[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]

Which school? We are still under pandemic rules at Eastern. If the parents never respond, you can’t give the zero.[/quote]

Well, that is strange because a teacher at Eastern in 7th grade (during online school) gave 0s to my kid who was having a hard time keeping up with the work. We talked with the teacher who explained the 0s would stand because the kid was behind and had not attempted the assignment so it was a 0. I guess we should not have responded.[/quote]
