Teacher says she was fired for giving zeroes to students - CrimsonPhantom - 09-25-2018 01:44 PM Quote:PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. (WPEC) — A teacher in Port St. Lucie, Florida claims she was fired for refusing to give students partial credit for work that is never handed in. Link RE: Teacher says she was fired for giving zeroes to students - HeartOfDixie - 09-25-2018 01:48 PM I believe it. Those policies are common. In the district that my wife works they justify it as grading behavior instead of work. A kid can literally refuse to even write their name on the test and must be given a 40. A kid can never turn in an assignment and must also receive a 40. A kid can turn in an assignment anytime after its due and cannot have points deducted. There is no such thing as a decent publican education in the United States.

A high school English teacher of mine caught two students plagiarizing and gave them zero's. Principal came and said she could not do that. The teacher said this is my last year. She was a good teacher too. It all comes down to accountability. Most people, especially those on the left, do not want to be held accountable for their actions. RE: Teacher says she was fired for giving zeroes to students - bobdizole - 09-25-2018 02:12 PM While it is a stupid policy, she deserved to be fired. I don't know about any of you, but I don't get to pick and choose the policies I follow at my job and not expect discipline.

The official policy is you give the kids the grades they deserve. The other unwritten rule is you can't give zeros.

In some cases, teachers do allow some students time to hand in their assignments when the students have a learning disability. My teachers gave me extra time because I learn slowly when I have trouble saying and reading words which I struggle at times to even get right. I always keep saying New Hamster instead of New Hampshire, Yello instead of yellow, witch instead of which, **** instead of sit, elelelephant instead of elephant and so forth. That is why kids called me a retard and all that.

I think everybody is strongly in favor of helping kids like yourself in any way we can. I don't think the same is true of a normal kid that simply doesn't want to do any assignments or bother to take the test. Unfortunately, those are a lot more common than kids with needs. Besides, special education law gives kids like yourself IEPs etc. which help greatly. A lot of the general education kids simply know how to work the system and the system allows it.

This is what happens when we become concerned about how Susie and Johnny feel instead of about what they know. So now everybody gets a participation trophy, but if you don't participate at all you get a participation trophy anyway only it's half the size of the those who actually do the work. I suppose nothing builds self esteem like praising the lazy and the ignorant. And nothing builds a work force quite like those who have never been expected to produce and nothing fills prisons like those who have never been corrected or punished. It's the perfect recipe for the future political success of a certain party, a generation of people who expect free stuff, and who have never been taught how to think, let alone how to work for self determination. RE: Teacher says she was fired for giving zeroes to students - CrimsonPhantom - 09-25-2018 05:40 PM So because some students decided they didn't want to do there work, which they had a 2 week time frame to do in, the teacher rightfully in my book gave them zeros, she is fired and now that class will be disrupted by a slew of subs or have a long term sub until the end of the semester, which results in the students having to adjust to different subs or a long term sub's way of teaching. Then when they finally get a new permanent teacher they have to readjust all over again, all because of selfish little ***** who were too lazy to do their work.

Yep. Several of my wife's friends from college are teachers. The stories the tell about their job doe not give me hope for the future, even the ones who teach in out very conservative school district.
