What to do if the teacher. What to do if your child thinks his grades are being lowered. Your personal advice to parents of schoolchildren
What to do if you do not agree with the assessment? What should you do if the teacher, in your opinion, was biased and lowered your grade for no reason? Is it possible to fight prejudice? What can a grade be reduced for: bad behavior in class? for bad behavior outside of school? for trying to cheat? for absence from class? for not having a notebook? for submitting work late?
You do not agree with the rating given - what should you do?
Step 1. Familiarize yourself with the school’s local regulations on the grading system - and evaluate whether the teacher’s actions meet the requirements accepted at the school?
If the local regulations of the school specify the procedure for reviewing grades, use the procedure that is provided in your school.
If the teacher’s actions do not meet the school’s requirements for grading, or if local regulations do not provide for your case, but you are convinced that the teacher was wrong, proceed to step 2.
Step 2: Submit your complaint in writing to the school principal or dispute resolution committee. In your complaint, ask for the rating to be reconsidered.
Right to complain at school
If the grade is biased and underestimated, the student or his parents have the right to appeal the teacher’s actions in the following manner. To do this, you need to contact the school principal or the dispute resolution commission with a written statement. In the application (complaint), set out the circumstances of the assessment, the actions with which you do not agree, ask to evaluate the teacher’s actions for compliance with the curriculum and generally accepted teaching principles. For example, “assess the validity of the following actions...”. Ask to reconsider a rating you disagree with.
In connection with the complaint, an inspection must be carried out, the complaint must be considered collegiately in the manner prescribed by the school.
In case of inaction of the school administration, parents have the right to file a written complaint with the education management body or appeal the inaction of the school director to the state inspectorate for control of education (branch of Rosobrnadzor).
Freedom to teach
Note! That not every action of a teacher can be appealed and filing a complaint does not guarantee that the grade will be corrected.
1. In order to protect their rights, students, parents (legal representatives) of minor students, independently or through their representatives, have the right to:
1) send to the governing bodies of the organization carrying out educational activities applications regarding the application of disciplinary sanctions to employees of these organizations who violate and (or) infringe on the rights of students, parents (legal representatives) of minor students. Such appeals are subject to mandatory consideration by the specified bodies with the involvement of students, parents (legal representatives) of minor students;
2) contact the commission for resolving disputes between participants in educational relations, including on questions about the presence or absence of a conflict of interest of a teaching worker;
3) use other methods of protecting rights and legitimate interests not prohibited by the legislation of the Russian Federation.
2. The Commission for the Settlement of Disputes between Participants in Educational Relations is created in order to resolve disagreements between participants in educational relations on the implementation of the right to education, including in cases of a conflict of interests of a teaching worker, the application of local regulations, appealing decisions on the application of disciplinary sanctions to students .
3. A commission for the settlement of disputes between participants in educational relations is created in an organization carrying out educational activities, from an equal number of representatives of adult students, parents (legal representatives) of minor students, employees of the organization carrying out educational activities.
4. The decision of the commission for the settlement of disputes between participants in educational relations is mandatory for all participants in educational relations in an organization carrying out educational activities, and is subject to execution within the time limits specified by the specified decision.
5. The decision of the commission for the settlement of disputes between participants in educational relations can be appealed in accordance with the procedure established by the legislation of the Russian Federation.
6. The procedure for creating, organizing work, making decisions by a commission for resolving disputes between participants in educational relations and their implementation is established by a local regulatory act, which is adopted taking into account the opinions of student councils, parent councils, as well as representative bodies of employees of this organization and (or) students in her (if available).
Additional questions:
Can a teacher give bad marks for work that was assigned during illness?
Education legislation does not exempt a student from mastering the curriculum even during illness. However, if a student objectively could not complete the assignment for the lesson immediately after illness, then this may also serve as a basis for revising the grade.
See additional answer to the question
Can they give a bad mark for behavior?
Behavior grading is not required by law, but may be provided for at school level. If no local acts have been adopted at the school level that would establish the possibility of assigning grades for behavior, in this case issuing a bad grade for behavior will be illegal.
Regardless of whether there is an accepted procedure for assigning marks for behavior, an F for behavior cannot be given as a grade in the subject. Such actions of the teacher can be appealed.
Can a student be given a “F” for behavior for a student’s actions outside of school during non-school hours?
Assessment of student behavior is carried out on the basis of internal regulations, which are determined by local acts of the educational institution. As a rule, these documents limit the scope of their distribution only to the educational institution itself and the territory assigned to it. Interference in a student’s extracurricular life is not provided for by law. Control over a student’s behavior outside an educational institution rests with parents and law enforcement agencies represented by the Commission on Minors’ Affairs. However, in some cases, a student’s behavior outside of school may be the basis for registration within the school, “working through” prevention at the council and carrying out “individual educational work,” since the tasks of the school and the teacher include not only teaching, but also the upbringing of students.

