School Leadership 2.0

As a student who struggled through middle school and high school, it was NEVER an issue of responsibility. I did my work and always tried my best, but compared to my peers I did not understand what I was being taught.

This generation is suffering because they don’t have to face the consequences, which only adds to that!

Students should get what they deserve..work and study hard and you will get the grade. I do believe teachers should take several things into account. Homework..attendance..participation..effort..extra credit.

Averaging in a zero does not serve any purpose but the same is true for inflating grades.

All students can learn and produce work. Teachers modify and differentiate the curriculum daily. Students must be active participants in their education.

Total BS

As an educator, we are responsible for giving scholars every possible chance to succeed outside of cheating. A 50 in no way provides assistance to scholars unless they earn very high grades thereafter and if so confirms that they needed that incentive

Nobody did this for me or anyone in my generation and we all turned out fine. This is unfair to those who do work for their grades.

Lessening requirements doesn’t help anyone(. Nor does minimum grading.

The real world does not keep employees who fulfill only 50% of their work. There is an instructional piece as well. Given special and documented circumstances, teachers should change their instruction to match the needs of the kids in front of them

Many want things handed to them vs earning them. We need to stop giving away education and encourage students to earn an education.

This is only an incentive to stop trying. Students are perfectly satisfied with the low grade and figure a grade is a grade is a grade and don’t, therefore, even consider trying harder for a better grade. This is a crutch, that does nothing for the character

A 50/55 is hard to come back from. It’s not like it is a gift. It allows for a mathematical chance of still passing for the year, so the student can remain somewhat motivated.

Grades do not teach responsibility. All academic institutions should move more toward standards-based mastery.

Minimum grades can act as a safety net for students who may be struggling or experiencing setbacks early in a course. This can prevent a single low grade from significantly impacting their overall grade and potentially derailing their motivation.
