Students hacking the high school grading system is a result of school policies that make it difficult for low-performing students to fail. Some school districts have a grading floor, allowing students to pass with very minimal effort. For example, even if work is never done, students cannot receive lower than a 50 percent on any assignment. This creates a scenario where students can skip over 100 days, complete a few assignments, and still pass. The hack takes advantage of the fact that if a student needs two-thirds of the points to pass, a zero work results in a 50% grade, requiring only a small amount of work to pass. #HighSchoolGrading #HackingTheSystem #GradingPolicies
