“Zeros on assignments: If you give a zero on an assignment because the student did not do it, then it generates inaccurate data. This process is intended to measure student learning. When a zero is given for a missed assignment, the zero is not assessing “learning.” Assess responsibility in a different way – life skills, work habits. Don’t penalize kids by giving the zeros for not doing their work.”

How about we just dump the entire Department of Education and the public school system in its liberal communist psychobabble politically correct entirety, give out vouchers and make laws forbidding charging more than the vouchers per grade, and let the free market get rid of the millions of worthess, screaming, mind-controlled, rock-stupid political cronies called "public school teachers." And oh yeah - hang ALL of the public school administrators first.
