[QUOTE="Blk04L, post: 16016132, member: 48574"] Was good in theory, but was a shitshow. I thought NCLB was replaced in 15 with Every Student Succeeds Act, which scaled back the fed role in K-12 schools? Quick edit: [URL='https://www.edweek.org/ew/issues/every-student-succeeds-act/index.html']The Every Student Succeeds Act: An ESSA Overview[/URL] The new [URL='https://www.ed.gov/essa']Every Student Succeeds Act,[/URL] signed into law Dec. 10, 2015, rolls back much of the federal government's big footprint in education policy, on everything from testing and teacher quality to low-performing schools. And it gives new leeway to states in calling the shots. That's a big change from the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB), which ESSA replaced and updated. The [URL='https://www.edweek.org/ew/collections/essa-implementation-report/index.html']Every Student Succeeds Act takes full effect in the 2017-18 school year[/URL].

Students are required to meet certain standards. If you don’t meet it on the first shot then we’re going to give you other opportunities to meet it," Superintendent E. Wayne Gent said, in a sit-down interview Tuesday afternoon. Gent said students who have difficulty in school don’t often feel positive academic pressure from simply being given a zero when they don't turn in an assignment. "The easy way is to say, 'Ok, we’re going to move on and leave you behind,' and that student is going to be unsuccessful," he said. "That’s not the culture that we’ve established in the school district.” Gent reminds people a 50 percent is still a failing grade, which on a four-point grade point average scale is considered a 0. "We’re not making it easy for students," he said. "It’s holding them accountable. It’s rigor. It’s hard work. We want to make it more difficult to fail than easier to succeed.” Michelle Mccown said she was surprised to see a 50 percent grade on her daughter's online grade log for assignments that haven't been turned in yet because she was out for doctors appointments.
