Today, I found out that my writing teacher entered in one of my paper grades wrong. After many emails, she said she can't change my grade unless I fax her the original. I need that grade fixed so I can keep my scholarship. I can’t find the paper anywhere. That one paper could cost me $30,000. FML

Same thing different taste

Underfunded and underappreciated

Today, I got back the essay I wrote about how my country's education system is fucked. At one point, I made a spelling mistake. My teacher wrote a note about it, basically calling me illiterate, and telling me to pay attention in school instead of whining about it. She misspelled "school". FML

#1: By original, the teacher means the graded copy so that she can verify that the OP isn't BSing her about the wrong grade thing. And, OP, that really sucks. I hope you find it.

I just love how everyone on FML picks out tiny details of errors that anyone would have made to to justify saying YDI. It's the teachers responsibility to enter the grades correctly, and they caused the unnecessary problem.

Much like someone having a high credit score and being considered trust worthy to finance things, it sounds like you have high enough grades to have earned enough credit worthiness with trust. I would approach the principal or school head along with your parents, and petition the grade. One grade shouldn't be the only thing standing between you and a scholarship.

That's ****** up, I hope you find it. Yeah, you SHOULD have kept it somewhere where you'd know where it is, but accidents happen. Especially if you're someone who gets assigned a ton of papers, it's not that absurd to think that one could get misplaced. Not a YDI, your teacher is the idiot.

@44 Apparently not, considering that this one paper determines whether or not the OP keeps the scholarship or not. That means that they probably have lower grades in other classes as well, low enough to put the OP on the borderline. This one grade probably determines if they get an A or a B in the class and therefore determines their overall GPA. IF said GPA isn't at, say, 3.5 (in most cases for scholarships this big)....they lose their scholarship. If you can't maintain a 3.5 when vying to keep a 30,000 scholarship you DEFINITELY deserve it. I'm looking at the bigger picture here. Sure, I'd be pissed off too, but I wouldn't be at a 3.48 hoping for an A to push it into the safe area.

Finding it is immaterial, use reason to appeal to the professor and make her understand the seriousness of the situation - she's got a heart - make her understand the consequences that could come out of this and she'll help you out. Just be reasonable with her and she'll be reasonable with you. TOB man
