ha, my friends geography coursework

[mollykins]

because the other group have had longer than us, which isn't fair in the first place (life generally isn't) the headteacher is making the georgaphy teacher mark my friends coursework, he handed it in yesterday, and the other group have still got until friday.

told you it would get sorted if they spoke to the school about it.

[ummmm]

Your point is?

[mollykins]

People were saying that they should have made more of an efort to get in in, but he couldn't, and anyway the other group got three or four weeks longer to do it, so the ehadteacher is saying that he has to mark it, it might also be to do with him being an a grade student and never normally getting into trouble or hassle with the other teachers.

is your friend in the other group?
why did he hand his work in yesterday?
when should he have handed his work in?
why shouldn't he have his work marked if he has finished it?
why is the head teacher getting involved?
how do you know the head teacher has asked the geography teacher to mark your friend's coursework?
when did you have to hand your work in?
have you handed your work in?

i dont see how this required a new post.
the Head has sorted it now to your friends advantage.

carrot.

~no my group.
~he was ill with flu and tonsilitus when our teacher wanted it in.
~just before easter.
~he couldn't hand it in, his whole family was ill and they couldn't get it in.
~he is an a grade student and the official deadline (and the deadline for the other class who got set the work at the same time) isn't up, yet the teacher phoned up saying he was refusing to mark it.
~ durr, he's my friend and told me, as i was worried for him.
~ just before easter
yes, before easter, i was there to hand it in.

thank you- so all's well that ends well!

yeah carrot, i posted a thread saying how it wasn't fair, but his whole family was ill, so when the teacher phoned up saying he wasn't going to mark it, she couldn't argue back, but she phoned the school and talked to the head teacher and its sorted.

mollykins-----How many posts do you have to write before you understand , that there are many times in life when things are not fair.

It is commendable for you to take up issues for others but , I would imagine that most of the people about whom you write are able to defend their own corner.
