NEWARK – Worcester County Public Schools will waive final exams for first semester courses as a result of distance learning.
On Tuesday, the Worcester County Board of Education voted unanimously to waive semester one final exams. The waiver was recommended by school system leadership.
“We did this last spring,” said Annette Wallace, the school system’s chief academic and operating officer for grades 9-12.
Last spring, the school system waived final exam requirements as a result of the state-mandated school closure associated with COVID-19. Though students were able to attend schools some this fall, distance learning was in place for much of November and December. As a result, Wallace said Superintendent Lou Taylor was recommending a waiver of the semester one final exam requirements.
Defund public schools now we demand it… issue school vouchers
So they admit it- an ENTIRE year of learning lost when you add up last spring and this fall. Your Worcester County degree will be worth nada
Well shit, I wouldn’t want any xtra burden put on the teachers to figure out a way for finals to happen. Let’s just not have them. Then we don’t have to test on the lazy effortless crap we been teaching all year. Besides you all need time to plan your summer vacations.
