Current Assistant Principal was the one who got arrested for grand larceny after shoplifting at Target. Herndon hired her.

Standard based instruction this year brought down test scores in all but the failing kids. Principal lied and said FCPS made her do it. Parents are pissed off

Sounds typical for FCPS, nasty triggered parents with mental issues and corrupt garbage in human form teachers committing theft and fraud hired by the system. Pathetic.

What school do your children attend?

+1
The PP will never tell us. She just likes to control where OTHER people’s kids go to school.[/

I don’t gives a fcuk where anybody else goes, just happy to not be there.

Thank you for clarifying that you have nothing useful to this conversation because you have no first-hand knowledge.

Ah sorry for the confusion, I was not clear. My big beef with SBG is that one wrong answer gets you a B on any given test. Two wrong is a C. And this is more than just a few questions per test. So it is hard to get an A to raise your grade from whatever you had. But if you have a C or a D than a B would raise your grade. All of this just seems unnecessarily stressful.

Consistent with what others saying for the push down in grades when at top end (and the Herndon charts)

Man if I was a principal and had to deal with all these crazy moms I’d be nuts too

I don’t know much about it but I think it’s high poverty low education population, mostly ELL?

Maybe you could just go back to the previous grading program and then you wouldn't have to deal with them.

NP. You mean the grading system that every FCPS HS uses except Madison and Herndon? What a concept! I’m sure will get another Frankenstein next year so that will be 3 years in a row of changes to the grading system. Woo-hoo!

Yes exactly that. If you aren't going to move forward with this experiment why keep the schools that are miserable with it continuing when there was a perfectly good system there before and all the other schools are using it too

I have heard from a solid source that SBG is going away at HHS next year.

Did the source mention when this would be announced?

Probably at the end of Q1... you know, just to keep things interesting.

Know principal said she was moving June 11 meeting on grading when FCPS put out their new grading policy update, but has she put anything more since? Did I miss it? Based on FCPS update, read she can continue SBG at Herndon so assume that is going to be what she does, but did she actually confirm that yet? Thanks,

Is Herndon still skills based grading this year? Presume if is this year too then SBG will be for many years go forward.

Madison has made changes for at least 6 years in a row.
