Another example of progressive educators unwilling to deal with student failure while improving the scorecard for the school.

Same thing is being investigated in Columbus Ohio.

“Progressive Educators” is an oxymoron.

Our schools have been ruined to accommodate a defective demographic. This practice outlined in the main article merely accelerates the process.

I have taught for eight years and have never been allowed to give a grade lower than a 50. The reason I am given for this is, “It is just too hard for students to make up their grades if they receive a zero.” Excuse me, but they don’t “receive” zeroes, they earn them. What they “receive” is 50 free points when they refuse to do an assignment.

Other articles i see from the SW US always show the latest
triumphs of education , failures of the testing, disparities
between the races etc. and the papers almost NEVER look beyond
the education heads statements to see the BS.

Very disjointed reporting missing important facts like
the “non english speaking children” {of illegal parents} scoring lower and throwing off the real test results —
and then demanding more ed. money taxes.
