I get this from a couple parents right before the end of every grading period. I just remind the parents that their child had opportunities to bring grades up but chose not to, and the grade is what was earned.

The student actually tried to put his name on a model extra credit assignment I gave and tried to submit the same assignment under two different assignments…when I queried him about it. With his parents there, he couldn’t explain it; and the parents claimed he has accomodations and EFS issues and can’t ask for help…..I found it to be unethical…but didn’t use that term….and the parents just wanted to move beyond that to find out how he could get his grade up. Can you believe that?!

So, when parents only care about grades, your thoughts on grades for self esteem verses earning for character and integrity?

So the public unions have tried to divert funds for new students, wishing to attend private schools in Calif... any other states preventing school choice?

How have you approached your administration about pay when your pay is lower then the public schools in the area?

I like the atmosphere. It is gentle. We don't rush through our day. You are supported.
I wish it paid more.
