H. G. Bissinger Quotes
The Solution To The Problem Of Poor Performance Scores Had Been A New System Of Grading That Would Encourage Students To Stay In School As Well As Improve Their Self-esteem. Beyond These Important, Admirable Goals, It Also Had A More Immediate Purpose: It Would Undoubtedly Reduce The School's Notoriously High Failure Rate, Which Had Become An Embarrassment To The School And To The School Board. Under The Plan, Equal Weight Was Given To Class Participation (which To Some Teachers Meant Simply Showing Up, Because How On Earth Were You Supposed To Quantify Participation?), Homework, Weekly Tests, And A Final Exam At The End Of Every Six-week Period. A Student Could Flunk Every Weekly Test As Well As The Final Exam And Still Pass A Course For That Period.
