I'm not sure how to modify grading on work that was never handed in...Mrs. Chilihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09814787474739856911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3122892979491609195.post-33640471275711281332012-05-28T14:01:27.001-07:002012-05-28T14:01:27.001-07:00Ms Teacha: we have a SIG grant and we jump through...Ms Teacha: we have a SIG grant and we jump through all the hoops. I gave an exam last week. The review was the same test with the multiple choice removed. We worked all of the problems out for 3 days. I put them on the web (from the SMART board)> I let them use the review sheet during the test. My average grade was a 59.<br /><br />How can you fail a test like that?<br /><br />I would love it if the school would acknowledge the large number who get arrested. It is more if you count youth detention. But they do not want to see that aspect.<br /><br />PO - too many. There were lawsuits in the 90's from people who graduated and couldn't read. I see that happening again.Ricochethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12594506449363717006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3122892979491609195.post-51323752134117114042012-05-28T13:35:44.367-07:002012-05-28T13:35:44.367-07:00I wonder how many graduated that did not deserve t...I wonder how many graduated that did not deserve to graduate.

Does your school have a plan for increasing graduation rates?Teachahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08067893917869707719noreply@blogger.com
