"The dog ate my homework", becomes an official excuse in Denton, TX.

I believe this is in Michael Burgesse's district, (US Rep. R-TX)

And how will this prepare the kids for real world jobs?

Is Denton expecting to only produce government workers?

And when the students start “earning” better grades because the standards have been abandoned, the teachers will say “see how good a job we are doing?”

When an employee tells their boss, “Do you want it done right, or do you want it on time.”

The boss’s usual reply is, “I want it done right AND on time, and if you can’t manage that, let me know and I’ll replace you with someone that can.”

Setting kids up for failure. Agenda 21 at it again. Stop the freakin’ madness!

Typical baffle gab from the ‘teaching’ community. What they are saying is we are too lazy to keep children back, we don’t want to deal with parents, and really we want the children to teach themselves. NOW GIVES US MORE MONEY!!!!!

Teachers will get tired of testing twice and will grade easier. Btw they can’t take the state assessment tests twice, which is what the teachers are teaching most of the time.

According to a caller to the Chris Crock show, McKinney ISD is already doing this.

This will not play well in Denton. Expect the school board to be looking for new jobs soon.

They won’t stop until they manage to drag all students down to the lowest common denominator.

On the bright side, it should be quite easy for certain students to gain a top-notch positions by getting home school or private educations away from this “normal stupication” model. Break free from the crowd and the sky’s the limit, since the majority will be drones!

Evil Progressive agents have infiltrated the schools across the US via the teaching colleges. Doesn’t matter how conservative the community is. All teachers are now trained to be mental health shills and to forward the socialist nihilist agenda.

“We’re simply separating them out and saying grades have to be all about learning, and not about behaviors that we value. We have to find another way to help kids build those behaviors.”

If something actually gets kids to learn and choose correct behaviors, I’m for it. Time will tell.

Just imagine what it would be like to hire one of their graduates.

Members of the Denton Independent School District Board should be charged with child abuse.

Do they even give out any grades below a B anymore?