Any parent understands that knowledge is more important than a formal number in a diary, but for a child, especially in elementary school, a grade plays a big role in creating motivation to study and forming internal self-esteem. For high school students, the grade affects the average score on the certificate, in addition, the opportunity to receive a gold or silver medal also depends on the ratio of “A’s” to “B’s” in graduating classes.
How likely is underestimation?
A subjective approach to assessing knowledge can be observed on the part of the student and parents. According to the law, parents, students and teachers are subjects of the educational process, therefore the transparency of the assessment system must exist for everyone.
Every parent needs to know that it is simply not profitable for a teacher to artificially lower grades, since at the end of each quarter he reports on the quality of academic performance. And based on the results of his report, a conclusion is drawn about the quality of his teaching.
Perhaps parents who do not have it themselves subjectively evaluate their child’s knowledge. In elementary school, parents are simply obliged to get to know the teacher and clarify the situation. The teacher is obliged to explain his requirements and give recommendations for their implementation. As an option, you can find the opportunity to attend lessons, of course, not for the purpose of monitoring the teacher’s activities, but under the pretext of familiarizing yourself with the survey methodology and conducting a comparative analysis of your child’s knowledge with other children.
A middle-level student or high school student can approach the teacher and ask himself why, in his opinion, the grade is underestimated. As a rule, it is not difficult for a teacher to explain the criteria for completing written work and assess its degree of compliance with them. It is more difficult with an oral response. However, parents should be aware that according to modern educational standards, simply retelling a textbook is not practiced. Schools are moving towards project-based activities, and the project is usually carried out as a team, with parental participation encouraged.
What to do if the teacher's bias is obvious
There is an algorithm for resolving controversial issues related to assessing the level of knowledge, described in Art. 45 of the Federal Law “On Education in the Russian Federation”. In accordance with the article of legislation, the application is submitted to the director or to the dispute resolution commission. But this is an extreme measure, the result of which may be the creation of a commission to test factual knowledge.
The optimal solution to prove your knowledge is to participate in the All-Russian
In the post-Soviet space, unfortunately, there is no school ethics. Every now and then, videos of teachers ill-treating children or, on the contrary, disrespectful attitude, and sometimes obscene language from students towards adults, are leaked onto the network. Often, the stumbling block of these conflicts are factors such as non-compliance with the school uniform, inappropriate appearance, the financial situation of the student, the mentoring tone of the teacher and the lack of any mutual contact. We decided to ask common questions from readers to clinical and family psychologist, Candidate of Psychological Sciences, PhD, Professor of the Department of Psychology and Correctional Pedagogy Irina Matskevich regarding the conflict situations that modern schoolchildren face every day.
Irina Konstantinovna Matskevich
My child is humiliated at school for any mistake. Last year, he returned home from his penultimate class because the head teacher noticed he was missing a tie. Is it okay to do this? We don't live near the school. Once again the child experiences stress. Why do adults allow themselves to do this? It's just a tie...
It is very bad when a child is humiliated. Of course, the child needs protection. The parent must support the child and demand an apology from the teacher. Let's consider the position of the head teacher. It may require order and organization. And these are her ways of organizing order: kicking the child out of class, blaming the child or his parents for not being organized, humiliating the child in front of everyone... Perhaps everything was wrong. The head teacher invited the child for an individual conversation, talked with the child, and together they decided that today he would go home and tomorrow he would not forget his tie.
But if there was humiliation, then it is necessary to restore justice: come, talk face to face, ask to apologize to the child.
My daughter is a very creative person. I don’t want to suppress these qualities in her, so I try to help her in everything as much as possible. Her next idea was to dye the ends of her hair pink. We did temporary coloring, but she goes to school with her hair tied up. The school is taught in Kazakh, the children there are very modest and obedient. Her class teacher reprimanded her a hundred times for her hair. I had to paint it again on the third day. The daughter was very upset. I remained silent, but I feel guilty that I could not protect the interests of my daughter. Tell me, is the teacher right?
Of course, I have a few questions for mom:
1) Is hair coloring a manifestation of creativity? More likely, no... Rather, a manifestation of the desire for external self-expression. But it can be realized through something else.
2) Is your daughter obedient? And do you want her to be obedient? And how do you feel about the fact that in her society (school) it is customary to be obedient? It is important. Obedience is good, but if it happens because the child is afraid of something, then this is bad obedience, and not obedience at all, but fear. Do we want the child to be like everyone else, comfortable for teachers, comfortable for us? And “yes” because it’s convenient. And “no”, because he will be big and also obedient.
