Assistant principal bans teachers from failing kids, insists they give students A’s or B’s instead of F’s: ‘If they know the material but don’t turn in any work, then they should have an A or B in your class.’
When I was in high school, there were extremely generous late-work policies. You had three days to turn in late work, and if you didn’t turn it in after those days were up, you’d get a big fat zero. They would threaten zeros, but I knew nary a kid who actually got a zero if …

Male teacher gets dress-coded for wearing a t-shirt despite half the staff wearing t-shirts daily: ‘Our school is near being an F school, half of our staff are not certified, but my shirt is the problem’
