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! |
I agree with Ouisch!
Additionally, I suggest that this matter should be discussed with the principal
and the teacher at the same conference. Make the teacher justify her grading system in front of her supervisor while you are present. I would not speak with the principal privately; the principal's response, most assuredly, will be: "I will speak with the teacher and get back to you!" Besides, speaking with the principal privately will only serve to infuriate the teacher and cause her to be more inclined to "take it out" on your son.
Keep us posted as to the outcome!
Cheers,
