[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At Churchill, they are still giving 50% for missing assignments. Isn’t that a Board of Ed policy or is Churchill still doing their own thing? I think students should get 0% for 0 effort. No matter if a student is college bound or workforce bound, in the real world people are held to expectations that work is due when it is due. The policy of giving credit for no work is grade inflation. Students need the impact and consequences to learn to be organized and motivated to do the work.[/quote] You seem upset about this, but I don’t understand how it impacts you. Did your child solely pass a class because they got a 50% instead of a 0? In that case, punish your own child. Allow others to follow their own paths. A child barely squeaking by with a 60 still had to turn in and pass over half of the assignments. This child is not getting into any colleges and might have a different goal after high school.
