Seniors Alex Dobner, Andy Bazany, Cassidy Stevens, and sophomore Michael Bennett compete in the Varsity match of the Chester County Academic Competition semi-finals. The final scores were 125 points for Conestoga, 130 for Unionville High School and 95 for Coatesville High School. However, two Conestoga buzzers defaulted during part of the match, and a decision will be made to determine whether the team should be allowed to go to finals.
UPDATE: In a unanimous decision by the superintendants of the other qualifying schools, the Varsity team will participate in the finals, along with Unionville, West Chester Henderson, and Downington East High Schools.
This blog should be copied and handed out to every teacher and administrator in the public schools. You hit it right on the head; grades are a poor indicator of student achievement and also not a true motivator.
