Lisa in SC Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 This is my first post on the new format. Hopefully, I don't mess it up. I also want to say that I quickly took my photo on my cell phone so I could post an avatar. Now that we can, it seems mandatory to me. lol Please excuse my post-cleaning frenzy hairdo/no makeup. Ah well, at least it's me. Anyway, I just wanted to update those of you who advised me regarding my dd15's school situation. To briefly restate, she was given a zero on a final exam because the teacher thought she was talking. Dd was insistent that she never talked during that class. You wise women advised me to speak with the teacher, and I sent an email requesting a meeting. This was the reply I received, Mr. and Mrs. T______, E_______ has been a good student for me and I think she was distracted by others around her. I did grade her exam and did not give her a zero. Others around her were communicating and giggling and E_______ seemed to be involved with them. I can say that E________ had a better attitude than the others when I asked them for their tests. She brought the test to me and did not argue with me as the others did. I appreciated that she was respectful about the situation. If you need anything further please let me know. Mrs. ______ A meeting was never necessary. Of course, I replied to the above, and dd is very thankful/grateful/relieved that her character was taken into consideration in the situation. I think we all learned something from this. Thank you again for your words of advice on the old boards. Lisa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dayle in Guatemala Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 You handled that so well! And what a tribute to your dd that the teacher noticed that she behaved so differently from the others. That's what probably made the difference for her in the end--her attitude was great. Congratulations!!!:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
