[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 367450, member: 1967"] I teach online high school math courses and cheating is a [U]big[/U] problem in online classes. Of course, I am not saying that is what happened here but that the teacher is suspicious does not make her a bad person or teacher or deserving of being "punched in the face." We have had students in the past that made A's on all of the math tests during the course and then made scores in the 20's on the face-to-face final exam. It was found out later that parents or friends had been doing all of the work for the students. This has happened so often that we have had to start a new policy that the student must make a grade on the face-to-face final that is within 25 points of their test average or come back for a closely proctored second final exam. If the student still can't come within 25 points of the course test average, the student does not get credit for the course. I am amazed that your school system allows parents to be involved in deciding on things like promotions for their child's teacher. I see all sorts of conflict of interest problems in a situation like that. I hope that this gets resolved for your difficult child. I know of an English teacher where a college professor accused her of writing her daughter's essays for her (the professor knew that she was an English teacher). It was very upsetting for the teacher and her daughter. I think it was resolved by having the student write an essay in front of the professor so he could see the quality of her writing. ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
