Thank goodness for on line grades

Gab's school usually updates them weekly.However,for some reason they were updated yesterday.Most of the grades were what I thought.Then I look at her ss grade and i was 5% points less than last week.Gabby had a 77% in the class work part of her grade there was a worksheet that Gab had a 0 on.As soon as I asked Gab she pulls the ws out and she had a 10/10 on it.I put in a voice mail to the teacher and told her Gab would be talking with her tday.It turns out the teacher just forgot to put Gabby's grade in her book so since there was not a grade she figured Gab had a 0.I am so glad that Gabby is organized about her work because she was able to show the teacher andthey teacher was able to correct it.This teacher is always a little lax about putting the grades on line and this particuler paper was dated March 7,so I should have been able rto tell her weeks a go.I wonder what happens if you have a kid who is not organized and pitches everything.It does not seem fair that a child would get a 0,if they had a 10 and the teacher made the misstake.Anyway it ended up ok and I did not need to talk to the teacher other than my intial message,Gab and teh teacher were able to resolve it now Gabby has her 96%.Hopefully the teacher will be more organized in he future and I will be keeping closer watch on her web grades.

We've caught a couple of mistakes this way as well. Teachers aren't perfect and I really try hard to remember that when we find something like that. Usually I just tell Alexis to take the paper to them and tell them we noticed a different grade online.
We caught this with one of Caleb's papers this year as well, but we had already tossed it. So we just didn't bother to say anything and we took it as a lesson learned. Keep papers until we see the grade online.
Glad you caught it and it was easily taken care of!

Gianna's school is just now introducing online grades and I can't wait.
.do you know what your school will be using?
No, we were just told about the online grading system at the last pto meeting I attended. If they told us which system they were using I dont recall what it was.
