I've seen it done when a senior ended up with a 67 when passing was a 70, but never seen a whole group like that messed with, you need to get up in their face about that. Ultimately, however, they're the ones who sign the transcripts when the kids graduate, so it's on them, document the shitout of it though.

I hope and pray that you mistyped that and really didn't intend to use the word DO. Where the frick did you go to school? It is obvious that they gave you better grades than you deserved.

Its against the law

Principals were caught changing grades for athletes
quote:

.(1) A teacher's determination of a student's grade as a measure of the academic achievement or proficiency of the student shall not be altered or changed in any manner by any school official or employee other than the teacher except as provided in this Subsection.

dministrator changed all of my students grades to raise each class average by about 5 percentage points (from low C average to a mid C average).

The number of students who failed did not change.

This was done after I had submitted my final grades and without notifying me.


And why do you care? Really? Someone taking some of your power to impact someone else's life?
