Whose choice is it really?

A few weeks back, I mentioned that funding of private schools with public money would be a significant policy question this legislative session. With five proposals so far, and potentially more to come, the “school choice” debate is now in full swing. I will share some details here to hopefully provide some flavor for the politics of the situation.

MY TURN: Cd'A district policy fails students

A board policy that does not restore the improved grade that a student achieved after retaking a failed class is a punitive permanent policy. This policy punishes a student who has motivation, commitment, persistence and academic success. By insisting that the previous failed grade has to be averaged with the improved grade, the student can never achieve higher than a "C" for the G.P.A which is cumulative and stays on the permanent record. This inaccurate measure of achievement punishes students for possibly four years and beyond. That GPA can determine whether a student is accepted at a college, gets a scholarship, gets into a training program post high school. It also can punish parents who believe their child should receive full grade value and be eligible for a good student insurance discount with a 3 point GPA that was denied.
