In Florida when I was in school it was (and still is) the opposite, homework was 50-70% of the grade. This state goes on a scale grading the schools which dictates how much funding they get so it is very important for the school to be an "A grade" school. --- Quote from: eds1275 on April 22, 2015, 11:10:44 am ---I'm not saying I am a math wizard, but high school math was really easy for me. I was told beginning of semester that tests were worth 75% of the grade. I skipped every class but the tests and got like 72% overall, but was failed due to "attendance." I think this was grade 9 or 10. Nonsense. --- End quote --- |

Such ---That which is odiferous and causeth plants to grow---. But those are the rules, and although I didn't play by them I sure expect my nephews to do it. At their age I had skills - I could use tools, weld, drive, some programming, some drafting, I read for pleasure, could play several musical instruments. They... can play video games. They can barely spell (I have high standards for spelling, and I think it's becoming less and less important in school.) |

Edit: since this comment brought nothing to the table, I'm removing it. Good luck, OP. |

No, no, share your nuanced opinions about various races, ethnicities, cultural norms, and their respective influences on the high school experience. |
