[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Take the grading out of it. This is an AP class...college level. That's how we grade in college. I don't count homework, just major assessments.

I have a kid in college and SBG does not resemble college grading at all. DC said college was a shock after SBG and kids have to catch up to higher expectations in college.

Nice try admin [/quote]

Not admin. College professor. How exactly was it such a big shock...and assuming your kid went to JMHS.

The problem so many of you have with SBG is that you don't get to fluff grades with busy work. Which is exactly how I assess my students.

My students know if they don't do the readings or homework, they are screwed. They adjust pretty fast. [/quote]

My worry is that the SBG students will fare worse in college admissions because  they have artificially lower grades compared to the other nearby high schools. This is the opposite of equity. Thanks for the poster who provided context that things will get easier in the coming semester.  [/quote]
