[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These posters obsessed with the 50% rule are misguided. There are dozens of far greater issues facing our schools including a lack of emphasise on academics.[/quote] I think the people complaining about the 50% rule view that as interlinked with the lack of emphasis on academics......because how can you have a focus on academic excellence when a kid can get 50% for doing nothing? Those two things aren't compatible.[/quote] We've talked this to death, but the 50% rule is only through the end of the quarter. If the child actually does nothing by the end of quarter, they take the 0. It's meant to give kids enough room to scramble back up if they try hard enough. We want that, considering we're talking about brains that are a decade from being fully developed. [/quote]
