That's great! ..if the professor takes the time to help the students succeed to improve their knowledge. It's what I use for anyone doesn't get a job after an interview. The majority response is a canned email.

It is VERY RARE that a teacher can give an arbitrary grade -- there is usually a grading scale, a syllabus, percentage weights for assignments and tests, etc. etc. Even selecting one or the other grade in a border-line situation requires lots of documentation and solid standards. This information is available to students and parents.

In college courses, submit an appeal to the admissions off and retake course with a new professor that helps students with office hours.


Elementary, Jr. High School and High School: Have your parent(s) ask the teacher to open their grade book and see why. You can do it yourself with your parents there as a witness.


College entrance exams: Retake them and/or get a qualified Tutor.
