[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had a MS kid who was absent 65 times last year. Thanks to the 50% rule he got D’s and C’s in every class because he wrote his name in make up work the last week of the quarter. I guess it’s good he hasn’t dropped out yet, but he doesn’t pass standardized tests and doesn’t come to school more often than before. So what is the point again? Why even have grades? Why not have a checklist of which benchmark skills the kid has achieved or work habits?[/quote] How does writing your name get you a C or D? Shouldn't it be a 50? [/quote]
