if they submitted the grades and provided clear feedback and I knew where my child stood, I would not be sweating the retakes.

I am not surprised. As a parent, I think the whole re-take is BS and further adds to the already lowered expectations currently.

I’ve been trying to fix incompletes for 2 weeks now. This grading system really sucks and is unfair to parents who are not on top of things. Let’s go back to the basics and have assignments and tests on paper that are returned to the students graded the following week.

Las day of school is tomorrow and teachers are posting incorrect grades tonight. Ridiculous.


What do you mean incorrect grades? And are these recent assignments or older ones?


Older assignments just being entered into Aspen now being marked as incomplete (when they were completed and submitted on time)

The way final grades are calculated is so inflated it’s ridiculous. If the average quality points are a 3.31 you grt an A- (a 3.3 is a B+). It’s outlandish.
