[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When my oldest was in ES, we were told the kids got "weighted" grades. I don't know what that means, but as a practical matter, my son got Bs in Reading when he was completely unable to read. In MS, grades were no longer weighted and there were definitely some failing grades. Same in HS. Thing is, high school is more like college in that you have to take a bunch of classes - some defined, some out of a selection in a subject matter and some electives. If a class has a prerequisite, you have to take the prerequisite first. But, if not, you can take the classes in any order you want. So, if you fail some classes, you just pick them up later instead of repeating a grade. [b] But, if you fail, the class doesn't count. [/b][/quote] I guess this is one way of closing the achievement gap. This is shameful. How is this helping kid be educated?[/quote]
