[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why can't they use the 3rd quarter grades as they were when schools closed?  Wouldn't that be fair?  [/quote]

Why would that be any more fair?[/quote]

I thought the concern was that kids couldn't tune in once schools closed.  So the grades they had before closure could work.  Why wouldn't they?

wasn't the quarter almost over anyway??[/quote]

"Almost" is the operative word.  There were quizzes tests forthcoming that kids were preparing for that did not happen.  Instead stuff got switched to online, and there were winners and losers in the online 3rd quarter quiz game.  [/quote]

right.  so to my point - why not use the grades as they were before things went online.[/quote]

It's a parallel thing:  some kids were screwed because they were given difficult quizzes after school had been out for 4 weeks, and the parallel is that some grades were cancelled altogether so some kids lost an opportunity to get grades up with quizzes based on material taught by the teacher that had been planned during the quarter.   No one got the whole quarter they were expecting, so tall students were screwed in some way.[/quote]
