Wow.
I trust this student will be graded 'D' or less, and a comment about non-participation in class activity will be made on the report card?
I've been told by my mother in law, who has been teaching for a very long time, that they are not allowed to write anything negative on report cards anymore. She's not happy about it.
She's also being pressured to give a kid an A, that she doesn't think deserves one.
One of the big issues is that during school years we seem to reward mediocrity. The system it seems would have us all tell someone good job for trying hard even if your not even close rather than addressing the issue at hand.

This is literally a parent allowing a student to get out of an assessment task because said student may find it a bit intimidating, scary, or perhaps out of her comfort zone. How the parent expects the child to improve any skills without having to develop and apply a bit of resilience, I have no idea.
The student is doing it tomorrow, on the last day of term, although said student (and parent) doesn't know it yet.

He knows my stance on changing them - major no no, don't do it.
He has weakened to a few who want to change the no's because we haven't had a return this year. F#ck me, do these halfwits know the odds of getting some sort of collect? Do they realise it's called gambling for a reason?
I feel sick in advance about checking our previous lot of no's in every weeks results now.

How sick are you gonna feel if you're sharing in a multimillion dollar payday on Sunday because they got changed?
Buy your own ticket with the old numbers too. Win win.

Or stop gambling altogether and put the money aside that you would normally spend on it... guarantee you'll come out in front!
