Ok so DS brings home this sheet from health class and in addition to the regular homework-- they have to read a 2 pg health article every weekend and highlight parts of it and write about 5 things you learned from the article- if article is from the internet, it has to be a 4-5 pg report. Anthything less will give you a 50% grade. Once a week the teacher has them walk a set course during class time... you have to walk it exactly and do not stop at any point in it; or you will get an F grade for the day. tardy 5 times=F grade entered into the gradebook-- each tardy therafer will result in an additional F being added into your grades. Then it has how you can earn extra A's-- you can go work out with the teacher after school-- up to three times a week for 45 min, lifting weights-- and earn an extra A for each time. Then on Fridays, after school, teacher has a 60 minute walk.. to earn yet another A. Sign up and record all your physical activity and get an A added into your grade for the semester. Now Im all for getting kids to be more physically active but this sems to be a bit biased/unfair in my opinion. The kids that are able to do these physical challenges will get a better grade than those who dont... and it wont matter what grades you got on actual homework or tests. Im seriously concerned about this class!!
