[quote]No, you're misunderstanding.  My point is that OP is not making sense.

Grades are scrutinized too carefully and OP's story doesn't add up.  If her son was really passing, meaning that he had a score of 70% or above, there is no way that a one-day lab would have enough points or enough weight to drop the entire quarter's grade down to 59.9% or below.  Especially since a lab would be in a different weight category than the tests and quizzes.  Even if his overall score had been a 61%, it would be difficult to envision a lab given enough points and value to cause the child's grade to drop to a 59.9% or below.

In other words, OP is lying about the entire scenario.

One further indicator is that IF she HAD been telling the truth she would have been falling all over herself to tell us this child's grade before the lab.

Anyway, OP is getting her wish, which is lots and lots of attention.  I just wish that some of it were therapeutic by a licensed practitioner and not enabling by a bunch of us responding on an anonymous forum.[/quote]

I think that you need to re-read the original post.   I read it as the F being for the lab only, which brought his quarterly grade down to a B from an A, which is totally possible.[/quote]
