[quote=Anonymous]I would love to hear feedback from FCPS high school teachers regarding the grading policy for teachers.  Specifically, my DC is in an AP class at an FCPS high school and the teachers has not graded any writing assignments (including the written Portion of any unit tests) since October.  My DC is given writing assignments and completes short answer and essay potions of unit tests…but the teacher does not grade them and enters nothing in the grade book for them. The teacher does grade most multiple choice quizzes and tests.  However, has told my child that some quiz grades aren’t in the grade book because the teacher threw out the quizzes before entering the grade.  Is this normal?

Is there any policy in FCPS that requires teachers to actually grade tests given or written work? This AP class will have a written component on the AP exam and DC has been given no feedback on any written assignments for the last two marking periods.  I am not sure if the teachers is overwhelmed, or lazy, but it seems odd to have students put a lot of work into studying for tests and quizzes, and writing papers, to simply not grade them or throw them
Out without entering grades into the grade book.  I’m just a little frustrated because DC is putting a lot of effort into this class and getting absolutely no feedback.[/quote]
