[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I graduated in the late 80s and there used to be final tests worth a good percentage of your grade. There were no "do overs" or late work allowed. Late work was counted as zero. I went to a state college and it was pretty much the same except courses moved much more quickly and there was a ton of reading. My kid, also at a state university, reports the same expectations today. Why are high schools doing this other than to graduate more people? All my kids learn is that they have another chance and may not try hard enough the first time. [/quote] It’s wonderful that schools have evolved In their practices since the 1980s (when I was in high school too). Things are so much better now.[/quote]
