Dallas schools plan to ease grading standards angers teachers | News for Dallas, Texas | Dallas Morning News | Latest News
"Our grading policy is based on raising academic standards"
heard on Headline News with Richelle Carey around 6:30 pm
a school spokesperson says:
"Kids will be able to retake "major exams" and avail themselves to taking this test, including "after school".
Did I hear that right? Try getting an IEP after school.
Talking points:
•Homework grades should be given only when the grades will "raise a student's average, not lower it."
•Teachers must accept overdue assignments, and their principal will decide whether students are to be penalized for missing deadlines.
•Students who flunk tests can retake the exam and keep the higher grade.
•Teachers cannot give a zero on an assignment unless they call parents and make "efforts to assist students in completing the work."
