I don't know how it's done at kilbo's school, but the article he linked suggests students lose privileges until they hand in the assignment. - Roger More May 20, 06:56
How do you get a kid to do anything? 50 or 0 is still failing. They're coupling it with a stronger criteria for passing a grade level vs the current - oblique May 20, 06:36 7
- But if I get half credit for doing nothing....I only need to have a 70% on another assignment to get back to passing. - Will Hunting May 20, 06:45 3
  - In the example of 2 data points, yes, but take 10 and missing one the assignments and 70% on the others - oblique May 20, 06:51 2
    - 1 missing, 9 75% - oblique May 20, 06:54
    - sorry, I mistyped above but I think it illustrates the point if you use something other than the straight 70 - oblique May 20, 06:53
- So it's just another way to keep kids moving along, that some jacktard probably got his PhD for thinking it up. - Shaun May 20, 06:39 2
  - Not sure if I misstated, it's actually the other way around. They're being stricter about NOT moving kids through -- nm - oblique May 20, 06:40 1
    - I would think more kids would move on. It lessens the impact of missing school and assignments. -- nm - volnelk May 20, 06:44
