Zero sense
Editor, Daily News:
I hope everyone noticed the placement of articles on the front page of Sunday’s paper.
Below the deplorable idea about students not receiving a zero is an article about a Naples photographer not completing albums that are two years late.
He is an excellent example of someone who feels he does not have to turn in an assignment on time. Should his customers accept his performance? Should we be concerned with his self-esteem?
Collier County public school system official Beth Thompson needs to be relieved of her duties immediately, and she should take the other Thompson [the Supertinedent] with her. The superintendent is allowing this destructive idea only to pad his figures of district graduates. The policy is a lie to build both their resumes.
As far as the teachers, they deserve what they get as they never stand up for themselves. If my child fails a test, cheats on a test or does not turn in an assignment, my child deserves a grade that matches the effort and performance. That’s the way children develop responsibility.
