Amazing how stupid school boards can be. Why even offer education, if you don't care if the students do any of the work?

A teacher in Port St. Lucie, Florida claims she was fired for refusing to give students partial credit for work that is never handed in.
quote:
She says she gave her students two weeks to complete an explorer’s notebook project but says some of them didn’t turn it in.
That’s when she says she learned about a no-zero grading policy, written in red in the school’s handbook, stating, “NO ZERO’S – LOWEST POSSIBLE GRADE IS 50%.”

“I’m arguing the fact that you don’t get something for nothing. I want the policy changed, and it’s not just here,” she said.

So she was fired for not following policy.
It’s a stupid policy, but a policy nonetheless.

Lol at this policy.
So you have a 20% chance to get an A-F, no matter how bad you do.

No comma between bye and kids, random capitalized F in life, switching from 3rd to 1st person, etc.
Methinks this lady is just dumb as shite and they found an excuse to fire her.

I had a few teachers who offered this individually. TBH it's terrible to artificially inflate grades like this. This also probably happens when you have funding and success determined strictly by scoring. There has to be a better medium between calculated success and treating students as individuals and not just a statistic.

Participation trophies.....for everyone......partial participation trophies for some

I would bet it’s not about making kids feel better. Probably to make the school look better.
Posted on 9/25/18 at 12:18 pm to East Coast Band
When was the 50% rule implemented? I have never heard of this.

This explains a lot about the leftist generation.
First it was everyone gets a trophy, then it was everyone deserves a house, everyone should have a cell phone and internet. Everyone should get to go to collage and your know what, you should have to start your career saddles with student loan debt, you shouldn't have to pay that back.
I think even a moron can see how liberalism/progressive socialism is a cancer on humanity. It is self serving and eventually destroys the host. It has never and will never be a successful model for anything except making a few elites extremely wealthy and feel special for being in charge for a few years.

two rahtards downvoted your awesome post. I guess they don't like reality.Posted on 9/25/18 at 12:25 pm to East Coast Band
So you could legit not do shite all year and then get a D by trying the last 2 weeks. It’s not hard to go from a 50 to a 60

Where were these Teachers when I was in school?

What age are the kids? A zero seems harsh on 2nd graders.
Ridiculous. A 14-year old deserves a zero. They start high school the next year!
