I can hear my phone ringing off the hook and my Outlook email notifications flooding in from parents.
"Why does my student have a B? a C? an F? They're a straight A student."
Parents and community members alike want teachers to do things the right way and the best way...as long as their students get A's. Now that my grading system is an honest reflection of what's been learned, I'm grading in what is a non-inflated, best-practice grading system. I have a premonition that parents are going to be irate about this. Can anyone speak from experience?
Now off to draft a template for a response letter that begins with "Your student's grade may change at any time, for better or for worse..."
