<p>Have any of you ever seen teachers because you were concerned about a grade you got, on a assignment or a term/quarter grade? How did it turn out? Have any of you ever seen them if your grades were borderline and convince them to give you the higher grade?</p>
<p>No. It never concerned me. I had final grades of C's in several classes, and still did fine with the whole college process. Grades are really rather unimportant. If you learned something from the assignment, that's what matters.</p>
<p>Ha. That's rather funny.</p>
<p>It really depends on the teacher. But if you are going to do it start out by asking why you received the grade you did.</p>
<p>I've done it before. Teachers want you to succeed, most of the time they're willing to help you.</p>
<p>Also, make sure they know that you're doing it because you want to understand the material, not just for a grade. Then they'll be more willing to help you.</p>
<p>See them in the bedroom if you want real results.</p>
<p>...Wow. I can only hope that wasn't a real suggestion.</p>
<p>^ ew!...that's pretty gross, considering the fact that most of my teachers are in their late 40's/ early 50's...</p>
<p>"See them in the bedroom if you want real results."</p>
<p>^^haha</p>
<p>Yes, I have seen teachers about my grades before (and it usually ends up w/ a positive outcome). You should actually have a legitimate reason to think that your grade should be changed (don't just go grade grubbing b/c you're upset that your 89.4 was so close to an A).</p>
<p>I would have had perfect grades on a 10 point scale. Curse you lucky slackers!</p>
<p>Anyway, mine are pretty hardcore. They do not offer to give you an assignment or anything at all to help your grade even if you are on the 93.7 mark and are reaching the 95 for an A. No matter if you ask them with 3 weeks and beg for mercy and declare how determined you are. (At least mine do not so I had to stick with my B). =(</p>
<p>I have a bad grade in math class this year so far and I am going to try to bring it up. I hope this time this other teacher is more sympathetic to my pleads. The other two I saw showed no mercy so hope my advice helps.</p>
<p>I have no problem talking to a teacher about a grade. I always like to know a detailed reason behind a grade and what I can do to improve. At times, I believe my grade is incorrect and that I deserve something higher. I politely bring it to the attention of the teacher. Most times it gets you nothing, but it can't hurt as long as your respectful. I used to have an anger problem during high school. I once got an important paper back and and it had a big fat F at the top. We had been given a list of topics on which to write the paper and I spent many days writing mine. We were told to type the question we chose at the top of the page. I forgot to type the question at the top but my paper itself was excellent and I made clear in my thesis what my overall topic was. But the english teacher gave me an F and I was sooooo angry. I tried to be civilized and went to her after class, saying that I should at l east receive some credit for writing a good paper. She said that without a topic at the top of the page, she won't even read it. I asked her to read it now. She said absolutely not. This pushed me over the edge. I started yelling at her, she started yelling at me. We have this intense argument and I end up crumbling the paper and throwing it into the trash in front of her. I then walked out steaming. I came back about 10 min later to apologize, and she accepted it. I just was sooo angry. So yeah, hope you guys have better luck when you go to teachers with incorrect or unjust grades :)</p>
<p>haha it's so fun flirting with hot substitutes. we had one a couple of weeks ago in english and she was like only 22. the whole period me and a few other guys just kept saying subtle things to her, she didn't understand half of them but it was funny because she wasn't offended by any of it lol</p>
<p>my school is only a decade old...so all of my teachers are new recruits fresh out of college, filled with energy and passion...for teaching. Ah, youth.</p>
<p>Haha. =/ Never happens. You get what you get. There's no extra credit and all you can make up are tests for a 70, but that's because the teachers are forced to let you re-take tests.</p>
