[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]i doubt exams will come back because PARCC goes away. [b]As I recall, BOE removed final exams because they were a source of "too much stress" for students.[/b] They were replaced with the Required Quarterly Assessment, which is now called Progress Check. The RQA/Prog Check is worth 10% of a quarter's grade. Not every subject has them, but math is one that does have them. [/quote] You recall incorrectly. [b]The high school I went to did not have whole-quarter or whole-semester final exams[/b], with or without special final-exam periods. I don't think they are a necessary component of a good high school education.[/quote] So you graduated from an MCPS high school in the last 2 years? I was specifically referring to Montgomery County (MD) Board of Education decision. They canned middle school final exams about 3 years ago and high school final exams were eliminated the next year and replaced with the RQA. [/quote]
