<p>It's probably happened to you before, when you turn something in and then the teacher puts it in as missing when you are 100% sure you handed it in.</p>
<p>We had a physics lab this week that was 170 points, and I turned it in; except my teacher has it as "missing" and it brought my grade from a B- to a D. I told her that I'm 100% sure that I handed it in and I had people vouch for me that they saw I had it done, except she just says "I haven't lost one assignment in my 13 years of teaching and there's no reason I'd lose yours." Well ma'am there's a first time for everything. I can't redo it because it involved fancy equipment and a lot of setting up so I'm basically stuck with a 0 and a D+ in the class.</p>
<p>How do I go about fixing this? I already have other D's and I'm trying not to get rescinded...</p>
<p>Wow, that’s unfortunate. Do you have any part of the lab saved? I suggest that you converse with your counselor regarding your grade. Perhaps he or she will be enabled to direct you to an alternative staff member.</p>
<p>Just redo it and get it in. It should be a lot faster the second time.</p>

<p>I don’t think that he can undergo that action.</p>
<p>If they let me redo it, I’ll redo it. Unless it was a reallyyyy long/hard assignment or they don’t give me the opportunity; then I’d argue and convince them of the unfairness. If they still didn’t fix it, I’d get my parents involved rofl. This doesn’t apply to little tiny assignments though; I’m not a grade grubber.</p>
<p>However, this hasn’t happened with any of my significant-enough assignments. My teachers are pretty good with not losing our work.</p>
<p>I see your a senior. well, Indiana U. won’t like the D so if you can’t change the grade, than I would write a letter to your college and if necessary get a letter from other students/teachers/counselor to vouch for you. I know that might be awkward but it might be needed. I don’t know how strict Indiana is about rescission though.</p>
<p>BTW, in CA teachers can give any grades they want. Sorry :(</p>

<p>Appeal to the principal if your teacher is being a jerk.</p>
<p>^ Yes, if your teacher refuses then appeal to your guidance counselor. I don’t think the principle is the best option because he has a lot of other stuff to do. First go to your counselor who will then relay your plea to the principle if needed.</p>
