[QUOTE="CDA, post: 99873, member: 103"] I never said "you" said your teacher was on crack, "My" kids would say that. And yes even when i was in school, you had to show your work. I am good at math and when I would get the answer in shorter steps, my teacher would challenge me, so I just started doing them the way he showed us how to so there were no issues. If you know it is because of lack of showing your work, then change it and show the work they require. Do a sample problem and ask what steps am I missing that you (teacher) want to see, so I can get the most points on this as possible. Someone said a "D" is passing so what is the big deal. The big deal is if you want to go to college. Low grade point averages are not going to get you into the schools you want to go to. Add, your major will require you to get a C- or better or you will have to take the class again and that is wasted money. Here in California, if you get a 3.0 or better it is a huge savings on your car insurance. When my kids were in school and did not maintain a 3.0 or better, they did not drive. One my oldest tried that once and when she had to be driven to school by her little sister, and all her friends saw this, she maintained the grades. [/QUOTE]
