[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is anyone else bothered by Jennifer Webster's quote by the post that attendance doesn't matter as long as the grade is good? Her example was if a child can go to class 40% of the time and earn a B. As a parent, I wonder the value of the classroom instruction if a child can be absent 60% of the time and earn a B. Is the material challenging enough or is the problem children are skating through without merrit? Or both problems? It's scary that Central Office staff doesn’t view the attendance numbers as a problem or something that needs addressing. [/quote] I'm actually mixed on this. Colleges don't care if you show up as long as you can do the material I'm more concerned with students that are being socially promoted and pushed through when they clearly don't even come close to mastery of the subject matter[/quote]
