A teacher is frustrated that a student with extremely poor attendance and near-zero summative scores can still pass due to grading policies that give 50% credit for zeros and have no attendance requirement.

The school's grading system allows zeros to count as 50% credit, and there is no attendance standard to earn course credit, enabling students to pass without demonstrating minimum competency or engagement.

Attendance-based credit rules (e.g., fail if attendance below 80%)
Auto-flag students with low performance that would still pass under current policy
Dashboard for administrators to review and adjust district-wide grading policies
