[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can’t believe we pay taxes for this freak show: https://www.reddit.com/r/MontgomeryCountyMD/comments/17ma4r1/how_mcps_is_ruining_education_for_students/ [/quote] Well, the easy solution about “one big assignment” allowing a student to pass when they have done nothing else (all other grades 50%) is to not give one big assignment. There’s already a rule that no assignment can be more than 25%. Just make sure that all assignments are no more than 9% of the overall grade. Also, the 50% rule has been revised. You no longer need two way communication to give a zero. All you need to do is document that the parent was informed. I started sending a weekly email to parents showing the missing assignment, stating the deadline, and offering help. I cc the student and counselor. Sent via TeacherVUE, I can automatically be logged in the Contact Log. Once the deadline passes, I enter the zero and resend the email to all concerned. [/quote]
