No more "Fs".
« on: December 14, 2008, 01:29:37 PM »
This is just plain wrong. No more Fs on report cards. Some districts are even letting Ds be the low grade. Many kids will settle for that. And we wonder what is wrong with the government education system.

Typical liberalism, so long as we all are happy  about it it will be ok.  It does not matter that the kids can  not read, write do simple math, so long as every one is happy.

Then the over paid and under worked teachers have the nerve to ask for a raise.

If you made lower than a C at my parents home you got your a$$ whipped and grounded until the next report card.  *eek5*

Rule here in my home is below a C you are grounded. So far none of my children have made below a B.

I meant none,not one.  *du&

 I have grounded mine for B's .... It depends on the situation and the child.

If kids can't make B's, they're going to have a  hard time in today's and tomorrow's workforce.  Grades will tend to separate the future "haves" from the future "have nots."  There's not going to be a lot of good jobs for C-D students. The ones who study and work hard will  have less competition to worry about.  By the time the lazy students and the druggie students get weeded out, the job picture may look fairly bright for the those hard working, drug-free kids.

Over paid and under worked?   :roflmao:

All you have to do is drive through the parking lot of one of our area schools to see they're not underpaid. If they are, somebody needs to tell them about driving a vehicle that suits their income.  :roflmao:

Now that is not like you Gray!  I know a teacher whose husband is an accountant thus this would change her "Car status".  You can't always judge a book by its cover! :sneeky:

How true!

Plus you have to make sure you're looking at the teacher parking lot and not the students'.

In our school, the teacher lot is filled with rusting old junkers, while the student lot is filled with cars that most of us will never be able to afford.
