Should one ever worry about "annoying" teachers when asking them about grades?

Well our county uses Pinnacle Internet Viewer, so we can view all of our grades the second the teacher enters them. This helps with missed assignments and such, but sometimes we actually have to beg some teachers to enter in all of their grades before the marking period ends or on a regular basis.

Email is usually great if you don’t feel comfortable approaching the teacher, but often if you ask politely in person, the teacher can show you the info that you need right then and there, assuming that they have recorded all of it. Just don’t interrupt class or anything. I don’t think you should have a problem asking for a printout if the teacher enters it into a system. If they use a physical gradebook, it may be more of a pain. But this is your education and if you are concerned about your grades you should definitely not hold back.
