Teachers are generally expected to assess students based on their understanding and mastery of the subject matter, not on their financial situation. However, there can be instances where a lack of resources impacts a student's ability to complete assignments, which may affect their grades.
Most educators strive to support all students and may offer accommodations, alternative assignments, or extra help for those facing financial difficulties. It is important for students or their guardians to communicate openly with teachers about any challenges they are facing. Many schools also have resources in place, such as fundraising for supplies or programs to assist students in need.
If a student feels they are being unfairly graded due to circumstances beyond their control, it may be helpful to discuss the situation with the teacher, a school counselor, or an administrator to find a resolution.
