Final Grade = the AVERAGE of the two Scores!

• Your final exam score must be above a 60% in order to pass the course. • Your final exam score is calculated by averaging the two scores together.

In the example above, the final exam score would be figured by:78.52=100= 178.52

178.52/2 = 89.26% = Passing

What is the FINAL EXAM score that this student earned? _________________

What happens if I don’t Pass?• Your teacher will call you and set up a plan for remediation.• Once your remediation is completed, your teacher will ask

the principal for permission to re-set your exam. • Each exam can ONLY be re-set 1 TIME!• If you re-take one part of the exam and that boost your exam

score above a 60%, you will NOT have to take the 2nd part of the exam over.

Conclusion

Point of View

I think that kids should have cell phones. Kids even as young as age 8 should have them. Parents, don’t you want your kids to be safe? Isn’t it your job to protect us? Then you should give your kids cell phones.

I mean, what if the kid gets lost on his way home from school? If they have a cell phone, then they could call and tell you they were lost. You could also use the “find my phone” app to find your kid, right? Your kid would feel safe and you would feel safe.

Kids also could use the phone to help them with home work. Sure, they might play games like flappy birds, but phones are also good for research or calling a friend to help you in need. Parents you are on your phone all the time and most of us don’t have home phones anymore so it makes it hard for us kids to find a phone to use in the house. We need to have our own phones.

That’s why kids should have their own phones. Phones keep kids safe and help with homework.
