[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 606431, member: 6705"] LOL hijack away, IC. SuZir, to answer the question - running a mile was graded some arbitrary way, it wasn't 1/4 mile in 20 minutes. Pat can[I] leisurely [/I]walk the 5 miles home in just under 2 hours. But running a mile - running? HAH. He's fast - for very short bursts. This is week 3 of classes (and that was in week 2) - how can you give someone an "F" for their baseline? I can see a "C", which is average, with a note - "Baseline = XYZ, Pat has problems completing the mile at a run" or somesuch. NOW - later, when they test again, I can see an "F". Why? Maybe he isn't trying, or hasn't improved. But you [I]cannot punish a kid with a failing grade for something he is not good at[/I]. The interesting part is that he is getting 100% in other activities - hockey, soccer, participation, dress - so clearly it's not a lack of attempt on his part. [/QUOTE]
