Personal growth comes from failure.

He did not study enough. He needs to improve his skills with his future classes.

Inquiring about changing a college grade?

Unless there's a very specific reason he needs an extremely high GPA in college, it really doesn't matter whether he gets an A or a B in a single class. In 5 years he probably won't remember the name of that class and employers don't give a crap. Maybe if he's pre-med but even that path allows for a few B grades as long as his GPA is in the 3.9 range.

No Professor will respect your DC for acting like a jerk on social media. Your child should be considerate to all the professors because one day he will need letters of recommendation from 3 of them and professors know who the jerks are. Op, do better. Teach your child to do better. He earned the grade that he got. Accept it. Use it as a lesson learned to do better next semester.

I posted above and didn't even see that in the OP. OMG! Way to self-sabotage!


Truly. What a stupid thing to do: post on social vial media. OP’s kid will become the laughingstock of the faculty lunchroom. What are you thinking OP?

+1 As a professor, I find this incredibly immature. Also, my first thought - did your child review the syllabus to see if there is a grading policy?
Also, please don't encourage your child to be a jerk. Your child is weaponizing social media. This will come back to haunt him.

First it is not bad, second have you not seen what kids post about on Tiktok? Normal college age kids? This is nothing.



It’s not normal to beg and plead and complain about your profesor online because you didn’t do enough work to earn a better grade.

If they didn’t think it were a bad grade they wouldn’t be trying to get it changed.

Did he attend every class and sit in the front and raise his hand every class? The grade is on him! Don’t make the professor out to be a bad guy. Also, you want to show respect to your professor, not try to shame them on the internet. His next job prospect will see that attitude and it will bite him in the butt even harder. He earned the 89% and he should settle down. The A’s were probably 90-100. And, the B’s were probably 80-89.9999. Yes, it stings that he was close, but this is fair to have a grade cut-off. Let it be incentive to work harder next term. But, please discourage TikTok nonsense. That will end up making him look bad and nothing goes away from the internet. It’s always there. Always. Teach your kid to be better than that.

Professors HATE kids who argue to get a higher grade (unless they have a legit alternative right answer).

I suggest your kid stop this by college. No faculty member with integrity would succumb to such tactics.

( You are asking the teacher to cheat on your behalf!)

I think posting as a “ I am so pissed geez I wish I had done better” is weird but ok, I guess. I do not think posting as a way to complain about the professor is in any way appropriate behavior. If so then what an immature asswipe.

Not everyone does. Not even in high school.


^^ yet another reason why admissions focusing on GPA more than standardized tests is incredibly short sighted. Too bad for this generation though.
