[quote=Anonymous][quote]Ask your kid what class was like back when classwork counted.[/quote] Their grades were full of copied fluff, partner work, photo-math'd assignments, plagiarized papers. Busy work that demonstrated no understanding. [quote]I think the point of skills-based grading is ultimately to inflate the grades at the end of the year[/quote] The opposite, actually. It's to take out the fluffy stuff and only grade demonstration of knowledge/skills. I'm extremely against it because of the work it requires of teachers, but it is a more accurate grade for the student IF implemented correctly (no idea how Madison is doing it) [/quote]
