We are in the last week of school. Promotion was scheduled for Wednesday. I was still getting this question,
“What can I do to get my grade up? Do you have any extra credit?”
In a few cases all the student would need to do is turn in the last homework assignment, get half credit and move from an “F” to a “D”. They were that close. Did they do it? Not this year.
Usually the student asking this question has done no work all semester, does not bring their tools, has numerous tardies and unexcused absences and has been kicked out of class frequently. Their average could be in the teens or low twenty’s. It is like being a doctor, removing the wrong kidney and asking if you can fill a tooth to make up for it.
Stupid question, bad timing.