3) Do you really support your daughter’s experiments? Or don't want to suppress? These are different things. If you support coloring, then support the right to wear this coloring. If you support this right, then it is a riot at school. After all, it is customary to be obedient there...
Therefore, or another school, with other requirements…. Or a conversation with my daughter about how we must follow the rules of a social group…. Or protest, conflict with school, defending your rights.
The teacher is wrong if he made “a hundred comments” and did not talk; if it was done in front of everyone, and not in private; if the form of the remark was not delicate, but rude.
Our school is considered one of the most prestigious in the city. Accordingly, the children of not the least people in this country study there. Unfortunately, many children are overly spoiled. Especially boys. My daughter complains about them all the time. She says they bully older teachers. They may ignore the teacher during class, watch movies on their phones and laugh loudly. The teacher is silent because he is afraid for his place. I tried to talk to the class teacher, but she said that there are such children in every class. And that child psychologists work with them. The daughter says that the boys are becoming bolder every year, but there is still no one to protect the teachers. What should I do in this situation, what do you think?
It is very important to support your child. Discuss, express your opinion, agreement. So that the daughter understands that she feels and thinks the same. Another thing is boys and teachers who are humiliated.
Teacher. The teacher is humiliated, but he is afraid and endures. This is bad. This is a bad teacher. Children are very sensitive to lies. And they are “punished” for it.
Boys. Perhaps you should express your opinion at a parent-teacher meeting about what you consider unacceptable. Not blaming, but paying attention. Encourage parents to talk to their children.
In my nephew's class there is a child with a physical disability - he is missing half of his leg. He walks with a limp and his speech is slightly impaired. I pick up from school every day and see this boy. From the outside it is clear that no one offends him, but somehow they avoid him or something. No matter how I see it, there are only girls from the younger class walking nearby. Tell me, is it right to send such a child to a regular school if he feels that he is different?
School is a model of social life. If you were working with a person who limps and who has a speech impediment... Would you like him to quit his job because you feel sorry for him? Or he would like to go to work because others feel sorry for him. Here the choice is between complete loneliness, lack of communication, further stigmatization and isolation of the child, and comfort (possible) in a closed system.
It is right and very correct that a child learns with other children.
Its insulation is not correct. Teachers, psychologists, social pedagogues must help the child “enter” the class, and children “accept” the child. This could be a story about what a boy likes to do…. a story about how he can coolly stand in goal at football, or help keep score, follow the rules... secret information about the books that the child has read...
The child’s family can also help with this. Invite children to visit the park. Go with them and “show” your child.
In general, you should be proud of the fact that you are different! Remember the fairy tale "The Ugly Duckling"! Remember Stephen Hawking! It is the “others” who are very good, but when they can be with others, when they are not isolated.
If a teacher lowers a child’s grades due to personal hostility, how should one react to this? Should a parent do a debriefing? After all, you can't prove anything anyway...
Of course, this is unacceptable.
But there is a problem. Probably, personal hostility interferes with the teacher. It is important that the child understands that there are things that affect the result. This also applies to grades. We shape people's perceptions of ourselves. And it is important for a child to learn how to win people over and not cause hostility.
Therefore, debriefing can take place at home: work on the image of a person who wins over other people.
In recent years, the school has banned giving gifts to teachers, but this is a nice gesture towards those who invested knowledge in you. Do you think it is possible to give gifts despite the government ban?
I would not focus on the state ban. This is probably a distortion (the introduction of a ban), but this is dictated by the fact that children see “gift relationships” and carry them into adulthood. “Zero tolerance” implies such enhanced prohibitions.
Now about gratitude. It can be expressed in many ways. This is a memory of the teacher, congratulations by phone, postcard, online…. The gift can be in the form of creative work: a collage of photographs of students, panels...
But giving microwaves, boots, hair dryers (!real examples) is humiliating for the Teacher (with a capital T).
My daughter's class teacher made her a friend. He constantly talks about his problems in the family, during lessons he can ask her to go to the store for tights. She often helps her out for these services, but is it possible for children to have such informal relationships with teachers? What should I do as a parent?
Is it possible to have such informal relationships? This is, of course, not advisable. But sometimes an adult teacher may feel that this is important and necessary for the child.
Like everyone else, we have our own cool chat. There are different parents there, but there are a lot of inappropriate people who send some strange pictures at one in the morning. I have tried more than once to ask everyone to adhere to some unspoken rules, but in the end I always end up being extreme. Many people consider me a brawler. I can’t leave the chat because they drop useful information about the school there, but what to do with spammers...
“Understand and forgive” spammers.
My daughter is a bright girl. I do not forbid her to communicate with peers. Last year, at a meeting, the mother of my daughter’s classmate approached me. Literally asked my daughter to stay away from her son. She said that he was going to Altyn Belgi, and my daughter allegedly wags her tail in front of him and distracts him from his studies. Of course, I talked to my daughter after that, but she denies everything and assures that he himself does not lag behind her. Tell me, what should I respond to attacks from such parents?
