Some teachers do not agree with this policy. Thoughts? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) While I do have some issues with this policy, I understand the need for it. In the lower elementary levels, students who are struggling may become very defeated if they see that they grade is below a fifty as they may feel they can't bring it up. At such a young age, I don't think this would be a positive situation for the student.
