[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid got a 7/14 in an art elective in MS on an assignment (not a test). She did the work. Did poorly and now has completely given up on the class. So yes, let's hand out 50s like candy to kids. Especially in classes no one gives a crap about. Retakes allow kids to feel like there is a reason to keep trying.

And no, there is no retake on this stupid assignment and even if there was, I wouldn't have her do it. It's MS and art. Who cares.

Just sharing to show you how easily kids can give up when they see no way to dig out of a hole. Can't really recover from a 50. [/quote]

Why did she get 50% in art assignment?  Art should be a fun course in in Middle School.  A lot of students love Fine Arts classes one of the only classes they can have fun in.   [/quote]

You'd have to ask the teacher. She's not good at art maybe. I don't know. She is a Level IV/AAP student with all A's in every class (including Geometry) and had all As in 7th. Had all 4's since 2nd grade. A good student. Not an artist I guess. She wanted to make all A honor roll like she did last year but that dream is dashed. It's really messed with her head. [/quote]