Clarify the request of a classmate’s mother!
A very non-specific request from the boy’s mother! More precisely. Not even a request, but an instruction. “Don’t wag your tail in front of him and don’t distract him from his studies!”
If the situation of communication with the mother allows, then you can clarify which tail the girl was twirling (fox, tiger, mouse), tell the mother that you did not see the daughter’s tail... Sometimes humor helps.
However, if the mother is not inclined to understand humor, then the issue should be resolved seriously.
Please clarify what exactly does your mother want from you? What exactly does she propose to do? The absurdity of the proposals, if any, will become obvious.
If a child is focused on studying, has a goal, and goes towards it, then no “tails” can interfere with this. “Distracting!”... rather, the mother’s son is distracted! But if you want to get “Altyn Belgi”, then it’s impossible to be distracted. Is this his goal? Or mom's goal?
Your personal advice to parents of schoolchildren.
I really want to wish parents and children good schools, where teachers are confident in themselves, want to teach children, respect and love children and their parents, peaceful parent-teacher meetings, informative chats, understanding, solving situations, sensitivity.
Conflicts are not bad! Bad – unresolved conflicts!
Protect your children in any situation. Make a joke about any situation, take responsibility for your condition and that of your child, respect the rights of other children and parents. Good school!

1. At school, the teacher lowers grades, confiscates students’ personal belongings, uses force, and uses offensive language. What can be done?
1.1. It is sad. In accordance with paragraph 2 of Article 336 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, an additional basis for the dismissal of a teaching employee is the use, including one-time use, of educational methods, associated with physical and (or) mental violence against the personality of the student, pupil. Write motivated complaints (preferably collective ones - they receive more attention) to the district education department and the district prosecutor's office, let them conduct inspections and take appropriate response measures against the teacher, up to and including his dismissal on the above grounds. So it goes.
2. Can a physical education teacher lower grades for lack of uniform?
2.1. Hello! No, he can not. This is illegal.
2.2. You have the right not to be allowed to attend classes and when taking tests you risk getting a failure. Be glad that you were allowed to attend classes at all and were given a grade.
3. The teacher lowers grades, how to test him, the child does not want to go to his lesson.
3.1. To resolve any doubts, please contact the director.
3.2. Here you need to write a complaint to the school director, only he can initiate an inspection.
4. My daughter has been an excellent student since the first grade, now she is already in the 10th grade, in the first half of the year she got 5 in all subjects, in the second half of the year the physics teacher and she, the head teacher, announced to ped. advice that my daughter would no longer be an excellent student, and from that moment on she began to lower her grades. How to deal with this problem?
4.1. In our country, is it now some teacher who decides who will be an excellent student or an excellent student and who will not? And how did she justify this, I wonder?
You should somehow secretly record a conversation with her, let her spill the beans about the motives for her words, after which you can safely write complaints to the school director, the department of education, and the prosecutor’s office. So they will then decide whether this teacher will be a teacher at this school in general or not.
Moreover, this may be a hidden hint of corruption: after all, how is it that a girl of 10 years flew through school without paying a penny on just “5”? They don't really like people like that these days.
4.2. You probably need to record your excellent answers using a voice recorder, proving first of all to yourself that you know perfectly well, but at the same time collecting information that, in your opinion, is discriminatory towards you.

Or don’t be led by gossip and threats, and continue to study for yourself, not for others, and not for grades; grades do not define a person.
An excessive desire to achieve one thing makes a person blind and deaf to everything else.
5. The situation is such that, according to the (oral) agreement, the teacher and our class do not study in class, in return she does certain things with grades. But, since she underestimates my assessment, I would like to know what I can count on if it comes to complaints to the administration and above.

And what letters should he write if the child is 12 years old? Subject: mathematics (algebra, geometry).
8.1. Hello! File a complaint with the school principal and then with the Ministry of Education.
8.2. How to understand children's letters and how do they differ from Russian ones?

9.1. Hello.
Yes, in the Federal Law "On Education of the Russian Federation"
9.2. Is there an article stating that a teacher does not have the right to lower grades?

13. The math teacher gave me a two for the semester, although according to my grades I got a three. and she told me that she would give me three. and so the question is, does a teacher have the right to underestimate grades based on his personal opinions? Is it possible to demand that she correct it in the same six months? So to speak, replaced it. And how can this issue be resolved correctly? So that the rating is changed immediately. Or where to turn? For help.
13.1. Dear Natalya, the teacher has no right to lower the grade based on his personal opinions. You need to contact the head teacher and the director of the educational institution.

