Ladies, I need your advice. My daughter's Russian teacher gave her a "D" for classwork. I looked at the assignment, which was to write answers to questions in her notebook. My daughter wrote down both the questions and the answers. But the teacher flipped it all around and gave her a "D". The worst part is that she put it in the grade book, which naturally caused her grade to drop sharply. Would you be upset about this situation, or would you just let it go?

So, I didn't need to write the questions?
I would have let it slide; grades aren't the most important thing. If the child has the knowledge, then who cares. I'd tell my daughter she's a rockstar for doing double the work and explain where the mistake was.
In high school, this wouldn't be a mistake anymore; right now, they're just training kids to read the assignment carefully. It's a teaching moment.

Svetlana Kovshova I didn't scold her for a "D" grade, I don't care about that. It's just that the teacher put that "D" in the gradebook, even though she actually answered the questions correctly.

No, I wouldn't be upset. The task wasn't done correctly, so the rating fits.

I would say yes, it doesn't say anywhere not to copy the question. The child copied it for themselves and wrote the answer too, I don't consider it a mistake.

The task wasn't done correctly, so that's the grade. I would have just asked how to fix it.
