Grades and subsequent changes are on computer system and can be part of a challenge with administrators. Getting a grade changed in our school system is a very difficult process, mainly due to past athletic dept issues.
Well, I didn’t mean to slur you. I learned to give better tests only after students lined up to argue with me about test questions they didn’t think were clear enough, asking for extra points to make up for their confusion. Sometimes I agreed with them and gave them the added points.
I believe this is what the teacher was referring to. Perhaps I am wrong, but I’ve never heard of a teacher who gives out points after a test is completed just for the sake of giving them out. That would be corrupt — and stupid.
Yes, yes, changing grades is difficult — because people have to go to a little extra effort. But it’s not impossible. And I think the student in question should press for this. It’s never too late for fairness.