And this wonderful teacher lowers grades, constantly threatens with supervision, finds fault, and gives 2 for the newest mistake. But in front of the director he sings that everything is fine. Do I have the right to transfer my child to another class without the consent of the director? And is it legal when they say there are no places?
16.1. And who will allow you to transfer your child to another class without the consent of the director? If only to another school. At the same time, the content of the class must comply with SanPin. The normative component of this issue.
Federal Law of December 29, 2012 No. 273-FZ “On Education in the Russian Federation.”
Resolution of the Chief State Sanitary Doctor of the Russian Federation dated December 29, 2010 No. 189 “On approval of SanPiN 2.4.2.2821–10 “Sanitary and epidemiological requirements for the conditions and organization of training in educational institutions.”
Order No. 1015 dated September 30, 2013 “On approval of the procedure for organizing and implementing educational activities in basic general education programs - educational programs of primary general, basic general and secondary general education.”
Resolution of the Chief State Sanitary Doctor of the Russian Federation dated July 10, 2015 No. 26 On approval of SanPiN 2.4.2.3286–15 “Sanitary and epidemiological requirements for the conditions and organization of training and education in organizations carrying out educational activities according to adapted basic general education programs for students with disabilities "
The occupancy of classes, with the exception of compensatory education classes, should not exceed 25 people (Order No. 1015 of September 30, 2013 “On approval of the procedure for organizing and implementing educational activities in basic general education programs - educational programs of primary general, basic general and secondary general education” ).
In accordance with sanitary standards, the number of students in a class is determined based on the calculation of compliance with the standard area per student, compliance with the requirements for the arrangement of furniture in classrooms, including the distance of study areas from the light-carrying wall, requirements for natural and artificial lighting. If the necessary conditions and means for training are available, it is possible to divide classes according to academic subjects into groups (SanPiN 2.4.2.2821–10).
The area of classrooms is taken without taking into account the area required for arranging additional furniture (cabinets, cabinets, etc.) for storing teaching aids and equipment used in the educational process, based on:
- at least 2.5 m² per 1 student for frontal forms of classes;
- at least 3.5 m² per student when organizing group forms of work and individual lessons (SanPiN 2.4.2.2821–10).
Thus, if the area of the classroom allows seating more than 25 students, then the maximum occupancy can be increased due to the capabilities of the classrooms.
If you do not like the director’s actions regarding your problem, you can appeal his actions to the Barnaul Education Department.
17. In general, the situation is this: I switched in the 10th grade, another history teacher came to us, but for some reason she didn’t like me. He gives 2's in every lesson, lowers grades, says that I'm a "DEBIL" And at the beginning of the school year, I managed to get several 4's, but the teacher said you didn't deserve them and won't give them. (there is a voice recorder recording)
17.1. You can contact the director to present the audio recording. Most likely, you will be offered to undergo an intermediate certification in this subject in order to determine the real level of your knowledge.
18. What to do if the teacher humiliates, puts pressure on the child, lowers grades, calls him a poor student, says don’t forget to complain to your mother, and all that kind of stuff?
18.1. Contact the school management, then the education department at the district administration to conduct an inspection.
19. What to do. My daughter's grades are being lowered by her English teacher. That week she answered 2 times in class, the teacher didn’t give her a grade, there weren’t enough answers for a grade, she said. And today my daughter answered correctly and gave it a C. Is it normal?
19.1. Not normal. Go to the head teacher. If it doesn't help, contact the director.
20. Please, where is the best way to write a complaint against a teacher? The teacher lowers grades and bullies children. She says that she will leave it in the classroom and close it, and she will go home.
20.1. Write to the director and the education department. Write in any form indicating all the behavior of the teacher.
20.2. Write to the director first, but keep in mind that there is liability for libel, so if there is, for example, an audio recording or video, then writing such complaints is very risky. I'll have to answer if anything...
21. Are there any legislative documents, perhaps teacher ethics or anti-corruption in education, on the following issue. The teacher is the class teacher in the class where her child is studying, which affects other children. Also, her husband is also a classroom teacher. Children of unwanted children have their grades lowered, these children are not taken to events, in general, these teachers humiliate these children in every possible way, but very cunningly.
21.1. We go to the director’s reception office and ask for the opportunity to familiarize ourselves with the school’s charter (as parents of a student, you have the right).
We mark the numbers of points with beautiful phrases: the principle of respect for the individual, etc. We will refer to them in the complaint against the actions of the class teacher, which resulted in a violation of the student’s rights to receive an education, etc. Write either to the school director or higher - committees, departments, the department of education of your municipality, or the school is municipal. Indicate everything there: that the teacher is the parent of one of the students, that conflicts between children affect the teacher’s attitude towards the child, the assessment of his knowledge, and the ability to participate in the social life of the class.
