50% Policy

Anonymous
I'd read (but can't find it now) that MCPS was getting rid of the policy that says that if a student doesn't do the work they get a 50%. Can anyone let me know if that policy still stands?

Oh yes. That's how I passed Trig in the 90s! I think it was called STAR or SUCCESS

This was just discussed recently on this thread:

Its teacher specific. Our school got rid of it mostly.

As with any MCPS policy, different schools appear to do different things. Not sure why it is not standardised

The policy is standardized. Principals just need to enforce the policy which clearly states that no work equals a zero.
