Reviewed by Parent/Guardian on July 10, 2007
Rating: (2 / 5) Flag as inappropriate
I am very disappointed in the way the teachers at this school are given carte blance to grade any way they chose. A childs grades should be based on academic acheivement. If a student has forgotten a pencil or other supplies their grades should not be effected. There should be an area for citizenship or attitude for things like that. The grade should not be brought down from a B to a D because of supplies.
