LAWD!! - glad my kids aren't in schools anymore - Jeez, where did they find this nimrod of a principal...this just ain't right.....somebody should twist her knickers a little...
GOLDSBORO — A central North Carolina middle school is selling grades to students to raise money for the school.
The News & Observer of Raleigh reported Wednesday that Rosewood Middle School in Goldsboro has come up with a novel fundraising plan after last year's chocolate sale failed to meet expectations. The school will sell 20 test points to students in exchange for a $20-dollar donation.
Students can add 10 extra points to each of two tests. The extra points could take a student from a "B" to an "A" or from a failing grade to a passing grade.
Rosewood's principal Susie Shepherd says it's wrong for one poor grade to change nine-weeks worth of work.
Officials at the state Department of Public Instruction say exchanging grades for money teaches children the wrong lessons.
