Students now must score an "F-plus," or 50-59 percent, and be absent fewer than 40 days to qualify... The new policy trimmed about 200 students, leaving 900 enrolled... Bush's mother, Vilma Ortiz, was outraged... "This is unfair and ridiculous," she said. ------------- Now, who can blame the poor woman for being outraged that her son and 200 other Boston scholars got thrown out of school? It's unfair to require an F+ average and ditching school less than 40 times!
