I don't know how much of this is true about the lawsuit and everything, but I totally favor them making that policy. Stupid politicians trying to hold teachers responsible for grades when parents aren't even making their students work or go to school and then being all shocked when the kid gets a bad grade? WTF?
Especially because I was always taught (by my parents!) that if you don't have an education, you don't have anything. And I was raised to believe that doing well in school was important, so I worked hard. And my school was pretty square on "You do the work, you get the grade." The ones that always make me sad are the ones who do try and do the work the best they can...but just can't make the grade. That makes me so sad...
