Here are some examples: He had to write 10 sentences with Appositives behind a non-subject noun. 1. A lot of people drink soda, a fizzy drink. On the last sentence he misspelled Illinois (-5 points) Did not capitalize Illinois(-5) forgot the common (-10) and forgot the period (-10) All the other sentences were correct. He recieved a 70 on paper. I think if she counts the mistakes she has to give equal credit to the correct sentences??? That one sentence was worth 25 points out of 10 total sentences. It doesn't make sense. Also on his spelling words, he has to 20-25 words them 5 times each. Each handwriting mistake she takes off five points. For example he will write excellent, 5 X -5 no loop on the e,t -5 no loop on the l, -5 forgot to fully cross the T. The point is that this is subjective grading. She can be as lenient or as picky as she wants. She can take off more points than she gives credit. Is this worth complaining about? Its in other subjects too.

yes if you have a problem with something get the courage to stand up to that teacher and tell her off. your son doesn't deserve that, my teachers weren't that picky when I was in 5th grade.

The question that comes to my mind is - is she doing this to all the other children in your son's classroom? Do the other parents feel the same way you do? If you feel she's being too "picky", talk with her about her grading scale. Take some interest - get involved!

It will depend on whether or not sixth grade in in which you're placed is both core institution or nonetheless fundamental institution. My sixth grade revel in was once in fundamental institution, and I observed it as a substitute convenient, however the sixth graders in core institution have instructed me that all of it depended in your magnificence agenda.

The kid is a fifth grader. Why are you flipping out so dramatically? He will get over it. And there is a good chance he will learn to be careful and not make mistakes.
If you are this paranoid about things in 5th grade,w hat are you going to do when he gets to high school and his grades begin to be important for college applications? You need to chill and let the kid process his way through school without a majorly helicopter parent leaning over his shoulder every second.
You are not doing him any favors fighting his battles for him.
