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

But if I get half credit for doing nothing....I only need to have a 70% on another assignment to get back to passing.

In the example of 2 data points, yes, but take 10 and missing one the assignments and 70% on the others

sorry, I mistyped above but I think it illustrates the point if you use something other than the straight 70

Not sure if I misstated, it's actually the other way around. They're being stricter about NOT moving kids through -- nm

I would think more kids would move on. It lessens the impact of missing school and assignments. -- nm
