Default Re: Grading System

With percentages like that, I'd hate to see how this person teaches math! This is definitely an issue you should take up with the school principal. I would even suggest writing the facts in a letter, and carbon copy it to the superindendant of schools. (A written letter via snail mail will get more attention than an email or phone call.) Don't be accusatory or hostile in your letter; phrase it much as you did here - you simply don't understand how 91 correct answers out of 98 could be a failing grade, and that you haven't gotten any satisfactory answers from the teacher. (To be honest, this teacher sounds like she has some sort of personal grudge or vendetta against males.)

Good luck!
