[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It wouldn’t work to just use quarter or semester grades as final grades in high school because only final grades show on a transcript and most teachers start the kids out low and raise their grades throughout the year. They call it a trend or showing progress. If they stopped right now, my sons grades would be significantly lower than they would be at the end of the year. [/quote]

It's one semester/year that will be the same for everyone.  Your DS isn't worse off than everyone else.  [/quote]
+1 Everyone is in the same boat, and colleges will know that when looking at applications. Really, the only thing that matters right now are high school credits that students NEED for graduating, and college credits that students NEED for degree completion. The most reasonable place to start with is pass/no credit for classes in progress. Students currently passing would get credit, students currently failing would get an opportunity to take an online version for credit if they need it for high school graduation (those courses already exist).[/quote]
