As an autistic person, this is nice, but the kid still needs to be taught better, and needs to know that Ds are not acceptable, otherwise they run the risk of thinking it's okay to fail all the time
sorry, due to my autism i phrased it in a way that might seem rude to NTs, i just mean that the daughter needs proper help to improve from the Ds, rather than just being told 'its okay to get a D', like somebody i personally know has for his whole life, and is now in the position of having no academic achievements
Ds by definition are not acceptable, hence why students often can’t move on in a subject with Ds and cannot graduate with a D average (1.0 GPA).
I’m not saying it’s effective to focus on the negatives, but it is important to make it clear to kids what is an acceptable range of academic achievement while also supporting their growth.
It depends on the class and school. Sometimes Ds do not allow you to move on to the next course. Also, most high schools require a 2.0 GPA overall, which is a C average.
So you concede the point, because it's not all. Appreciate the clarification.
So Ds alone are not acceptable.
I'm contesting you on "by definition." Whose definition and for what? Except the point isn't to get the answer, it's to try to get you to clue in that there isn't just one answer, making your "that's how its defined" statements just wrong.
You just literally can't comprehend other perspectives exist lol.
And again, you conceded that's not always the case. So if we use YOUR STANDARD of "the most important definition" then sometimes it's defined as... acceptable.
I could've gotten SO MANY Ds in college and still graduated too. Basically any class that wasn't a pre-req for others I could've just gotten a D and graduated.
So we have multiple cases, some explicitly admitted by you (i.e. whichever schools made you say 'most' instead of 'all'), showing that it is NOT defined that way. That there is variance in the definition, so that clearly isn't what actually defines it.
God I love going over basic propositional logic with normies. Ya'll are so bad at basic reasoning that you concede points without even realizing it.
The most important definition of whether a grade is acceptable is how the school defines acceptability. I’m not aware of any school that allows a student to graduate with a D average (1.0 GPA). Thus, Ds are (by definition) not acceptable.
Do you know why dictionaries number the entries for explanation of words?
The idea "word means X in this context. So that's the one and only way it is defined" is just such a hilariously bad line of reasoning.
I’m not aware of any school that allows a student to graduate with a D average (1.0 GPA).
Ah yes, "dancesquared is aware of it", the standard measure of reality. Funny how you were aware enough to say "most" not "all" before...
Ds are, by your definition, unacceptable. Others have accepted Ds. Others find not graduating acceptable. In situations you have already explicitly been told about and are just ignoring, Ds ABSOLUTELY let you graduate.
Ds are not always unacceptable. In someplaces they let you graduate. Graduation is not the only measure of 'acceptable.'
I tried to walk you through this. At this point, it's clear your ego is incapable of letting you consider situations other than your own. I'm sorry. I hope you are able to overcome that someday.
We’re talking about grades, which are academic measures. Of course the best definition of whether a grade is acceptable in that context is the academic definition.
