Memphis schools have decided to institute a "no-fail" policy.
Let me make sure I got this straight - we take one of the poorest performing school systems in the nation, and institute a policy that will guarantee worse results. Not a smart move.
With such a policy, teachers will be de-motivated to teach, and students will be de-motivated to learn. You see, the only guaranteed, tied-and-true method for obtaining results when trying to motivate human beings is a "risk / reward" structure.
Reward what you want.
Punish what you don't want.
It really is that simple.
