[QUOTE="VegasMichael, post: 16016237, member: 105950"] My school district requires us to give a 50% to students even if they earned a 0%. Here's the problem: Even though we have two semesters there is no clean slate once the second semester starts. Your GPA is still what it was the previous semester. It carries over. In essence, the school year is really just one long semester. So when we have kids that start off the year getting grades in the 30% range and lower but then improve later in the year and start getting grades in the 60s and 70s, those better grades get averaged with the 50%'s and they are able to pass the class. But in reality, if those 60s and 70s had been averaged with what they [i][b]really[/b][/i] got--those 20s, 30s and 40s--they would have failed the class. [/QUOTE]
