[quote=Anonymous]I too was stunned at what was passing for good grades in writing, especially since these were AP/IB classes. MCPS seems to have completely de-emphasized any notion of grammar, punctuation or spelling in favor of really technical rubrics that don't seem to develop complex writing. It's concerning. Especially since the shift to digital means teachers aren't giving very substantive feedback on the writing either. As an MCPS kid in the 90s, getting papers back with not only a grade, but markup throughout the essay was how I developed as a writer. Like you, OP, I'm shocked at the current state of MCPS when it comes to writing instruction. It's pretty bad.[/quote]
