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 feel in this situation it is important to stand your ground with the grade that was originally earned. It is important to show the parent that you are a firm teacher and just because they are unhappy with the way their child performed on the test, that doesn't mean you are going to cave to their want of a better grade. Maybe suggest that you will spend some extra time with their child to help them improve on the next test. |

| Comments: I believe this is the best solution because you can't change a students grade because a parent asks them or else they would have to change everyone's grades. |
