[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don't waste your time trying to understand the APS standards-based grading. It's just a tool for teachers to avoid the hard work of preparing assessments and grading assessments. The teacher sticks out a wet finger and estimates the direction of the wind and that's it. Zero value to students or parents - it doesn't tell you anything about how your child is doing. Whatever little information is there is buried in meaningless fluffed up wording - I honestly don't know how parents put up with this nonsense. We were strung along with these APS "assessments" for four years until we had enough of APS and voted with our feet. Now we have actual assessments and finally understand how our child is doing.[/quote]

Ah yes…
It’s the teachers who came up with this system. We were looking for something that would require a lot more work, ideally accompanied by hours of meetings and “professional development,” only for APS to change its mind several times until it figured it out. You got it![/quote]

It's certainly not the parents who came up with this system. It's absolutely the "educators" who did. Aka the teachers who got promoted to Syphax.[/quote]
