This idea - setting the failure bar at a minimum of 50 - is just amazing:

"The 'E' is to be recorded no lower than a 50 percent, regardless of the actual percent earned. For example, if the student earns a 20 percent on a class assignment, the grade is recorded as a 50 percent," said the memo from Jerri Lippert, the district's executive director of curriculum, instruction and professional development, and Mary VanHorn, a PFT vice president.

It will certainly make the slackers happy, since they can do a lot less to get by. Standards, anyone?
