[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Academic bias, among the many biases anyone has to deal with, is a thing. Grades are a way for a manipulative and unethical educator to translate that bias. There is no way that I will allow my CHILD to fight that uphill battle alone. I will intervene if my child is unable to obtain a fair resolution. I am not going to “this” any of the rude teacher voices on here to justify that position. That is what it is and that’s it. I don’t support or encourage disrespect towards either party, me as a parent or any school representative. I am only on the side of what’s fair. [/quote]

This actually comes across as the rudest post on the entire thread. It’s ironic that you say you don’t support or encourage disrespect, yet your tone is disrespectful and condemning.

“Fair” is subjective. I once had a parent tell me the student’s grade in my class (a high B) wasn’t “fair” because the student got As in all other subjects. They accused me of poor grading practices simply because I wouldn’t round up two percentage points. I was told I was single-handedly ruining the child’s college prospects. [/quote]
