[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a high school teacher at Wheaton. We are not allowed to give anything below a 50% in the All Task Category (90% of the grade). If the student “tries” (basically puts their name on it), we have to give at least a 55%. For the Practice Prep Category (10% of the grade), we are allowed to give 0% for assignments not turned in by the due date. Some teachers still give 50%. IMO, PP is worth so little of the grade, a 0% does nothing. I don’t give 50% for PP because I feel like it’s the only piece of accountability the teacher still has left. I also refuse to grade tons of late PP at the end of the quarter. It literally stands for “Practice.” If the kids are not practicing on time, what good does it do to turn it in last minute?[/quote] Someone at Wheaton HS told me that you get 55% rather than 50% for missing work. Is that true [/quote]
