Guest guest Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 I need some advice, opinions...etc. I vowed to step back this year and I have...my son was doing ok....but I looked on letter grade and he got a 50 on a math quiz, his English grade is now at 78 as well as Math and his science grade is a 37.... His science grade should be higher...he had a lab measurement report due and I helped him by typing it...he brought it in...he got it back saying it would be an 80 with the revisions....we revised it....got it back ...more revision...revised it and revised it again...of course it was due on Friday and my son said it was due on Tuesday....so he got a detention but they took it away since he handed it in on Monday. I sort of felt this teacher was looking for too much from my son...the report was creating a new measuring tool and then explaining how to use it....he wanted details ...like go to class 100, walk in and turn left...go to the end and make a right and walk to the counter. On the counter will be the box....and then go into very detailed directions... I guess I am pissed that after all this work he is only getting a 75 becuase he didn't bring back the original work and I threw it out...(my fault)... I guess I am starting to worry again...80 is not bad but in our district that is a C....and anything below 70 is failing...His English is not going so well either... Am I worrying too much. Am I expecting too much? I think it bothers me because school was important to me as a child and I always did so well...
