[quote=Anonymous]Look, I don’t know if I just got lucky, but both my kids had excellent teachers who were always willing to help out the motivated students. Both my kids had fantastic relationships with many of their teachers and I am so appreciative of all of their hard work and dedication.

But I don’t blame the teachers for being super frustrated at all for the ridiculous pressures they are put under with the barely there students. If students don’t show up, they should fail. PPW’s can help with the reasoning, but teachers should focus on teaching.

I think the new grading standards will help with this.

But clearly, parents also need to have reasonable demands. A child asking for help during lunch and being told no is not okay. On the other hand, a parent demanding that THEY have full access to all notes so that they can “help” their child succeed- not reasonable.

Let’s look for the positives of the new grading system and not look for things to complain about (not getting into colleges, lower scholarships), before they materialize.[/quote]
