Below 60% is an F still? An F isn’t passing. The late assignments, poor attendance and participation is definitely questionable. What the hell.

What’s the graduation rate of that school?

As someone who was a great test taker but not very good at attendance. I disagree. If i can come into class and Ace every final and midterm and other assignments, then i have proven i know the material and deserve an A. Giving me a C because i missed days when we were doing over something i already mastered doesn't make sense. Some people pick up things faster than other and don't need to spend a whole week hammering it home in lecture. Just grade me based on my grades.

How many instances does that typically happen with in high school though :beli:

Only a few and even you know that.

They doing that wack shyt here.. Turning kids into underachieving liabilities. Thats why a lot of people get a big surprise after they graduate and participate in life as an adult..

That's why a lot of them completely bum out of college as they weren't prepared by high school for it.

The public schools I went to were 59% and below were Fs. The private school I went to was the same way yours was though.

I somewhat agree, but I think the point of attendance was to get the kids in a position to learn. That’s something you can be more accountable for in college, but grade schools have to operate differently. At least that’s my understanding of it.
