[quote=Anonymous]This article is about students who graduated in 2022 being unprepared for college. No sh!t Sherlock. That class didn’t just have the 50% rule for an “attempt”. They had 50% as the minimum for all assignments, attempted or not. The system was just trying to get kids graduated during the chaos of the pandemic and virtual year. They backed off required 50% minimum the following year and allowed 0s, provided there were multiple attempts at communication. Then last year the policy was officially revised allowing 0s, but an opportunity to allow makeup work for 50% credit. Wait for another year or two to see whether more recent students are faring better in college, at least with respect to understanding that they gave to turn in work. They’ll still be failing more than they used to, but that’s due to the overall degradation of student initiative over the past 10 years, and a topic for another thread.[/quote]
