[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son told me that one of his friends was told he would be sent back to base school if his grades don’t go up (currently has a D in 2 classes). The sooner students are sent back to their base school the better for them. They can bring their grades back up at their base school and get on track for better college outcomes.

I’m sure when the admission changes were made they expected this would happen and increased the class size from about 480 to 550 to account for more students going back to base schools.

I support most of the changes but also agree that if a kid is getting multiple Ds by half way through 9th then TJ is not for them and going back to base sooner rather than later is best for that kid. [/quote]

This is what I tried to push last year when I had students that were failing most of their classes after the first semester, but Mukai kept moving the goal posts and dragging his feet [/quote]

Mukai became principal last January.  Maybe 2 weeks before the end of the semester.

He sent back more kids last year than Bonitatibus sent back in any prior year.  How is that dragging his feet?

He used the 3.0 standard, how did he move goalposts?  Why would he even do such a thing?

You keep bringing up the 3.0 GPA as if that is an iron clad rule, and I have been trying to tell you that it has not been consistently enforced. Mukai talks a big game, but waffles at the slightest push back. That's why he avoids meeting with teachers because he can't handle confrontation. [/quote]

He doesn't seem to be waffling in his discussions with you.  The standard is the standard and if someone points out that he is not applying the standard, he will course correct.[/quote]
