Canucksbiggestfan Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Half of my teachers would have been fired if they taught at that school. I received a couple zeros from teachers but some of my friends used to constantly get zeros. Now we all know that we should always do our work. Edmonton School District is messed up.

Jägermeister Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 If you do 0% of the work, then 0% of the mark is exactly what you deserve. Kids these days are really on the fast track to becoming spoiled brats, it's things like this that let them know they can get away with that behaviour.

Fathoms Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 You are not a spoiled brat for failing to comply with the standards applied to you at a forced labor camp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOMapleLaughs Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Looks like he was on his way out anyway, so he wanted to send a message before doing so. It's a good message though. Too many kids get away with ultra-laziness. Our 'superior' western society is falling down as a whole because of it. But elitist governments want us to be mindless, don't they?

Grapefruits Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 In BC teachers may be able to give out zeros but there is a mandate in regard to late work. Teachers must accept work from students, regardless of dealines or reasons, and students cannot be assessed late marks or any other penalty for doing so. Students are assessed an "incomplete" mark until the missing assignments are handed in. Education in BC is currently trending towards catering to lowest common denominator and a 100% graduation rate. Apparently accountability is not very high on the list of priorities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimLahey Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 I live near Edmonton and graduated in June. The ones who took advantage of this policy are either back in high school right now, still unemployed, or working menial entry level jobs. This teacher being fired is usually a topic on some radio stations, where everyone that calls in disagrees with the policy that teachers are forced to abide by. Basically it creates the illusion that these students can succeed in life with no effort. I think it is just to get kids out of school where they can't be put in a position to apply for post secondary, but to get a job that requires a high school diploma. I disagree with the policy, but its just how it is I guess.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Colt 45s Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Failing to comply with a direct order is a reason to be fired. I just hope he received a nice severance cheque from the school district. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
