[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Go talk to your Admin.  Go talk to your MCEA Rep.  CO and the BOE have already given teachers discretion with the 50% rule.  Plenty of teachers are out here giving  zeros for work not turned in by deadline, marking unexcused absence and now allowing makeup, etc. [/quote]

I have talked to admin. Their response: there is nothing we can do. Hall sweeps? Forget about it. Kids will just “leave” so why have them?

Our school has already said no to 0%. School wide we are still doing 50% because of “equity.”[/quote]

Then the problem is Admin. Ask Admin what equity concern you are trying to address with a 50% when the student is roaming the hall instead of attending class?  What strategies they suggest be employed to get people to class timely? Ask them to help you by coming to class or team meetings to model how to effectively implement this current strategy?  Is there something else these students can do or somewhere else they can be besides the hall? If there’s nothing Admin can do to help enforce NEEDED limits when you are escalating an issue to their level, then why are we concerned with the grade percentage students receive?

And feel free to send a note to their DLAA about the concern.  Feel free to file a complaint?  Feel free to find another job at another school.[/quote]
