[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]However, the 50% rule isn’t why students are not attempting assignments. Students don’t attempt when they lack the skills to do the work and/or they don’t see the value in the assignment.[/quote] Quite true, but also because they have calculated that they can get the grade they want without putting in their best effort. In the days of final exams, a student with an A first quarter would continue working hard in the second quarter. Dropping to a B would necessitate an A on the final exam to get an A in the course. Many of those students would not be up to the task of eaning an A on the exam and would end up with a B for the course. Now, every student who drops from an A to a B in the second quarter gets an A for the course. MCPS is not giving away A's for course grades, but it is certainly easier to earn them. [/quote]
