<p>Has anyone had success with their appeals? </p>
<p>I’m very put off by the NMC comment about the death in the family and that they’re sure that the school made accomodations. Oh really? I know that at my kids’ high school, one teacher refused to make any accomodations when we had a similar experience and son rec’d a D on a Midterm exam (which happened days after the death which involved a quick “back and forth” cross-country trip.). Thankfully, his semester grade ended up being a B, but that was only because his earlier grades in that class were perfect. </p>
<p>NMC should not be assuming that all teachers give accommodations for family situations. Certainly, when a students other grades (before/after a situation) are excellent, then clearly exceptions weren’t likely made. There are some hard-xxx teachers out there that would expect a student to sit for an exam while bleeding thru every orifice.</p>
