Teacher Losing Assignments?

Pre-College Issues High School Life
1

<p>I ended up with a B+ in Honors Chemistry. An 88. My teacher lost two of my assignments and blamed me. He ended up never putting in two 100 point assignments I turned in. He put them in as zeros. Those two quizzes could've bumped me up at an A-. I said something to him and he said that if he didn't have them I never turned them in. That sucks. And even then I am not upset because I wanted to do better than I did first semester and I accomplished my goal, but I will always wonder a little. </p>

<p>Anyone have something like this happen to them? Because as much as people say it has happened to them, this is the first time a teacher has actually lost one of my assignments. Meh. Can't do anything about it.</p>

<p>One of the teachers at my school lost a whole classes assignments that had to be turned in to an external exam board, they weren’t exactly happy. But at the same time, there are plenty of people who claim to have handed things in when they haven’t, so you can’t really blame the teacher for not believing you.</p>

<p>I hate when this happens. My friend had her teacher lose 3 (!!!) projects, and her grade dropped to a 56%. I understand teachers not believing that they lost assignments, but it’s a little ridiculous when 3 projects get lost and they still don’t believe it.</p>

<p>I have actually have two teachers that do this. My Spanish III teacher and my Chemistry teacher. The good thing is they never make us re-do what they lost!</p>

5

<p>That’s why I never trust teachers over 50 or teachers that are half blind. -______-</p>

<p>One teacher lost our entire class’ research papers which we spent a month on, so he just didn’t put anything in the gradebook. Almost like we never did the darn things.</p>

<p>if it’s a forgetful teacher, I’ld just email the stuff as well as turn it in, so they’ll know you’re not lying</p>

<p>That happened in my physics class for first semester. The teacher never graded any of the papers and apparently lost some of our assignments too. Thanks to that I ended up getting a C for the course. I was so glad when I switched to a different teacher this semester.</p>

<p>Take a picture of your work before you turn it in?</p>

10

<p>Or just type it up? then you have as many copies as you need</p>

<p>^This is a good idea. If it kept going on, and it dropped you to a really low grade, you could get your parents to vouch for you.:)</p>

12

<p>I had a similar situation, a teacher lost one of my tests that dropped me 8%. I re-did it, did a little worse than I did at first, then he found it and never told me. I ended up finding out from another student. It really made me mad but I couldn’t do anything about it. </p>

<p>Thankfully he let me re-take it. But I think you ought to discuss it with your teacher. If it was a quiz, then it should have been in clase and if you were there then you should have taken it. Try taking and approaching the teacher calmly. :)</p>

<p>TickGrey, if they were research papers, didn’t you all type them? He could have just had y’all print new copies… </p>

<p>The problem with typing work is that they still don’t believe that you did it on time. They just think you never did it and then are making an excuse to turn it in now.</p>

14

<p>you are still 5 points away from an A…</p>

15

<p>I had a teacher once who never lost anything. And he really did, never lost anything.</p>

16

<p>^^^when you save a file though, doesn’t it record the first date it was saved?</p>

17

<p>What I love is when a teacher says you never gave it in - and you have it in your hands, graded.</p>

18

<p>@CSIHSIS LOL, that happened to be with my english teacher… My grade was 5 points lower than it should’ve been! Luckily I checked with her to see why my grade was so low…</p>

<p>And my 9th grade biology teacher claimed I never handed in like 2 or 3 labs… So I redid them, and guess what happened? HE FREAKIN’ FOUND THEM >.< lmao, I was so mad XD</p>

19

<p>There is one teacher at my school that I never had, he teaches science, that would lost almost everyone’s papers continuously and always blame it on them. Because of course he wouldn’t have noticed if not one person handed something in.</p>

<p>I had a problem with this in 6th grade - After the first time, I made a copy of everything of value I turned in so it wouldn’t happen again.</p>

<p>Also be sure to keep everything you get back…just on Friday I got a progress report that gave me a C instead of a B because of an error on the teachers part entering in grades.</p>
