“She’s only gone to school five days this whole year, and her grades are still passing” (165). What??!! How is this possible?
Each student should be valued, respected, and accounted for. How is it possible that a student could miss more school than they have attended and they still have a passing grade? How is that helping the student? How can the teacher justify that?? There are students in the class showing up and participating everyday, how does that validate the hard work that they are putting in?? It doesn’t. Why try? Why show up? What is the incentive? The student who is in class everyday should be validated for that and the student who is missing everyday should be held accountable for such behavior. Also, what if this student is having serious troubles at home? Is anyone checking on that? How is continuing to give them a grade going to help a potential serious problem at home?
