[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, at my high school we were informed in a staff meeting that admin has realized too many students are abusing the 50% rule.  BasicAlly skipping class all day and then  showing up for a few days to get their grades up.  Sometimes this meant a kid showed up in class at the end of a semester after never seeing the teacher for a few months.

We were informed we can now give 0% if we contact home at least three times even if no one responds.

Also, students that skip classes repeatedly will have all grades changed to 0’s if admin requests it as a consequence.

Also, if a student disappears from school for 15 school days without a valid reason they will be unenrolled. (Official MCPS policy)

I am curious what the thoughts are here.   Personally I am looking forward to it.  Finally some teeth in the accountability.[/quote]

This will be condemned soon because The black and brown collation will tell you that the change is targeting the black and brown kids and prevent tem receive good GPA.[/quote]

I'm not the PP but I often use dictation rather than type on my phone and that is exactly the kind of thing it does.

Don't use words you can't spell. And no, "autocorrect" did not change correctly-spelled "coalition" to "collation," so don't even try it.[/quote][/quote]

Don’t bother. PP used an ad hominem on the collation poster because s/he can’t actually refute what was said. [/quote]

The "collation" poster gets a failing grade. No bullshit excuses about how dictation made the difference. That is an excuse -- why do you need an excuse for failing? Are you one of those "collation" people who just can't do things right and need extra help? Huh, hypocrite?[/quote]

I didn't read their post but it does sound like a dictation issue.[/quote]
