Search Results: giving out your number

The reason given for this policy is that you don't want to take the kid out of the game in the first quarter by giving a zero and creating a 30-week discipline & attendance problem. The local Board of Ed policy is we teachers have to leave room for them to pass the class. The math generally works like this across most districts that I'm aware of:

WITH THE ACTUAL EARNED ZERO (NOT LIKELY - MY EXPERIENCE IS IT'S USUALLY IN THE '30S OR '40S BECAUSE OF CLASS WORK & ASSESSMENTS) The kid would need to get a MINIMUM 81 EACH quarter AND on the midterm & final just to pass with a 65%.

WITH THE UNEARNED 50%: Each quarter is worth 2/10 of your final grade and the midterm and final is worth 1/10 of your final grade so, if you crunch the numbers, it's 2 * 50 = 100 and then you need 8 * 68 = 552 for a total final grade of 65.2% which is a passing grade.

So here's the question: Do you give them the freebie grade of 50 and only ask them to achieve a 68% average for the rest of the year or so you demand better and measurable improvement and make them work for the MINIMUM 81 for the next 30 weeks?

BEFORE YOU ANSWER KNOW THIS:
1) I have never known a department chair person to say no to a teacher's discretion to change the grade to whatever the most "common good" is; that is to say if the kid doesn't get the minimum 81 to pass but has shown improvement up to say let's say in the low mid-70s or even high 60s, as long as that chairperson gets a heads up on WHAT you're doing it's absolute teacher discretion, the WHY is left to us (correctly I believe) to determine after 40 weeks of being with that student.
2) EVEY ASSIGNMENT IS ONLINE for parents to view 24/7

So what's it going to be? Mediocrity or merit? Freebies or no free lunches? What's the "common good" for the student, the teacher, the school, the parents, the college, future employers and the community and nation at large?

Overall I find women especially modern women to be more selfish, entitled, poor communicators and combative over fickle issues then men. I also find them more difficult in the workplace.

This isn’t all of them but too many of them.

For example this evening I was giving away something for free on craiglist. A woman contacted me about the item via the CL ad. I told her I wasn’t going to be available until a certain time and to text my phone number directly (i don’t like using the app). She went on this long story trying to convince me to meet up earlier. Then she messaged me on the app (which I didn’t check) at the meetup time. I didn’t respond because I told her to text my phone directly earlier. She then sent a message on the app complaining about me wasting her time. But this is for something that is 100% free. She had a sense of entitlement about it.

Men don’t bitch that way when we are getting something for free. We don’t feel entitled to freebies and handouts the same way women are.

Anyway I glad I didn’t give her the item I was giving away. But I have been giving away a lot of stuff on CL for free lately and i notice women are always more demanding when i communicate with them.

So I was wondering since i think im finally ready to date again (m29) after my long relationship. I decided to not do online dating as it's just not my style i guess ( last time I dated online dating was still considered uncool 😂🤷)
So basically would you be interested or no? I think I take my pride in being a confident 6. I'd walk up to you kindly apologize for the ambush maybe a little small talk if you have time for it and then ask you out for coffee giving you my phone number ( so you don't give yours to a stranger).

So would you message back or should I be prepared for bunch of rejections only because it's not done that way nowadays?
