The Oconee SC school district has the policy of changing the grades of a
student who slept in class all year then complained to the teacher about
failing. The teacher refused to change the grade. This student then
went to see a guidance counsellor and got the grade changed to passing.
This is the policy of the Oconee SC school district. Never mind that it
was an academic math course required for graduation. This is the way
things are in the Oconee SC school district. What's your complaint?
