Bad Grade Talk
I might get a D on my report card for Religion. My mom is really strict about grades and she won't accept anything lower than a B in any subjects but Computers. I've gotten almost 100% on every test and quiz I've taken in that class, plus i got A's on two of my projects. I know one of the problems is that i forget do to the homework (and she assigns only three each marking period), and i accept that. But my teacher gave me a 0 on my third project that I handed in and she even saw it. what she did is that the other section of my class got to do their's a month later cuz she forgot to assign it to them. The thing is that i thought she said that if you were okay with your project grade keep it home, but she says she really said that if you're okay with your project grade, bring it back to her a second time. Please tell em how I can make my mom understand so she won't blow her stack?
Thanks so much

Just be sure to explain to your mom exactly what happened, and I'm sure she'll understand. And be sure to remind her you always try your absolute best, anyhow. :)

All you need to do is tell your mother what this teacher did that confused you about handing things in again or keeping them at home. It's not in the least bit fair that you got a D while your classmates got to hand their projects much later or resubmit for a better grade. That's BS and her fault.
You need to take it with your mother to the principal and have it resolved. If not satisfied approach a school trustee and the board about the D that you shouldn't have received. If mom blows her stack over this she's not seeing the real picture and what happened that you were wrong.
Religion is not a course to worry about when it comes to grades and academic standing and getting into post-secondary institutions. It's a belief system you are being taught and nobody can ask you about it or judge you on it. It's not anything applicable to college or university applications.
They simply won't care and cannot that you got a D in it. It's like a D in computers to college screeners unless it's a catholic institution. Screeners won't concern themselves with your standing in a religious course as that's not something they can even ask about.
Challenge the grade with your parents present and see what happens. If mom is unhappy over it let her get annoyed and she'll soon calm down. You know you did nothing wrong. It's about EFFORT not the grade here that counts. You did everything you were told but the teacher contradicted herself costing you what could have been a B or C. C-D is average. It's not like you failed.
In the future do your best and let the chips fall where they may with grades. If your parents get upset realize that you did all you could including asking for help. Don't let them make you a basketcase over this.
Just tell them what happened and how the teacher confused you and then let them handle it and if she yells don't argue and let it pass. That's how to handle it. Even if she punishes you accept it as you can't win arguing but do state your point about the teacher and ask her to help you get it solved as it was her in the wrong. And you can prove that by having other classmates back you up.
