[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm talking about having a consistent and transparent process so that teachers know exactly what standards students need to meet and what the process is for communicating with parents and administration about students in danger of being released. Students are released throughout the year, especially 9th graders. This is not just something that happens during the summer.

The 3.0 GPA requirement is no longer a thing, or at least it hasn't been enforced at all.

There should be a consistent standard and process, because I have seen parents put up a fight and drag the process on for months while some students are released right away because they don't have someone advocating for them.  This puts teachers in a difficult situation. [/quote]

The standard is 3.0 that has been the standard the whole time.  The fact that Bonitatibus didn't enforce that standard through a liberal waiver policy  doesn't change the standard.

All this happens at the end of a school year, how do parents drag it out for months ... during the summer, how are teachers ever involved ... are you suggesting that teachers should change their grades to prevent this?

This doesn't happen in the middle of a semester or at the end of the fall semester.  It happens at the end of a school year.

It's hard to believe you are a teacher at TJ and you would not know this.[/quote]

Literally everything you said is not true. I personally know students who were dismissed during the school year. I also know of students failing multiple classes, but the parents dragged out the process for several months. The 3.0 GPA is not being enforced consistently at all.

No, I do not think teachers should be changing grades to prevent students from being released. I don't even know how you inferred that from my post. I have actually been trying to stay ahead by notifying admin about students who are failing and struggling at TJ, but every AP handles things differently and Mukai constantly moves the goal posts, that no one has no idea what the process is [/quote]
