[quote=Anonymous][quote]Am I the only who who thinks that a high school diploma is so devalued that there is no harm giving kids who show up at least a D? We’re not talking about inflating their way into a great college, we’re talking about getting them across the stage.[/quote] There is a huge value to getting kids across the stage. A HS diploma is the ticket to a full time job with health insurance and paid sick leave. Not every kid is book smart or has the capability to perform well in school. Before the days of transparency and online grades, teachers would D students out. It was a huge service to those kids that needed the push to become productive and contributing members of society.
