Case: Grade Changer
You are a new 3rd grade teacher and it is the end of the marking period. You are staying after school hours to do some last minute grading and inputting grades into the system. A parent enters your room and demands to speak to you about their child's recent test grade of a "c". The parent claims that this test score will lower their child's current grade standing of an "A" to a "B" and this is unacceptable. After a long conversation that parent requests that you change their child's grade. What would you do in this situation?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would not change the grade. This would be neither ethical nor fair. I would explain to the parent that tests are a big part of the final grade, and that if I changed it for their child, I would have to change everyone's grade. |

| Comments: Yes, I do not think you should change the grade, you should not let parents push you over. Instead prove to them why they are wrong, and show them what they can do next semester to get a better grade. |

| Comments: I do not think the teacher should mention that if they changed the grade for their child,then they would have to change everyone's grade. I would have a rubric of the way I graded the assignment to give to the parent. |

| Comments: I agree, if you come off as a pushover even in the slightest- the parent might continue to take advantage. Maybe offering to assist the student and an offer of extra credit assignments could be helpful in this situation. |
