Elimination of C, D, and F grades. Possibility or fantasy? Old 06-11-2011, 10:01 AM
Clip to ScrapBook #1 I am in a group taking a college course entitled Making Learning Meaningful, Every Student Can Succeed. It is based on the beliefs and books of Dr. William Glasser. He believes in Choice Theory and the concept of the only person you can control is yourself. He believes that in education that schools should eliminate C, D, and F grades. Students should only be given credit for competent and quality work (B, A, A+). He believes almost all students are capable of performing at this level. The alternative to giving these lower grades of C, D, and F, is to keep giving back work to be student corrected until they reach a competent level. In order to complete this assignment, we need teacher input on how they think this would or does work in their classroom and school.

When is the last time your boss was content for you to turn in any old product because he/she had the patience to ask you to do something over and over again?

Yeah, ok, so I give the kid a second, third, or thirteenth chance to redo the work he or she should have buckled down, paid attention, and done his best on the FIRST time.
