I found your post and your warped values, not so much insignificant, but appalling and worthy of mockery. Poor kid.

So now it's appalling and worthy of mockery when I stand up for my kid because the school can't figure out averages and may have made a mistake?

BTW, she's the one, on her own, who went in and talked to these teachers one on one after I emailed them and she found out today that they made several mistakes. We're all human. Her grade rose 10 POINTS in one class and 5 in another. I think her school is pretty good overall and know many of the teachers personally. How many times does this happen to kids that feel like they can't question what a teacher says or does? I have a MS in Education and I'd say about 40% of the people I graduated with were going to turn out to be great teachers. So I look out for my kids with that other 60%. No, I am not a teacher, as my husband and I chose to run a small business instead.

I also know that a few years back if you graduated with a degree in teaching Math, Science, or a foreign language you were almost guaranteed a job as there was a shortage. I went to school with many of these people that didn't know all that much Algebra themselves, but are now trying to teach it to our children. So, yeah, I will check what's going on with my daughter and she has learned how the system works and to respectfully ask questions. She's 13 and I give her tons of credit for her accomplishments.
