An alarming study, recently released, suggests that C.T.E. is not just lurking at the margins, an outlier outcome for the most risk-prone players — in fact, at least 25 percent of N.F.L. players might expect to have it. Researchers think the real figures are much higher. CTE is thought to result from repeated head impacts. Do you think the time will come when high school tackle football will be abolished?

The University of Michigan will replace traditional letter grades for some first-semester freshmen with a pass/fail-style grade to more gently ease new students into academic life. Would you like to see this same plan for high school freshmen?

How would this impact college admission procedures? |
|
And I do not agree with Michigan's actions |
|
This is a terrible idea, and I would never pay tens of thousands of dollars for my child to go to UM only to receive a substandard assessment system like this. Pass/Fail should be reserved for individual classes such as health, PE, ethnic studies, etc. |
|
Lowering expectations is not a good idea. Maybe some scaffolding to make the grade, yes, but not a total pass/fail. Personally, I wanted to know my grade to see what I still needed to do to make the required grade. Pass/Fail makes it too easy to take |
|
No ! Give an actual grade that indicates more than pass/fail! I’m a former principal and teacher. Ridiculous policy! |

Mentors.net - a Professional Development Resource
Mentors.net was founded in 1995 as a professional development resource for school administrators leading new teacher induction programs. It soon evolved into a destination where both new and student teachers could reflect on their teaching experiences. Now, nearly thirty years later, Mentors.net has taken on a new direction—serving as a platform for beginning teachers, preservice educators, and
other professionals to share their insights and experiences from the early years of teaching, with a focus on integrating artificial intelligence. We invite you to contribute by sharing your experiences in the form of a journal article, story, reflection, or timely tips, especially on how you incorporate AI into your teaching
practice. Submissions may range from a 500-word personal reflection to a 2,000-word article with formal citations. Click here to explore and contribute an article.
Also, consider the exciting learning opportunity offered through the Mentors.net AI Academy.
