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 teach at a school where students get the grade they earn. I know schools down the road that give students nothing below a 50 for missing or incomplete assignments. I think that giving students the grades they earn is the right way to go about handing out grades. This approach helps to get students involved in their own education. Also, their parents should be notified about the grade change and the student shouldn't be placed back into PE because of their lack of participation. |
