/quote]

Do you not know how averages work? I didn’t say every single thing he ever did was retaken which would then be a B. But he had an A. Not an A+, not a 99%, so it’s possible he did well on some things and redid others. We really don’t know. [b]The most likely scenario is he told mom he turned it in and actually didn’t.[/b] [/quote]

How would you know? It could just as easily be the scenario described earlier. Grades were due Tuesday so she submitted them with the 50% still in there and didn’t change it after he turned in the paper. Either way, why didn’t she respond to the email?[/quote]

It seems like to already know, so why respond? The assignment was turned in after grades were due.[/quote]

He had every right to turn it in late as he was sick Tuesday. What is so hard about this?[/quote]

Once the grades are submitted, the gradebook is locked. A teacher is not gonna go back and update one grade.[/quote]

That’s why I suggested to email someone in admin who can fix it.

But OP has fled. What do I care?![/quote]

But admin is not going to fix it without talking to the teacher. They’re not just going to change a student’s grades because they got an email.[/quote]

I think they will since it’s literally an A- vs an A and like so many have said, it’s middle school, so who really cares about the grade? They don’t want a parent on their back. Easier to give in at this point.

I disagree. They don't even know if he turned it in...and the kid is leaving. [/quote]

If OP would update we would see what happens![/quote]
