Today, with homework counting for as much as fify percent of a student's grade, it seems almost impossible to fail. Students who are failing are doing absolutely nothing.<br /><br />Bu not allowing students to fail, the school district is creating a group of young people who know that the burden will be placed on teachers to pass them along. Smart teachers will simply give failing students a "D" and be done with the whole business. Grade inflation will prevail.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
