This is just unfuk'nbelievable!  (Bean's school district but mine probably does it too being as they have only lost about 5 games in the last 6 or 7 years.

ROUND ROCK, Texas (KXAN) — A change is coming to high school transcripts in the Round Rock Independent School District.

Starting this school year, the administration has decided to eliminate “D” from its letter grading scale.

Current grading scale New grading scale
A 90-100 A 90-100
B 80-89 B 80-89
C 75-79 C 70-79
D 70-74 F Below 70
F Below 70 Source: RRISD

A grade in the low 70s will no longer be classified as a “D.” The student will now get a “C” which represents all grades in the 70s. Any grade below 70 is still an “F.”

A student’s grade point average and class rank will still be calculated the same.

The district says it decided to make the change to help student-athletes and match a “common practice” of schools and districts around the country.

The NCAA uses the letter grades to calculate eligibility and scholarships

Let's make everything pass/fail.

Won't be long before the term "fail" is banned.  "Pass" and "Ladder for Improvement".

Give 'em a participation trophy.

That's what too many high school diplomas already are.

And college degrees.

As long as we all feel good about ourselves and are politically correct…

And vote Democrat and keep our mouths shut.

Went to have me some Uncle Julio's Mexican Food for lunch as I do once every couple of months and it took so long to get my food (around 35 minutes) they gave me my lunch free.  Place is usually not all that busy at lunch but it was full-up today, must be a big convention in town as it is only a block from the convention center and a lot of them were obviously conference lizards.

Morning Flip

last we spoke you were getting into the pool with a cigar, not too
hot last night was it?

I have done that for about the last 10 days because it is too hot to smoke any other way with temps over 100 every day.   For what little it is worth supposed to cool down a bit with some rain this weekend but I don't have a lot of hope for that being reality.

And we have another heat wave rolling in here.  Potential for Tstorms as well.

LOL, 98 degrees with a feels like 112 here right now.

101 and 117 now!

You might want to visit the surface of the sun to cool off.
