A Superintendent in New Jersey has decided that kids shouldn’t be allowed to do terribly and not fail – so he’s decided to get rid of the ‘D’ grade for all his students. According to the news report:
Students in one New Jersey school district may have to hit the books a little harder to get a passing grade. In Mount Olive, you won’t see any more Ds on report card starting this fall, only A, B, C and F. “I’m tired of kids coming to school and not learning and getting credit for it,” said Superintendent Larrie Reynolds in a Daily Record report.
Now, anything mark under a 70 will be a failing score. The new policy will apply to middle and high school students. The “drop the D” philosophy worked so well for a school in Kentucky, they ended up dropping the C grade too. Now students in 5th grade and higher get an A, B or F.
the.LIFE Files says, “F’s make better counterfeit B’s anyway…”
