[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can someone clarify this for me? What was it pre pandemic? What was it last year? What is it this year?

I thought kids got fifty percent even if they did not turn in the assignment. But something in another thread in FCPS says you have to at least turn it in to get the fifty percent. [/quote]

They revised this recently. It was well covered here but you'd have to search.[/quote]
It was revised, at least in our HS.  You get like 2 or 3 chances, after that, they can give you a 0.[/quote]

Is t there a requirement of actual contact with parents before you can go to a zero?  That’s how it was explained to us during BTSN. The problem then is that kids with responsive parents could get a zero but kids whose parents ignored the effort to make conduct would get 50%. So it encourages parents to ignore calls and e-mails from teachers and penalizes kids whose parents respond.

Not an expert, but I recall a teacher weighing in on a prior thread and they said they have to document at least X attempts to contact parent (don't recall what X was- maybe 3 times?)  So they email/leave voicemails 3 times and then can proceed.  I guess.  
The parents are contacted in high school for a zero? I’m
Surprised. I’ve received no contact and saw a couple of zeros for my 9th grader. [/quote][/quote]
