[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]SBG is designed to move students' focus from grades to learning. It does this by making grades arbitrary, unpredictable, [b]and lower than traditional grades at the high end. So it's working as intended.[/b] What is not acknowledged is why students focus on grades. Lowering grades won't fix that, it will just make students more stressed. [/quote] Yes, exactly. Grades at the high-end are lowered by the new standards-based grading. Lowering grades at the top end is an effective method for helping to close the achievement gap. [/quote]
