[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Or maybe we can just let the kids FAFO. If they are earning less than a 20%, it's not like they are showing up now. We shouldn't make-up a new system to let them make it up in an easier way like Edmentum.

ALL 14-year-olds can understand that if they don't show up or complete work, then they won't pass. I would feel differently for students who show up and complete the work, but it is not passing work. Those kids should receive remedial instruction and help. But not showing up or completing work? Nope! They don't need a special class for that! They chose not to show up, now they will have to give up their summer. In addition, there needs to be consequences for the parents if a child doesn't show up a certain amount of days.

If they don't attend summer school, then they don't graduate. [/quote]

I agree with the idea that it's good for these kids to finally be seeing consequences.

But ALSO, I think they need to be placed at the correct level at the outset. A huge share of MCPS students aren't reading proficiently, and putting them all into Honors English 9 is setting them up to fail.[/quote]
