[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These are our (MS) grading rules moving forward:

A student’s final marking period grade will continue to be based on graded assessments (90% of a student’s final grade) and practice and/or homework assignments (10% of a student’s final grade.)

All teachers will aim for roughly one graded assignment per week for a total of 9-12 graded assignments each marking period.

Teachers using the Practice/Preparation grading category will assign a total of 4-9 practice assignments per marking period.

A score of “Z” in gradebook indicates an assignment which is missing but can still be made up.  A score of 0 (zero) indicates a student did not attempt the assignment and can no longer submit that assignment.

A deadline will be set for 7 days after an assignment due date.  If the assignment has not been turned in by that deadline, the teacher may assign a 0 (zero) as the grade.

Teachers will mark assignments that may be reassessed with an R in gradebook.  Students will be given an opportunity to reassess no more than 3 assignments in any class over the course of a marking period.

If an assignment is missing, how can it be made up? Not in on time? Zero.

Fail them all.

Where in the real world would a boss ever tolerate handing in your required work 3 weeks late?

These kids and parents need a friggin dose of reality. Their kids are losers, they will grow up to be losers, and their parents are scum. [/quote]
School isn't work. The end goal is mastery of the material, not punishing the failures.[/quote]

Fail.

Part of being educated means learning to meet deadlines. It means performing with accuracy and with consistency.  50% automatic grades for doing nothing except writing your name on something and handing it in whenever is [b]pathetic dumbing brown of America[/b].

Please do not ever think about having a kid or being a parent. [/quote]
