Case: Grades
I have students who never dress out or participate for P.E. I have tried everything under the sun to try and get them to participate. I have even told them they did not have to dress out, as long as they walked during class, I would give them credit (because they were being physically active). These students have been removed from the class and put in another class. I received an email that both students, both average below a 20%, that their grade will be modified to a 60% going into their new class. In my opinion, this is teaching the kids that they do not have to do anything and will just be given a higher average. How do you approach this situation?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I completely agree! I once taught at a school where no student scored below a 60%. Personally, I feel that if a student produces an assignment with only 20% then they have earned that particular grade. Students are going to have a rude awakening in the real world and college when they find out that it works completely different outside on grade school. Have you tried calling parents? Hopefully the parents care enough to make their child dress out. If not, you could always provide an alternate assignment or administer consequences not dealing with their grade. |

| Comments: I also agree that we are handicapping our students by showing them we will not punish them for their lack of performance, instead we will boost their grade which shows false improvement. I have students who has a 20 on a progress report (we are allowed to post true grades on this) and then it drops some more, but on the report card I am required to post a 60. This gives the false impression of a 40 point improvement. |

| Comments: I really agree with this. Now a days we are just handing out the grades and these students think they can get through life without having to put the work in. I think calling the parents is a good start. |
