School District Drops 'D' Grades

Posted by samzenpus on from the pass-fail-education dept.

Students in one New Jersey school district will no longer be able to squeak by in class after the Morris County School Board approved dropping the D grade. Beginning in the fall students who don't get a C or higher will get an F on their report card. "I'm tired of kids coming to school and not learning and getting credit for it," said Superintendent Larrie Reynolds in a Daily Record report.

    I hate it when people make scales to grade something on, and then never use the damn entirety of the scale.

    That, good sir, is because this scale can only be played in dropped D.

    Or maybe they could assign letter grades, like A B C D and F.....
