TARGET SEC: HS Grading Policies( Is the D Still Alive?)

["Lyon, James (LHS)" <LyonJ@EDMONDS.WEDNET.EDU>]

Hi LM__NETers,

I've been selected to chair a committee at my high school on whether or not
to entirely drop the "D" grade from our school's grading policy.  The
rationale is that, given our current performance-based curriculum, does the
"D" grade still have relevancy  since a "D" grade implies by definition that
the students is not meeting the standards.  If you know of any resources I
could tap both web and print to research this issue I'd greatly appreciate
it.  I'd also be interested in surveying LM_NETers as to  whether or not
this discussion is taking place at your school and what the results were.

Thanks for your help,
