High School Exemption

No. Under the IDEA students are entitled to a free and appropriate public education which conforms to the student’s individual education program. Under the IDEA and federal precedent, one of the factors used in determining whether a school district substantively and procedurally provided a FAPE to a student is whether the services provided to the student conformed to his or her IEP as it was written. (20 U.S.C. § 1400). Under Rowley and state and federal statutes, the standard for determining whether a district’s provision of services substantively and procedurally provided a FAPE involves four factors: (1) the services must be designed to meet the student’s unique needs; (2) the services must be reasonably designed to provide some educational benefit; (3) the services must conform to the IEP as written; and, (4) the program offered must be designed to provide the student with the foregoing in the least restrictive environment. While this requires a school district to provide a disabled child with meaningful access to education, it does not mean that the school district is required to guarantee

These policies have been made in response to legislations that have been passed. Schools are obligated to monitor the affect of these policies to see what changes they bring forth and to make sure they are for the better, by doing this they can sort out the week points of the policies and adapt them to work for the better.

I agree with this policy because it's not that hard to pass with a C. If students pay attention and do

Thats what i have to say about the school rules that they need to change the rules to make then student want to

Have you ever wished you could just get rid of a huge problem in your life with just one step? It could be just that easy, For example at Emmitt Smith High School, there has been a huge increase in arrests and alcohol related incidents at this high school, mainly occurring at school sponsored games. Emmitt Smith came up with a new policy that drastically decreased the amount of arrests and alcohol related incidents. This is just one example of the many of why Emmitt Smith needs to keep their policy active because it is fair and necessary. It is crazy to think if this policy was not put into effect, much more bad incidents would have occurred at the High school, which is why this policy is much needed to keep students their safe.

Students are being handcuffed, arrested and expelled for possession of a butter knife or water gun, punishment that disproportionately targets African-American students, students being alienated and never returning to school after being suspended or expelled are all byproducts of the zero tolerance policies adopted by their school district. School administrators have abandoned common sense due to their adherence to zero tolerance policies by applying the same discipline to students that are guilty of minor offenses and non-violent rules violations, or just poor judgment as they due to

The law states that a student is required to be in school by the age of six and remain enrolled until the age of sixteen, nowhere in the law does it say that it is mandatory for anyone to play sports. Students will spend most of their time and energy at practices or at games, but when it comes time to do their homework or study they won’t do it because it wasn’t their first priority. So by having the rule that they need to keep their grades up students take more initiative to do their work and to complete it so they can play in games.

We the CBG students at Matoaca Middle are really smart, but sometimes forget that we have work to accomplish. The regular education eighth graders are not much different than us, so why do they not have this policy in effect. We might not make it into the specialty Centers because our grades plummet because we turn in an assignment we forgot about one day late. Things should be changed because it is unfair that the regular education eighth graders do not have to follow this rule. Noone is perfect, people forget things, so why punish our future for an assignment we turn in one day late.

One’s schedule can get so messed up that no one would have any spare time left at all ‘’not have enough time to take vacations without a long summer break’’ (Chen, p. 9). But for the parents who manage getting students to school, practice, or whatever it may be it can be a real scheduling nightmare.’’ Plus it’s not likely your employer would negotiate with you on the days you can and can’t come in due to school work. ‘’Shorter and more frequent breaks can interfere with job opportunities.’’ (Chen, p. 9) It’s either you're there or not!

One day during algebra we were learning a new and difficult way to solve an algebra problem. I didn’t know how to do the homework, so I used the internet to teach myself,the website went through step-by-step and taught me and I was able to finish and get all the right answers on my homework. Technology can be a huge positive to someone's learning experience. Every student should be allowed to have a device in the classroom because it allows faster information, different teaching techniques, and teaches you how to find the right information out of many answers .

Assistant Superintendent Denise Bartlett provided a summary of the recommended revisions discussed during the first reading of the policy: 1. Restricting a student from wearing a religious or cultural accessory or hairpiece while participating in an extracurricular or athletic activity; 2. Academic eligibility, Grades 9-12, changing the specific letter grade for passing to the word passing; 3. Cumulative eligibility check, changing the time period for how long a student remains ineligible for two weeks at the semester; and, 4. Changes in the area of academic eligibility for Grades 6-8. Currently, the middle schools use a rubric scoring to determine grades. There is a need to change the passing grade from D to 2.0. There were no additional recommendations

The “No Pass No Play” rule states that public school students who participate in extracurricular activities must achieve a passing grade in each grading period in order to be permitted to continue participating in extracurricular activities. Meaning that every athlete has to have a 70% or higher average in every class to be able to do something they are talented at or something that they enjoy. A number between 0 and 100 determines a student's intelligence and whether they are able to take part in extracurricular activities. Athletes should still be able to play sports even if they have failing grades. Sports aren’t the thing that cause the failing grade it's the athlete's attitude.The “No Pass No Play” rule isn’t fair to athletes and they

Ever since I started school at CECP, there have been many changes. Everyday extra work is required to be completed at home. Even though I completed school work at home, it is nothing like the amount of homework we receive at CECP. For me, homework is almost like doing extra school. Although I am now becoming accustomed to public school, I still do not like homework.

All through high school one always wonders why certain courses have to be taken. Thinking certain courses are a waste of one’s time and how it takes 12 years just to receive a diploma. Sounds crazy to think half of one’s life is spent in school preparing to receive a better understanding of education. During graduation, walking through the stage makes one along other proud and accomplished of all the efforts that took place. This not only helps one become more educated and aware of the things going around them, but helps become financially stable with a job or other necessities in life. Therefore, high school should be mandatory for students at least till there are 18, and not to drop-out.

     Secondly, the majority of the students that do not attend class are usually the one’s that should not attend class. These students tend to be disruptive and tardy distracting the students that actually want to further their education. If this policy stays in effect, it will continue to place students with little or no academic motivation in the same learning environment as those striving to achieve their highest potential. This is detrimental to everyone involved in the education process because it slows down the pace of progression. By allowing students to miss class, the student-teacher ratio will be more favorable and teachers will have fewer distractions.
