[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are new to MCPS and grading. What is the policy for high school? I have a very unmotivated high school student. He currently has anywhere from 7-10 assignments missing in each class. He also has all Bs. It's very hard to get him to take it seriously when he has good grades. It looks like teachers give him a 50% whether he does the work or not. [/quote] Supposedly, the 50% regardless of whether work is done or submitted is supposed to be done away with as of this marking period. But each school is responsible for implementing this and there's a lot of latitude given to principals on how it's deployed. Also, there's not penalty due to the agreement with MCEA for teachers who don't follow the revised policy until NEXT school year. So your son's teachers might just be sticking with the same automatic 50% policy they had in the first semester out of reasons for consistency or preference.[/quote]
