[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was hoping to get a more clear answer — the principal just emailed out something about the 50% rule that indicated that seemed to indicate teachers needed to give notice of the non completion before giving a zero.

It’s weird because what happened is that over tje snow break, suddenly a whole bunch of PP assignments loaded into parentvue.  They seem to be from throughout the quarter but all are dated the last day of the quarter.  None of them have substantive descriptions(no words)  but just have a number that I guess is a chapter or unit number  maybe notes or review sheets from a particular chapter (??) but I don’t think he was clear that they were supposed to turn their notes/study sheets in for a grade.  It was never known the calendar assignment and never showed up on parentvue or studnetvue until last week.  I meant that if one of them had showed up at the beginning of quarter, we would have known that those were supposed to be turned in.  It’s a little unclear what they even are.

So the situation is weird and one I haven’t seen in my 7 years of parenting MCPS HS students … but the question was just a pretty basic one about whether the 50% rule applies to PP or just AT.  I thought for sure someone would know the answer to that.  [/quote]

I don’t think it applies to PP.  my kid got a 0% for a “missing” PP where he had kept the paper showing that the teacher marked it. Teacher said he was too late in reporting it missing, she had already recorded the zero. Certainly no one emailed me that my kid had gotten a zero, presumably because that rule doesn’t apply [/quote]
