Why Are Some Teachers Strict About Grade Improvement?

Ever wondered why some teachers, like me, offer endless chances to boost your grades, while others seem to guard every point like a dragon with its treasure? 🐉 As a calculus teacher in bustling Chicago, I open doors for students who miss class—be it for sports, family, or life’s curveballs. Yet, I hear tales from neighboring districts where teachers are rigid, refusing any wiggle room. Why this stark contrast?

Maybe I’m too soft, or maybe others are too tough! What do you think? Have you faced similar situations? Drop your thoughts, challenge my approach, or share your own stories below!
