Intervention

this new thing they're doing with intervention doesn't really make much sense to me.
If you're making below a 55% don't you think you should be working with your teacher?
Instead, they're letting the kids who aren't failing as bad work with the teachers, and they're making the kids who are failing hardcore sit in a room with their laptops, ipods, cell phones, with very little adult supervision.
It just seems more logical to have the kids who aren't failing as much be sitting in the "study session" and letting the kids who are failing worse work one on one with the teachers.
I do, however, like the new thing they're doing with the Early Release Fridays.
I don't think kids who have below average grades should be rewarded. I'm glad they're making the kids who have D's stay behind too. I mean sure, that's more kids that don't get out, but that's also more kids who have a better chance at raising their grades, and that's also a better way to motivate kids to actually pass. Because I know a lot of kids who are just like "Oh, I'll raise my grade from an F to a D, that way I can get out this Friday and then end up still doing badly in that class.
