Infinite Campus is now displaying grade summaries in the “Grades” menu option. If you select “S1,” you can see both “Term GPA (weighted)” as well as “Cumulative GPA (weighted).” As of right now, the only accurate calculation is for “Term GPA (weighted).” Please disregard the “Cumulative GPA (weighted).”

Instead, you can assert your needs in a calm, polite manner. For example, you might say, “I understand that you're trying to help, but this isn't helpful for me. Can we try a different approach?” Seek Support: It's imperative to have a support system when dealing with a toxic teacher.

Does FAFSA give me more money if I live off campus? No, selecting Off Campus does not give you more money if you decide to live off campus. For some colleges, a student's financial aid eligibility is determined by a standard room amount.

Furthermore, it has been shown that students living on campus tend to earn better grades and have retention rates at their institutions which are higher than their off-campus peers.

Accessibility and convenience are big benefits of staying on-campus. There is no need to commute to campus, spend money on public transport or fuel for your car, or worry about parking. On-campus students can also get more sleep because they only need 10 minutes to walk to class in the morning.

Be brief but polite. I always start by thanking them for reaching out and try to validate their concerns. Assume the best intentions. Acknowledge the possibility of miscommunication, misperception, and mistakes when possible instead of blame.

A 3.0 GPA implies performing well in all classes, and that's a great place to start the college application process. Admissions officers from many schools will see that GPA and recognize that it meets their criteria for enrollment. Keep practicing the study habits that led to a 3.0 GPA in the first place.

The first step to handle difficult parents is to understand their perspective and empathize with their concerns. Parents may act out of frustration, fear, or ignorance, and they may have valid reasons to be upset or worried. Try to listen actively, acknowledge their feelings, and show respect for their point of view.

Convey to the parent(s) that both you and the parents want the same thing–how to best help the child. Listen to everything the parents are saying. Avoid overwhelming them with irrelevant materials or by using jargon. Try not to overwhelm them with the presence of other school personnel unless they are needed.

Protecting Yourself as a Teacher

If a parent becomes disrespectful or oversteps the line when talking to you about their children, don't be afraid to politely but firmly reiterate the boundaries. You could respond by saying something like, “I understand you're upset, but I can't allow you to speak to me that way.

Listen to the parents' concerns.
