<p>How are teachers allowed to be so arbitrary and say, “If you turn this one thing in late it’s an F”? Unless it was the only assignment for the grading period, it should not be an F. If he had 5 90s and one zero, the average would be 75. </p>
<p>I’m very glad that the gradebooks are all accessible on line to us now. The teacher puts in the grade and the weighting and the computer does the arithmetic. No turning a 70 into a 50 just to prove a point.</p>
