Will Corona crisis pass failing students?
SD17 was failing a class badly before the quarantine. She got a 70ish% on an exam and that brought her grade up a little. DH must be so proud. Anyone who follows my blog knows that SD only goes to school when it is convenient which drives me crazy because I cherish my time alone in this house and those days were comng fewer and far between with the SDs being home for various reasons(now it's zero due to corona but that is no fault of the skids). She had to miss close to 20 days this year before the quarantine. I don't know if she is good about doing homework etc because she is in her room constantly but I will assume she is on her phone and social media. DH used to talk about how she is always up in her room doing homework like a good girl. OK DuH. My concern is that because of the COVID crisis, teachers will pass students that are failing. Why does this concern me? IM SO TIRED OF NO CONSEQUENCES!! If she passes she will get thousands of dollars from family to buy a car that she does not deserve. She won't have to go to summer school like she deserves.
SD20 did not graduate on time and her grad party was canceled(by me, DH never would have thought of that on his own), she couldn't walk in graduation, no gifts and BMs family humiliated her. They are relentless assholes. SD17 is the golden child as is, especially with Auntie D(BMs sister who pays for SD17s phone bill and always the newest iphone and takes her on vacations while ignoring SD20 and the younger boys). Most likey DH will still give her $1000 toward her car and lie about it. Summer school will probably be online too which is a consequence for her but I'm looking for her to get the fuck out of my house everyday. Once school is over, she is here everyday, yet not availble to babysit in case she has something to do.
When quarantine is over, I plan on traveling even if it just to visit my parents 20 mins away lol. Im feeling kinda FML but it's my own stupid choices that got me here.

I think everyone is just going to skate on through this year. Many schools aren't even teaching new curriculum!

Here they just made the grades pass/fail for the semester. My kiddo is in kindergarten, so it doesn't apply to us and I have no idea where the "fail" threshold is set. But I suspect a lot of kids will pass who otherwise wouldn't have.
School systems don’t know what to do with loser students
By failing them, or failing to many the state steps in wanting to know why they can not educate? So passing student get them off there hands and makes everyone happy . The kid is not going to do well anyway so they give them half of a chance

Lovely. DH has always saved the precious children from adversity but graduationg HS is something he cant do for them. So for once DH cant save her but the Coronavirus did. Hopefully she will fail so we don't have to have a party.
