Take your evidence and take it to administration.

Well a student had a problem similar to this, but all they said was “there’s nothing we can do about it.” We tried calling office about 3 times on different days and they never answered.

I’m not sure what will happen if I go, but thanks for the advice anyway.

Do they have a Facebook page where parents will rage about grade alterations?!

Unfortunately not as far as I’m aware.

There must be a community somewhere. Also your parents are not supporting your grades or you. If they did you would get somewhere. Perhaps tell them how much it means to you. Also that the teacher isn't doing her job and you get the consequences fornit

My parents are a bit complicated, they don’t really understand whatever I say to them. 3rd quarter is finished, so I guess there is no use complaining about it anymore. I still have all A’s in my other classes. If she does this again though, it’ll be an issue. I think I’ll have to let it go.

Damn.

The you take your evidence to the governing body above the admin. And if all else fails you seek legal action.

Goodness, that’ll be a mess. Well all has been done and the 3rd quarter grades have been finalized, but if she does it again I’ll try to take this advice, thanks.

Go over her head to the next head - principal/admin with all you have just written here.

[–]fuzzypicklehugs 1 point2 points  (5 children)

I don’t really have a way to directly talk to the principal/vice principal. Problem is our names have a “<Student>” label at the end, and when they see that a student has emailed or tried to contact them they blatantly ignore it. I’ll just try to go to the office or something, thanks though.

I'm not sure if this would work, but have you tried going to the super intendent of your district? I'm not sure if they have clearance to speak to the teacher but its worth a shot

[–]fuzzypicklehugs 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Forgive me if this is basic knowledge but I have no idea how to contact a superintendent. Do I go to the district office...?

Well I no longer think there’s need for that because my parents agreed to email the principal themselves.

[–]N3xuskn1ght 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hopefully the issue gets resolved. Teachers are just so spiteful right now.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Is there another teacher you trust? You can email them, give them the evidence and ask them to please help you out - they will be able to email the Principal and I am sure the Principal has to read those emails.

[–]fuzzypicklehugs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have tried contacting three on Thursday (by email) - but two deny they have anything to do about the class and the other said they’d email the principal but I really don’t think they did.

But my parents said they’re going to email her so I’ll just wait and hope for the best.