The legislation does not regulate the issue of parents teaching in the class where their children are studying. Sometimes there are local acts, but rarely. Everything is at the discretion of the school administration.
22. Child (5th grade).
He completed his independent work, the teacher gave him a 4. And he gave him a 3 in the journal, saying that she lowered the grade for his homework (he gave a 3 for his homework). Does the teacher have the right to lower his grade like that? What does homework have to do with it?
22.1. Hello! Your school should develop a Regulation on assessing student achievement in subjects, which also takes into account controversial issues. Educational organizations are free to determine the content of education, choose educational and methodological support, and educational technologies for the educational programs they implement.
22.2. Hello, Evgenia Vladimirovna!
If separate grades are provided for independent and homework, then the teacher’s actions are unlawful and the grade should be challenged.
First, you should ask the director for a local act on grading in his school. And challenge in accordance with this act.
If your case is not included in the local act or the local act itself is missing, then you should challenge the assessment by submitting an application to the school principal or the dispute resolution commission (check with the education department about the commission).
23. Child (5th grade).
I completed independent work, the teacher gave it a 4. And the teacher gave it a 3 in the journal, saying that she lowered the grade for homework (she gave it a 3 for homework). Does the teacher have the right to lower the grade like that?
23.1. Good morning! In this case, the teacher unlawfully reduced your child’s grade. You should contact the head teacher to resolve the problem.
24. A student recorded the teacher yelling at them (voice) during a lesson and posted it on the Internet. The student is being persecuted, in a ostentatious manner so that others will not like it, and grades are lowered. It is stated that there is criminal liability for what the boy did. But since the child is under 14 years old, the parents will be fined. Are the actions of teachers legal?
24.1. Such attitude of teachers is punishable by law. Article 34 of the Federal Law on Education in the Russian Federation states that every student has the right to respect for his dignity, as well as protection from personal insult and other forms of psychological violence. There is also Article 48, which states that the teacher is obliged to observe moral standards and respect the personality of students. You need to send a letter to the Ministry of Education or the prosecutor's office.
In this case, it is necessary to be guided by Art. 151.1 Civil Code of the Russian Federation. Article 152.1. Protection of a citizen's image Publication and further use of a citizen's image (including his photograph, as well as video recordings or works of fine art in which he is depicted) are permitted only with the consent of this citizen. After the death of a citizen, his image can only be used with the consent of the children and surviving spouse, and in their absence, with the consent of the parents.
Such consent is not required in cases where: 1) the use of the image is carried out in state, public or other public interests; 2) the image of a citizen was obtained during filming, which is carried out in places open to the public or at public events (meetings, conventions, conferences, concerts, performances, sporting competitions and similar events), except for cases where such an image is the main object use; 3) the citizen posed for a fee.
In this situation, you have a public event and the image is not the main object of use. You cannot have any responsibility. And the teacher will be fully punished.
25. A primary school teacher shouts, lowers grades, humiliates the child, she developed a nervous tic because of this! During the session, the teacher is replaced, the child changes before his eyes, becomes calm and his studies become much better, what to do in such a situation?
25.1. Good afternoon to you.
Dear Gulnaz, in this case you can write a complaint to the school director, as well as to the city education department.
My child has already been given a grade of 4 in physical education, 2nd grade, in the 2nd Thursday, there are students in the class who are motionless in the game, but they are over a quarter of 5, and the physical education teacher’s daughter goes to my wife’s piano lesson and she studies poorly, my wife gives she gets the grades she deserves, and because of this, the teacher underestimates our child’s grade, what to do in this situation. My mailbox [email protected] Read answers (1)
26. The teacher massively underestimates grades on the 9th grade exam, 42 deuces, a complaint was written, an inspection was carried out, but nothing changed, where to turn.
26.1. Good day!
Where exactly was the complaint filed? To the director? Now submit again, only this time to the subject’s education department
All the best, I wish you good luck.
26.2. Hello Svetlana!
Teachers of secondary schools work on the basis of employment agreements (contracts). They have immediate supervisors (school directors).
General management of the activities of all persons providing educational services on the territory of the Republic of Belarus, including secondary schools, is carried out by the Ministry of Education of the Republic of Belarus. This ministry has departments and departments subordinate to it at the level of regions, cities, and districts in cities.
In order for a complaint against the actions of a secondary school teacher to be considered properly, it should be submitted to his subordination higher and higher, attaching materials from previous inspections and justifying your opinion about the unsatisfactory results of their results - i.e. first to the school director, then to the district department, city department, regional education department (each executive committee and district administration has such a department).
It should be taken into account that the assessment of the results of students’ educational activities according to a ten-point system is carried out in Belarus on the basis of standards approved by the Ministry of Education of the Republic of Belarus. And the essence of your complaint will probably boil down to the requirement to check whether a particular teacher complies with the specified standards, and the requirement to take measures to ensure their compliance and prevent their violation in the future.
