		<description>“What are we really grading with this F?”

An F is a failure of the school system to meet the students needs. 

&quot;It is not the school’s job to instill morality and ethics in our kids; that’s still our job, whether or not we homeschool. It’s up to parents and the church to teach morals, ethics, behavior, life skills, etc.&quot;

Ultimately, morality is all that schools teach. Once we have forgotten all of the content knowledge learned in class, the doctrines of obedience, cooperation and institutional learning stay with us forever. Morality is not taught through content knowledge, it is taught through the design and values of the system.

		<description>I certainly agree with you. Giving a child an F doesn&#039;t get the paragraph written. Doesn&#039;t address the reason why she didn&#039;t write the paragraph. It&#039;s simply punishing her for not meeting our standards instead of working with her to find out what&#039;s going on.</description>
