    I'm of a similar mind to your husband. I was running a few hypothetical scenarios by my husband using your case facts, and we both thought that grading should be linked directly to performance.

    The teacher has legitimate disciplinary channels to pursue without adulterating grading. I think she is sending a poor message to her students when they can't reasonably foresee the consequences that their actions will incur.

    He knew he did something the teacher didn't like but the grade didn't really phase him.I think the lesson was over his head. He is kind of oblivious. I didn't even tell him I was going to talk to her. I have told him his vision issues don't excuse him from poor behavior but we're not there yet. He has his first OT eval on Monday to look at part II of his issues (motor skills and sensory)
