Case: Teacher's Kid
You have student in your class whose mother is a teacher in your school system. This student is very difficult in class and refuses to do any work. The student has the attitude that because his mother is a teacher, he is going to pass no matter what. His mother frequently comes to the school for meetings with her child's teachers asking them to do whatever they can to help him. You continue to offer help as far as tutoring, offering to take late assignments, extra credit assignments, yet the student continues to just do the minimum. The student brings his grade up to almost passing, by the end of the semester. On one of the last days of school, you ask students to write a reflection about the class, this student writes that he didn't do anything in the class all semester, and knew he was going to pass regardless because its always been that way for him. Do you give him the grade he earned, or give him that extra point or two to pass him along to avoid conflict?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
This case is so crazy to me! Of course you would give the student the grade that the earned. Hopefully throughout the year you have kept wonderful records that support the grade you have given. You are not doing the student or their parents a favor by pushing them along. At some point, they will be a student in a school where their parent is not a teacher and they will not be given any favors. Until then, there attitude is preventing them from learning the content they need to. Our job is too important to just pass kids through. |

| Comments: Yes! Being a teacher is more than just passing kids through. They need to learn to be accountable for themselves because one day they will not have their mom by their side backing them up if they may get fired at their job! |
