[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FCPS high school teacher here. The elimination of 0 grades has killed education. Kids have no consequences because they get 50 no matter what. I have students with 20 absences already, yet they still have a C. Kids are selective when they want to try because they know there is no consequences.

Don't even get me started on the social studies PBA instead of the SOL. What a farse. Kids just sneeze on a piece of paper and they get the verified credit.

I'm hoping Youngkin will get rid of the 50 minimum, SOL for social studies, truancy fines/punishments.

What are the odds any of these ever come back.[/quote]

But, isn't a C the new F? I expect all of us are selective at times, in deciding what to focus on/prioritize.  A 50 = F.  And actually, the SOL is pretty easy to pass.  Just look up  how many you can get wrong and still pass. The PBA has been a headache for teachers since they have to grade them, so I am guessing that is really what is pissing you off. [/quote]