27. The geography teacher lowers grades. We wrote independent work on topics on which I was absent due to illness, and this was all confirmed by a certificate. I prepared at home on these topics and wrote everything correctly in the independent paper. The teacher gave me a 3 and explained this by saying that only the answers were graded on topics that I was personally present at. Is this right on her part?
27.1. Hello!
In this case, the teacher most likely did not assess the knowledge quite objectively and there is reason to complain about a biased attitude to the director.
27.2. Hello!
This is the arbitrariness of teachers! Contact the education department in your region. You can submit your application electronically through the official website.
27.3. Hello!
The student has the right to change this grade and mark if he proves (using the self-assessment algorithm) that it is overestimated or underestimated.
Good luck and good luck!
28. Does the teacher have the right to lower the grade in computer science for 8th grade if it was done absolutely correctly, but the double sheet from the notebook is not quite straight (as directed by the teacher), i.e. Is there a small tear in the paper where it is stapled?
28.1. Good day, dear
Of course they had no right, in this case it is necessary to write a complaint to the director
28.2. Hello. It is unlawful to lower the grade just because the sheet was attached incorrectly. Knowledge must be assessed. Best wishes.
29. How and where to complain when a teacher deliberately does not accept tests, lowers grades, or does not treat a student at all, simply because she does not like the student. What should I do? I’m studying in college, I’m about to write my thesis, but she doesn’t certify me, she gives me lower grades, although I do my assignments like everyone else, but everyone likes her, and I’m like an outcast.
29.1. Hello, dear Katya.
You need to contact the Department of Education with a complaint.
Good luck to you in resolving your issue.
29.2. Hello! Submit your complaint in writing to the school principal or the Dispute Resolution Committee. Your complaint will be investigated and appropriate action will be taken.
29.3. Hello! Try to solve the problem in an educational institution. File a complaint with the director of the educational institution.
30. Does the teacher have the right to lower the grade for independent work if it is written on a piece of paper?
30.1. Good afternoon, dear Zakhar
There are general requirements for work, it doesn’t matter on a piece of paper or in a notebook, the main thing is correctness
Good luck to you and your loved ones!
What should you do if the teacher intentionally lowers your son's grades? My son has no mistakes or corrections for his work, but the teacher gave him a 3. There was a conversation with the teacher on this topic, where the teacher said that the son writes in children's letters, and not in Russian. And what letters should he write if the child is 12 years old? Subject: mathematics (algebra, geometry). Read answers (2)
31. Does a teacher have the right to lower a grade for time? That is, I was called to the board, I solved everything correctly, cleanly and neatly, but I was not alone at the board, but those who solved with me, but later could not solve it and sat down at the desk received, naturally, 2. In general, since I decided, it’s logical that I was at the board longer than they were, but she gave me a 4 because I delayed her in time, unlike others, is this normal?
31.1. In general, since I decided, it is logical that I was at the board longer than they were, but she gave me a 4 because I delayed her in time, unlike others, is this normal? - This is a personal subjective assessment of the teacher.
31.2. Hello, Alexey. If you solved the problem within a reasonable time (time to write the text on the board + time to think “a little bit”), then the reduction in grade is unreasonable. True, how to determine that criterion, how much time it was necessary to think. Probably, the teacher has some kind of time scale for how long, in his opinion, a problem of a certain level of complexity should be solved by an average student in terms of academic performance. If the problem was solved correctly, but it took an unreasonably long time to solve, then reducing the score is reasonable. The procedure for resolving disputes related to students' studies at school must be regulated by the school charter. If you intend to challenge the teacher’s actions, please read the appeal procedure contained in the school charter. I hope my answer was useful to you.
32. The teacher lowers grades for a child in grade 3 because of his behavior. Answers 5, gives 4. Openly talks about this to both the student and parents. In workbooks he gives 4 for homework completed without errors. This happens throughout 2nd and 3rd grade. Who can I contact to check the objectivity of the grades given? I think school management will always support their teachers. How to prove underestimation of grades if the teacher refuses his words.
32.1. Dear Elena! Grades are given only for knowledge. The teacher has no right to put grades for behavior in the journal, as well as to lower grades for knowledge in connection with behavior! The procedure and possibility of punishing a child at school is prescribed in the Federal Law “On Education in the Russian Federation” N 273-FZ of December 29, 2012, as amended in 2017-2016.
In this case, it would be advisable for the child’s parents (guardians) to file a complaint with the school management. In the absence of a proper response to the Department of Education of the city of Rostov-on-Don, the prosecutor's office!
I hope I answered your question!
If you need help preparing applications or complaints, call us, we will help!
