[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

50% is still failing.  What bearing does that have on the rigor of a class or its assignments, or the supports in place to assist students.  Those are the things that deal with academic excellence.[/quote]

You can't have a culture and standard of academic excellence if you've manipulated the bar to make it easy to get away with doing the bare minimum. I don't know why this is difficult for you to comprehend.[/quote]

They aren't. The bar is whatever they decide it is. Why are you so obsessed with this? [/quote]
