[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because of  Covid and distance learning most  students won’t be well prepared for college.[/quote]

They weren't before. My son went to a well regarded public HS that offered lots of APs courses. In 9th grade, he got full credit in all of his classes for any work turned in before the quarter ended. So if work was assigned during the 2nd week of school and due during the 3rd week, he could hand it in in the 9th week of the quarter and get full credit. No points at all taken off for lateness. I couldn't believe this was true. He told me it was but I didn't believe him so I emailed all of his teachers. They confirmed that it was true. They said the school district wanted students to get the best grade they could for the work they turned in regardless of when it was completed. WTH? I took him out of there at Christmas and put him in a local Catholic HS. If the work is turned in one day later, he gets 50% taken off. Two days late, he gets a zero. A real zero, not a 50%. How can students be prepared for college with this wishy washyness?[/quote]
