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!) My school used to not assign scores lower than a 60, but we have since changed our policy. What you get is what you get. In this case, I think that the kids should have to do something to earn the points back. I don't have too much of a problem giving the students a chance to get a passing grade in the new class, but they must do something to earn it. Otherwise, we are sending the students the message that they can get something for nothing. |
