Recently for the past three nine weeks students in almost every Algebra 1 and 2 classes have been failing. The main reason for students recent bad grades is Mr.Hays grading policy. He  has consistently enforced harsh and excessive policies and standards on students since he began teaching at Pike Road High School. During testing he does not assist struggling students and tells them to “trust their gut”. Now after months and months of failing we have decided that this has to end and more relaxed grading policies must take place.
