PBS question of the day-Why can't the consequence for cheating (level 2 behavior) be an "F" with the grade of 69 instead of a zero? Is the intent to fail the student or teach them cheating is not acceptable? Research shows that students who receive a zero on an assignment are 50% less likely to pass the class. I agree there should be a consequence, just not a zero. The PBS committee agrees that the intent of any consequence is to discourage the undesired behavior. The committee agrees to change the consequence for cheating on level 2 from zero to a score of fifty (50). We are asking staff to make the changes in your PBS handbook.
Kudos to Mr. Gordon for starting his own blog-"Mr. G's blogspot." It's great. He posts weekly, not daily, posting homework assignments and other important announcements for the week. GREAT JOB, Brian ! If you have started a blog or wiki, please share that info and we will share it others.
