Mom Publicly Exposes Teacher After Son Gets Penalized For Not Purchasing Supplies For Entire Class
A U.S. parent, Shanitta Nicole, said her son received a zero on his report for “classroom supplies” because his teacher graded students based on whether parents provided supplies for the whole class, not just their child. Nicole reported the grade was later reconciled after she contacted the teacher, and the principal acknowledged the approach was “definitely wasn’t appropriate.”
Background
A parent publicly shares a case where a teacher penalized a student’s grade for not buying classroom supplies for the entire class; the grade was later adjusted and the principal acknowledged the approach was inappropriate.
