At least for now, saner heads prevailed in SF.

Yeah, and me long stoopid story short now komik to da why is me could write like dis widdout acting for beink really stoopid.

I have been in education since 2002 and this is the first school that I have worked at that refuses to allow failures. Always before they discouraged it, but here you will not get a contract if you fail a kid. So much so that the last six weeks I had 1 that missed the last 3 weeks of school yet I was forced to give her a passing grade for the six weeks which then passed her for the year.

It's been in place a long time, Eyecu.
I graduated high school in Detroit in 1982, and four of my fellow graduates couldn't read a single word.
Push 'em through, get that federal funding.

Good grief.

Nog Likey!
Lanogga no likey!


Remember LE-AH = Lee-dash-ah
Because the dash isn't silent!

The best part is the title NAILED it.
"Coming to ... High Schools this fall"

But only if you realize the word FALL means COLLAPSE.

And Coming To... Means Pushed in order to help the COMING FALL/COLLAPSE!

This is already here in Texas. I teach high school math, though teacher is more a title and far less a description of what I do. I am not allowed to fail students. It doesn't matter if they come to class or not. Legally they cannot force me to pass a student; however, if I fail a student I will not get a contract for the next year. So I have a choice do what is right and loose my job, my source of income or rubber stamp these kids and allow life to show them as the failures that they are. I have often argued that we are not doing them any favors by just passing them along but of course the Administration only cares about their numbers which directly affects funding.

My medical school classes were all Pass/Fail. Fortunately, I passed.

The timing for this is completely impeccable…

The school system is selling sponsorship on report cards to raise money? Brought to you by Carl’s Jr.

Hmmmm, I'm wondering how the equity system will handle the differences between students that have learn to spell their name if it has multiple syllables vs single syllable names. Will students with multi-syllable names be given a pass if they misspell them since they are unfairly and inequitably challenged? Maybe spelling your own name differently each day in an equitable school system would be irrelevant.

HAD to +1 that! LMAO!

Yet the surveys keep saying that Mississippi's school systems are bad and CA's are good?

I (jokingly) think that CA should be forced out of the US and a 10,000% tariff placed on all imports from CA excepting only fresh food.

I wonder how long it would take for the tech companies to relocate to the former Confederacy?
(Might they be stupid enough to move to MA instead?)

;^)

By the way, my dad said I didn't need a scholarship I had 'headrights'...His little squaw child.

Hey, guess what? When I was in the 10th grade, by the way let me add...I was an A student all the way up. I took Algebra. It wasn't the smartest thing I ever did. I was the only female in the class. At the end of the term when we got our report cards, I looked at mine and saw an F in Algebra! Two or three days later dad said 'hey I didn't see your Algebra card in this stack of cards. I handed him the card and the roof almost left the house. It was 10 o'clock at night when daddy and the high school principal pulled my records for the year that averaged a C...the principal called my teacher and he joined them. He told the principal he graded me on my attitude. Roof of high school almost blew off. The Principal told the teacher in our school we didn't grade students on their manners, and he was welcome not to come back the next year. I make note my school district was one of the most wealthy in Texas...oil on the school property .I was offered two college scholarships and we didn't even have to take entrance exams if we had an A average like I did. We took achievement tests annually. nb

It's high time to leave that school district!
