[quote=Anonymous]I got curious and looked up MCPS's current description of PE and I found their curriculum and grading policy: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1w6I5rIx3H3WSY4d9XRtj8Gu69SEhrDVA/view

[QUOTE]
Assessment of Grade-Level Outcomes in High School Physical Education
In an effort to establish consistent grading guidelines the following skill proficiency continuum was
developed. [b]As a reminder, assessment is based on student performance related to specific outcomes and
objectives and not based on effort, behavior, specific clothing, or criteria that is not aligned with
the State framework[/b]. Students should be made aware of the specific criteria for success prior to
assessment and all aspects of the objective must be explicitly taught within class.

● Pre-assessments or pre-tests should not be recorded in the gradebook but should be used as a
baseline for improvement.
● Many of the high school grade-level outcomes require opportunity for students to work to mastery
of concepts, skills, and academic language.
● Single opportunities for students to show mastery of content should be avoided and students
should be given multiple and varied opportunities to meet the criteria of success.[/QUOTE]

I guess this answers my question on why kids don't get penalized for not changing anymore. But wow, your effort and behavior have no impact on your grade in a PHYSICAL EDUCATION class?

Do present-day PE teachers like this? Is this what they want?[/quote]
