Some Hillsborough students pass mid-term exams with fewer than half the correct answers
TAMPA — Should your kid get a C on his Algebra 2 Honors midterm exam with more than half the answers wrong?
Sure, says the Hillsborough County School District.
That's ridiculous, says a math teacher at Wharton High School.
"We all are doing these kids a gross disservice," said Maxine Stark, a veteran teacher who's convinced that some of the grades on the report cards issued Friday were too generous.

In the Tampa Bay area school districts are entrusted with multi billion dollar budgets that directly impact over 500,000 students, 50,000 employees and thousands of vendors and service providers.
Elected school boards in each of the counties are tasked with overseeing these dollars and providing oversight.
Ultimately, however,it falls upon the citizenry to monitor the conduct and expenditures of public dollars and the quality of education being provided to children.
Reports of many children struggling to attain a quality education have been featured prominently in the local media and underscores the need for parents, family members and all stakeholders to actively participate in the educational process.
Please consider attending an upcoming school board meeting to add your voice to the call for a high quality education for all children.
