[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Excuses, excuses. Where I come from, a failing grade is a failing grade—and excuses such as the students were not “incentivized” to study for the finals are simply not acceptable. What kind of work ethic are we teaching our students that it is OK to fail the finals (and still get a passing grade for the course)? No wonder US students cannot compete with students from other countries. And the failure rates are not low, suggesting a widespread problem: "For June final exams, about 70 percent of high school students failed in Algebra 1 and geometry”, and up to 32 percent (!!) in honors math classes. [/quote] Didn't they say that was the cohort of kids who were pushed too far too fast? They did not grasp the basics?[/quote]