33. Center for Education 14. Nodal Tula Region.

33.1. Center Education 14. Junction Tula Region. Teacher of Russian and literature Nadezhda Aleksandrovna Grigoreva lowers grades and at the end of the 2nd quarter she gave me 2 deuces in Russian and literature, all 4 and 3 were replaced with deuces, help me what to do. In 2015, she promised to stay for a second year due to a personal conflict.
You turned to the wrong place, either to the director or to the education department.
34. What to do if the teacher’s attitude towards the child is biased? He lowers his grades and hints at his tutoring! Something like this: a test in the Russian language. My daughter and her classmate on the same desk make the same mistakes. A classmate gets a 4 (because he takes lessons from her), and her daughter gets a 2. After which the teacher remarks that it would be nice for her to hire her as a tutor! 8th grade.
34.1. You need to write a statement addressed to the school director and state all these circumstances; if there is no result, write a complaint to the city education department.
34.2. First, politely and tactfully talk to the teacher, if there is no result, contact the director. If there is no response to this situation, contact the education department. Such situations really should not be ignored, as they can affect the further educational process of your child.
35. A teacher lowers a child’s grades because of personal hostility. Where is the best place to address this problem?
35.1. Good afternoon, dear Ekaterina
It’s better to talk personally with the teacher, then with the director, then with the district: sn-bz::sn-bz::sn-bz::sn-bz:
Good luck to you and your loved ones!!
35.2. The teacher lowers the child's grades due to personal hostility. Where is the best place to address this problem?
Contact the school principal.
35.3. Good afternoon, Ekaterina! Contact the school principal. If this question has already been raised with the director, then contact the education committee of your city.
36. My physics teacher is too picky about everything!
And she often lowers grades, for example, I got an A in Laboratory work, she calls me to the board and starts meticulously asking what I wrote.
36.1. Tatyana Nikolaevna, try to resolve this issue with the school director, you can involve parents in this, since the issue is sensitive.
37. Does the teacher lower grades?
37.1. No, as well as inflating them.
38. Does a teacher have the right to lower marks for handwriting?
38.1. Hello. No, he has no right.
If you find it difficult to formulate a question, call the toll-free multi-line phone 8 800 505-91-11 , a lawyer will help you
We often feel that the grade the teacher gives us is unfair. This is very disappointing, especially if you really tried. Before you conclude that you are being picked on, you need to understand the situation. There may be several of them:
- You didn't learn the topic very well, but you certainly didn't deserve the bad grade the teacher gave you.
- You try your best, sit for hours at the textbooks and answer everything correctly at the blackboard, but the teacher finds something to complain about and lowers your grade?
- Your grade was reduced for bad behavior.
- The teacher thought that you had copied the work and gave you a low score.
Each of these situations has its own solution.
Between two and three
Between three and four
Just a few trivial mistakes, and the teacher is already drawing you a C in the magazine? Ask your classmates for their opinions. If you get a C for written work, look at the tests of other students and check why their grades were lowered. If you see that they are picking on you, ask the teacher to explain why he gave a C.
Perhaps he is right about something and you just need to improve your knowledge or be more attentive.
Try to adequately assess the situation, do not justify your laziness. But if the situation does not change and the teacher still does not want to give you a well-deserved B, then it makes sense to tell everything to your mother and talk to the teacher together. In addition, there are school acts (documents) that clearly outline the grading system. You can always evaluate whether the teacher is doing the right thing by giving you a low grade.

Between four and five
Despite all your efforts and correct answers, the teacher always finds something to complain about or asks additional questions not from the textbook. As a result, instead of the well-deserved A's, you get 4 points. Just as in the previous case, you first need to talk calmly. Ask directly why the teacher does not want to give you the highest grade? What are you doing wrong and how to fix it? Perhaps you really missed something...
If the teacher is clearly biased towards you, then you can take measures:
- Involve your mom in this, a conversation between adults on such topics will be much more useful.
- Check the school reports on the grading system and compare your grades with this report.
- If you are sure that you know the subject with an A, then your parents have the legal right to contact the school principal with a complaint against the teacher. In this case, your test will be checked by a special commission or you will be examined by other teachers.
Why do teachers find fault?
Teachers are living people, they can make mistakes, including in their work. They may dislike someone or take revenge. You may ask, why? There are many reasons for hostility towards a student. Perhaps your behavior is annoying - you chat in class, are late, or have a habit of arguing with the teacher.
Even the fact that you are dressed too fashionably or are popular with boys can cause hostility from your teacher.
Likewise, your wrinkled clothes and sloppy appearance can cause irritation and a bad opinion of you. This does not mean that this is the reason why your grades are lowered, but it is quite possible that the teacher cannot cope with his attitude towards you and is not fair to you. Either way, he's wrong. He should evaluate your knowledge, not your appearance and behavior.
