[quote=Anonymous]The kids who prioritize school work and do well in school are not at all affected by the kids who are getting 50% on assignments. As another PP said, if a student can't possibly pass a class based on 0s in the first quarter, why would they even bother to do any work for the rest of the year. However, if they mess up in the first quarter, for whatever reason (often mental health struggles, learning disabilities, family issues), and they can still pass the class, they at least have an incentive to work hard the rest of the year. And guess what, if they don't do any work, they will get all 50% and fail. FCPS is obligated to educate all students, not just the students in the Top 10% of each class. And if you want to have harsher restrictions/deadlines/grading in honors classes, that's fine because students are self-selecting those classes. But don't make life harder for the kids who are already struggling in school. [/quote]
