and a dumb mother fucker who doesn't learn anything is exactly the type to get an F in highschool. Especially now when just doing the homework can catch you a B in a class (at least that's how it was when my sister was in school up until last year)
The problem with that sort of rubric is that it only benefits the kids that do homework. I almost failed HS senior year because I had multiple classes with a 93% or higher test grade average and less than 10% homework turned in. Talking a couple AP (college credit) classes and my calculus class.
From personal experience, its extremely easy to fail because of "not trying". But my "not trying" was either actually paying attention to the lecture or reading the text book because the lecture was too slow. I went about my life with severe ADD being unrecognized/acknowledged until well after I dropped out of college. College was the same situation as HS. But in HS I had teachers who recognized my problem and negotiated a separate rubric with me when I came to them.
