[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I recently became aware that the high school of my child's indepdent school (child is younger) has started an equity grading program.  
According to the school newspaper,
"Students are allowed to retake any major assessments; teachers must provide a rubric for major assignments; students must not be given a grade lower than 50%; and students are not penalized for submitting assignments late, as long as it is submitted within four weeks of the due date. "

Apparently guided by this:

https://www.educationnext.org/time-to-pull-plug-on-traditional-grading-supporters-say-mastery-based-grading-could-promote-equity/

I'm a little confused, to be diplomatic. I mean, a rubric for major assignments seems reasonable...

Is this happening at other local private schools too? [/quote]

I certainly hope not!  Sounds like MCPS. What private school is doing this now?[/quote]
I have a child at MCPS and a highly sought after private school. Neither do this, according to the teachers both my kids have had in high school.[/quote]
