[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wonder if the policies of retakes/50% minimum score demotivates some (obviously not all — I am sure it helps more than it hurts) kids with regard to attendance in middle/high school – they know that if they miss something, they can make it up. [/quote] I believe (and had a teacher say this) that there’s enough leeway in the policy that students can get 0% for cheating or for missed work due to unexcused absences. There are consequences, but a kids who’s not going to school on a regular basis probably doesn’t care and doesn’t have a guardian who cares either. [/quote] I believe. Also I am pretty sure that if a student fails a class, they go to summer school, which is online, which means they can just cheat and pass. [/quote]
