What you are teaching them is that you care more about the grade than your child. Who goes around checking averages for thei children’s grades? Is there so little going on in your life that you have to live through your children? It seems to me that threatening to go to the school board over a .1% difference ( what you call rounding) is a waste of the school board’s time and effort. You mention that it is math and science that she is getting lower grades in, have you ever considered that she just is not doing the work the way the teacher has asked for it to be done? I still remember a college thermodynamics class where the prof insisted that you fold the paper a certain way, put your name in the upper right hand corner, and an answer column down the left margin. If you did not do it that way you got ZERO for the assignment (even if it was the final exam). I only had to screw that up on one quiz before I became compliant....lesson learned

Because in her school the .1% takes her out of honors, NHS, and an academic award at the end of the year SHE has been working for for 3 years. She asked me to help her keep track of her grades, she is in jr high. I have plenty to do, thank you, other then checking her grades and so does she, which is why I help her keep track. Gee, I'm sorry if your anal retentive Prof made you so grouchy, if her grade isn't fair I'll make sure it is.
