[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Math is a subject that builds on itself from year to year. It is incredibly hard to learn Algebra 2 if you passed Algebra 1 with a 59.5%. With 50% rule, the understanding level may be even less. Maybe we need to look for alternative options. Option 1: Instead of 50% rule, would it be better for students to retake a class? MCPS allows students to replace an old grade with a new grade. This would boost the GPA and make sure students have enough background to move to the next level. Option 2: Maybe we should not even grade math with a letter grade. Maybe we should determine what objects they have learned, allowing them to continue to move forward at their own pace. The transcript could instead say what level of math they were studying each school year. Are there any other options out there that would better serve our students?[/quote] NO[/quote]
