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!) In this situation, no matter what the parents feels, the student got what the student earned. If the parent wanted the student to maintain their grade then that parent should have helped the student study more. You can not change the grades for everyone because then students will pass along in school without meeting the set standards.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: Great response!
