Presently, an average of 65 percent of students receive a grade of A. Would you support such a limit in your school/district?
Yes

When are we going to admit that the majority of homeless adults are drug addicts? |
|
This is an impossible yes or no question, as there are so many legal, financial, social, and health (mental and physical) issues that would need to be included in this discussion. |
|
Only if strictly supervised, i.e., safety, etc., as on school grounds to ensure the safety of the children going to school and the community. |

This should not be necessary, but it is important to support students and families. We are public schools |

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.
