[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My high school currently has 1,000 E grades with 50% or lower.

We are hoping this is a wake up call / FAFO moment for the students.  We’ll see.  So many students just put the bare minimum in and it has been a lifelong habit enabled by MCPS and parents.[/quote]
1000 Es total ~= 250 Es per grade level.
Usually Es are concentrated with some students failing multiple classes, so 250 Es is probably 60-80 kids per grade, which is pretty typical in my experience. About half those will be in the 45-60% range and kids will discover they have to actually hustle 2nd quarter in order to pass. Many will try, some will be successful, and some will take the lesson and be more on top of things 3rd quarter. The other 30-40 kids were going to fail both quarters regardless, most likely because they aren’t coming to school.

3rd quarter is where the first improvements should show up. Hopefully PP can report back on how many Es and it’s substantially less than 1000.[/quote]
