[QUOTE="zoops, post: 232012, member: 790"] Agree with you. I would also agree with the other side a bit that we can't just dump a kid on the scrap heap because they don't want to do their work. But there do have to be consequences so it's a tough dichotomy. Just curious as to when you retired? [COLOR="silver"][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] No offense taken. I'm a high school teacher. I've heard several times from other teachers of a large middle school in ND that has had a no zero policy for quite a few years, so I'm guessing others do as well. Although with the standard-based grading being used in many places, grading overall is quite a bit different at those levels than it was 10 years ago, in some ways good some bad. Have heard from many middle school teachers that are urged to do what they can to get a kid passing. I have not a had an administrator tell me straight up that I can't give zeroes but it's commonly communicated that we need to do more to reduce the number of F's that kids receive.
