I think we should give the kids a pass on this year. Just advance everyone to the next grade level, and graduate the seniors. There isn't much extra learning that happens in the last grading period anyway, we are re-teaching and reviewing concepts that will be on the state standardized tests, introducing topics that will be taught in the next school year, and going on field trips. The loss of the last quarter of the school year isn't enough of a reason to take away an entire year of these kids' lives by adding on an extra year of school.
I mean, I'm open to this too, to be honest.
I just don't feel that the "let the kids do school at home" is serving any real purpose other than frustrating the heck out of parents and adding stress to an already stressful time.
However, my son currently has an F in science because, as I said, it's still fairly early in the semester and he missed a test due to illness that he hasn't been able to make up yet, and there haven't been enough assignments to base the grade on, so that zero is bringing his grade down to like a 59%. It really wouldn't be fair in our district to just give. a grade based on the current grade each student has. We still should have 11 weeks of school to go. Our students have only really completed half the year.
